Friend Finder

Problem it solves:
In this day and age, it is difficult to find friends with similar likes and interests. This solution provides a means to find friends that are the most compatible.

How solved:
Each friend responds to a short survey and is paired with the friend that is closest in compatibility based on the survey results.

Technical approach:
Uses express and node to route survey responses and store friend data. Upon responding to a survey, the person with the closest compatibility is shown in a modal. Responses are compared to each other and a difference is calculated and then added up across all responses for each individual. The individual with the closes score to the survey responder is the most compatible.
