Inspiration
As daily drivers we know that there is no way around the cost of fuel. We want to provide a solution to find the cheapest fuel in your area.
What it does
This program takes a user's phone number, zip code, and preferred fuel type. It will then text the user with the price of the cheapest gas in their area (zip) and a link that will start google navigation to the gas station.
How we built it
Combining flask forms and a firebase database we built this webapp.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into difficulties trying to find an API with local gas prices. Also, how to send a navigation link from where a user is rather than requiring location services.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting the messaging system as well as the gas price system to work.
What we learned
We learned how to combine a back end with firebase and a flask front end including a flaskform
What's next for BrokegAss
Launching on the web entirely and a reoccurring messaging service. With hosting services this could prove to be useful to everyday life.
