About the Project
Huddle Chat is a chat app that transforms your daily commute by connecting you with fellow travelers in real-time. Whether you're waiting at a station or riding the train, our app creates a community space for commuters.
After signing in and allowing location permissions, you can instantly connect with others on your route. The app provides live MBTA updates, ensuring you're always informed about schedules and service changes.
Our Mission
We believe that commuting shouldn't be a solitary experience. By connecting commuters, we're building a community that makes daily travel more engaging and informative.
Privacy & Security
Built with modern web technologies and designed for reliability, Huddle Chat prioritizes both user experience and privacy. Location sharing is used only to connect you with relevant chat rooms, and you maintain full control over your visibility settings.
The Team
The app was created by a team of five students as part of a project for the class CS4241 as part of the WPI Computer Science program.
