The challenge was to develop "BuddyUP," a mobile app focused on connecting individuals who want to explore events and activities with like-minded people. The app aimed to provide an easy-to-use platform for users to discover events based on their interests, create their own events, connect with buddies attending the same event, and collaborate with mentors. Additionally, the app needed to be entirely built on Bubble.io and integrated with Stripe for secure payment processing
