Inspiration

As the pandemic grows, more and more problems occur, starting from the habit of the people, to the lack of discipline by the authorities to set the rules straight: i.e. wearing masks, or face shields, and other protocols. This triggers something in our mind, about how could we possibly help people to take precautions and safety measurement against the pandemic, and also provide a tool to also help them later on even after the pandemic ends.

What it does

It will take the location from the user to remind them to do health protocols required based on where they are. When going from home, you will be notified to wear mask, so you don't forget to use it and would not have any reason why you didn't use it. When arriving somewhere or going to leave from a place, you will be notified to wash your hands, or use hand sanitizers in the journey. You will also be able to see what reminders do you have for the day, month, or even year, so you won't miss them, as Alard will notify you, don't worry.

How I built it

We didn't had any idea until the day the hackathon starts, and it was pretty confusing. When we got the idea, we were thinking about the current situation and consider what we can do to help there. We also then try to think of the general flow of the app to maximize the potential usage and benefits people would get when using it, by taking into account the needs of notification and as less amount of user input, because that would be troublesome

Challenges I ran into

It is a truly big challenge to have a team of 2, and we need to do a lot of stuffs in around 36 hours. Since we also got something else to do, and obviously, some rest time in need, the time become a lot less than what we thought, and using some of the new tools (i.e. bubble.io) is a bit confusing, so we actually decided to focus using figma to finish the prototype.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Personally, I am really proud to be able to provide such a prototype in a matter of 36 hours, where I don't really have experience in hackathon before, so this is a pretty exciting experience for me to enjoy. I would love to join these events again in the future!

What I learned

I learned more about a lot of stuff, from architecture to developments using JS, passwordless logins, and many more! Though it is not necessarily being used in this project, but I definitely learned a lot, and hopefully we can be even more productive in such a 'short' period of time!

What's next for Alard

We will consider to improve and implement it to real life use cases, and provide Alard to everyone in need. We also did thought of more features that we can add to Alard, so can't wait for it!
