SU21 Team Duryan Computing

Theme/Purpose

Duryan Computing is a group of graduate and undergraduate students at UC San Diego brought together by the San Diego Supercomputer Center’s internship program that was designed to teach agile methodologies in a hands-on capacity. Our goal was to create a new app or website from the ground up by following daily scrum meetings and bi-weekly scrum reviews.

Product

Our product is QuickQuAck, a real-time lightweight discussion board that allows college students to connect anonymously over a localized area. Users can create text or poll posts, which other users can like, comment or vote on. Posts are timed to delete within 24 hours so that the app stays agile and fresh. They can search for content through several post tags. Users can also chat with other users and can either stay anonymous while doing so or choose to reveal their actual name. Users have new randomized names on every post so user interactions could not tracked through a single anonymous name. We hope that this product will facilitate more student interaction on the UC San Diego campus, as it reopens for students in the fall quarter.
