HopIn
A carpooling app for people going the same way. Drivers add their route, passengers join, and the app counts the cars and CO2 that sharing saves. Built in two weeks.

The problem
Transport is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions. HopIn was built for a two-week coding competition on the environment and climate, around one idea: help people who travel the same way share a car. Fewer cars means less CO2, less traffic and lower costs for everyone in it.
What I built
A mobile app in React Native and Expo with a Node.js backend.
- Drivers add a ride: where from, where to, the earliest departure and the latest arrival, how many seats are free, and on which days: one day, this week, or for several weeks.
- Passengers find rides going their way and join them. New matches arrive as notifications in real time ("We found a passenger for your ride").
- Every ride has its own page with the start, the destination, the times, who is driving and who is in the car, and a preview of the route on the map. Problems can be reported from there.
- Driver and passengers message each other in the app to agree on the pickup.
- The profile shows the impact: rides shared as a passenger, passengers picked up as a driver, and how many cars that took off the road.


A note on what is shown here
There is no public code for this project. The screenshots use demo data: the names, rides and conversations are made up. The app's demo is in Polish.
