Around 600,000 people go missing every year in the USA. Our project helps people to file a missing person complaint which then our website sends it out to all the people living in the same locality.
Inspiration: Many people go missing everyear, and in most of the cases someone from their own locality already has an idea about it. People don't ask their neighbors but rather just go to the police.
What it does: Our app sends out a copy of the missing person complaint to all the people living in the same locality.
How we built it: We used velo by Wix to make our website, used SQL lite for backend, Twilio API to send out messages in bulk, JavaScript, django and python.
Challenges we ran into:This was our first project that we were able to execute and complete. None of us had any previous experience, we pretty much learned as we made the website.
Accomplishments: that we're proud of We were introduced to APIs for the first time, and we learned it while making it work
What we learned: We explored most of the features that Wix provides, learnt everything about twilio
What's next for Comm Shield: In the future we might work on sending the complaint to authorities and add Geo location too.
