Inspiration

The initial inspiration came from bing's covid-19 tracker. We wanted a simple but detailed platform where people could go and get their daily updates on the current situation.

What it does

We are using https://pomber.github.io/covid19/timeseries.json data-set to generate graphs and table format data with search functionality.

How we built it

We built the website with react. We used multiple libraries including chart.js, axios.js, for graphs and API calls to the data-set.

Challenges we ran into

The main challenge for us was working with the data-set. As the data was huge it was taking quite a long time for pages to load. We were somewhat able to tackle the problem but there is still a lot to be done. Secondly, creating charts with chart.js was a huge learning curve, we had to through a lot of online documentation.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

For us as a team the biggest accomplishment was having a usable product at the end. We never worked with the mentioned libraries before so we learnt a lot of cool things that will help us in future.

What's next for COVID-19 FactCheck

First Step for us will be to bring this website to mobile form-factor because that way we can reach out to even bigger audience. Second step will be to add realtime alert system so that people can we aware of the situations around their town. and Finally we want to release the website for closed alpha testing so that we can get regular feedback to improve the systems.
