This Week’s Mini Virtual Hackathon Project: PerfectDate Generator
We built something fun this week — PerfectDate Generator is a simple website that gives you custom date ideas based on your time, budget, vibe, and preferences.
Just tell it what kind of day you want, and it’ll come up with 3 ideas that fit.

How it Works:
Pick your:
- Time available (2 hours / 4 hours / All day)
- Budget ($20 / $50 / $100+)
- Vibe (Chill / Adventurous / Romantic / Nerdy / Outdoorsy)
- Location type (Restaurant / Activity / Nature / At-home)
- Activity level
- Partner preferences (optional)
Then it generates 3 date ideas with:
- Estimated cost
- Time required
- Why it’s a good fit
Why This Was Cool:
This idea could go in so many directions:
- Swipe-to-match based on the date idea itself
- Sell full date packages
- Partner with local businesses
- Auto-suggest locations between friends
- Outdoor adventure planning with terrain analysis
What we built is simple — but it’s a great starting point.
