Inspiration

We can see that we have a lot of stuff around us which we don't use every day and after a few years those things turn into junk. For instance, if in a society of 50 houses, each house has a lawnmower and we don't use it every day so after 10 years we will have 50 junk lawnmowers but if one house has a lawnmower and other houses borrow it from them then after 10 years, we will have 49 fewer junk lawnmowers and thus handling the waste on a very large scale and could also help in managing plastic waste.

What it does

Our project helps the user to place the things they want to lend others in their locality or you can also borrow from others.

How we built it

Framework Used:

React JS: Hooks, Axios
A JavaScript library called MapboxGL
Node JS, Express JS.

Database Used:

MongoDB

Challenges we ran into

Making use of MapboxGL in react hooks due to limited tutorials
Making sure the data is always up and running so that it doesn't just go on every refresh
Stopping the infinite looping of fetching data from a HTTP req when using Axios

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Made a fully functionally MERN Stack Application.
Provided an affordable easy to use solution for the world's waste management problem.
Found and used an alternative for Google Maps (as they have started charging money for using Maps).
This uses the ‘haversine’ formula to calculate the great-circle distance between two points.
