The tech behind the magic

• Next.js: Because we like our React with a side of server-side rendering
• Firebase: For when you need a database that's as sleepless as a hackathon team
• TailwindCSS: Making our app look pretty, even at 4 AM
• Google Maps API: Helping us navigate the treacherous waters of geolocation

Challenges? We've got 'em!

Our plans hit a speed bump when our chosen API required email approval for access, and time wasn't on our side. Meanwhile, Google Maps decided to play hard to get, throwing security errors our way and proving trickier to integrate than we'd hoped. But in true hackathon spirit, we pushed through!
