Inspiration

Kevin and I were inspired to make the app because we felt there was a real lack of an all around coronavirus support app for everyone.

What it does

This app provides a symptom checklist, with information straight from the CDC health guidelines on coronavirus. It also provides a real time chat room for anyone to talk just about anything coronavirus, from symptoms, to emotional support, to just everyday quarantine life.

How I built it

Android Studio, Java, and XML were all key components in the development of the app. Flutter was considered but would be too much a learning curve for a weekend project.

Challenges I ran into

Google Maps has a very complicated setup and many of Google's APIs for places and maps are becoming deprecated due to AndroidX.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Live chat working just as we intended

What I learned

How to work with Cloud Firestore efficiently and how to query live updates from the Firestore.

What's next for COVID Checklist

A more in depth Google maps implementation, more live chat features, a much more detailed checklist and guideline sheet from the CDC
