About

Given two starting locations, preferred modes of transit, and a desired type of location (coffee shop, restaurant, bar, etc.), Meet Halfway finds a meeting destination with roughly equal travel times for both parties. Meet Halfway currently works for addresses within the United States.

Meet Halfway is a Django app that uses SQLite3 for the database, and Bootstrap for the front end.
