Car Connect is a carpooling application designed to facilitate convenient and cost-effective ridesharing among users. Recently, a key feature has been implemented where users can create rides and other users can view and join those rides, enhancing the app's functionality and user engagement.

- Backend Integration:
- Integrated the frontend (built with Flutter and Dart) with the Django backend to ensure seamless data flow and interaction between user actions and the database.
- Implemented API endpoints and data models to handle ride creation, retrieval, and user participation (joining rides).
- User Interaction:
