CommunityConnect

Inspiration

The United Nations sustainability development goal 8 is about decent work and economic growth. After the pandemic, many small businesses lost their key customers. We wanted to give them the power to reconnect with their community.

What it does

CommunityConnect aims to uplift local businesses within a user's geographic location.

How we built it

We utilized Flutter for both frontend and backend development. For frontend, we used the Flutter framework as well as various libraries and plugins. For backend, we built out API calls using the Flutter framework and asynchronous calls.

Challenges we ran into

We struggled with deciding on a tech stack that best suited our application and we also ran into some integration issues when it came to putting together the various components of our application.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the amount of work that we were able to accomplish given the short timeframe of 24 hours. Developing a project is a satisfying experience, but working on an application that impacts so many people and could really facilitate change is extremely gratifying.
