Inspiration & Purpose behind the App
During these unprecedented times, there is a growing need for easy certification of an individual's COVID-19 Status. This kind of certification should be easily accessible and verifiable. This is especially true for individuals living in border cities, who might need to visit family and friends in different countries with different methods of testing & verification.
What does our Hack do?
Our web app lets users securely sign in using Google OAuth, fill in their information and survey details about their history with the virus, and generate a certificate. Users can also query existing certificates to verify another individuals' certificate, status and demographic information.
Our Tech Stack
The frontend of the application was created using React, along with Material-UI components. Since none of us had a lot of experience with frontend, this was a challenging but rewarding experience! The Backend makes use of GCP Firebase, with Firestore being used as a NoSQL database to store user information and certificates, and Firebase Hosting used to host the web app.
