MongoDB, Atlas, BCrypt HASH, node js, express, socket.io, Heroku, React Native, JavaScript Google Maps API, Google Geocode API

React Native - We wanted to use a new framework which would create a mobile app, we chose this as it was similar to React which we were already familiar with.

MongoDB - We wanted to use some new no SQL tech and this works well with mobile and geolocation data.

BCrypt HASH - To store users' passwords securely.

socket.io - We used WebSockets to enable real-time chat for users.

JavaScripts Maps API - To allow us to pin markers showing the user's location.

Google Geocode API - To enable us to convert users' postcodes into coordinates to use with Maps API.
