Gopool

Gopool is an open source, cloud-based, mobile-ready application for carpooling. Powered by JAVA and Firebase. Made for my final year project to showcase the technology stack. The carpooling mobile applciation provides a platform to car share. The user and vehicle registration details are stored via Firebase. Users can login and create/ send booking requests to other users on the app. Payments can be made via a sandbox payment system. The user interface designed in XML is friendly and can be adapted to user requirments
