Inspiration
Having had experiences with reliance on government assistance, we recognize that there are times when it is neither complete nor immediate.
What it does
Connects members of the community with those in need, represented by their social workers.
How I built it
The back end coding of our mock up was done using Java, on eclipse. We used figma to put together a visualization of our idea.
Challenges I ran into
The practicality of the app was occasionally questionable during the process. Is it vulnerable to exploitation? Can the users who need verification be verified? Is this something that people are willing to use? (Also github is confusing.)
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The problem-solving aspect was tough, but I can rest easy knowing I put my best effort in. Being able to adapt to the ever-evolving code and getting most of the results I wanted certainly made me feel like I did something worthwhile.
What I learned
Test early, test often, and have clarity.
What's next for DirectActionMoney
Clean up the code, test cases for functionality, design the front end.
