Inspiration

Finding resources on where to find food can be difficult for many people. A lot of food also goes to waste when they're not consumed.

What it does

Food donors are able to sign in to their account, make a post about the recent items they have donated, the place, and the location. Food seekers are able to look at posts about food availability along with a map of the locations.

How we built it

This was built using Bootstrap, HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I used Firebase for user authentication. For the map, I used the Google Places API as well as geocoding.

Challenges we ran into

This was the first time I have used the Google Places API so it took some time to learn how to implement it into my project. This was also my first time using Bootstrap for my user interface.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of being able to implement the map into my project. I am also happy with how the overall user interface turned out.

What we learned

I learned how to make the UI more accessible for users as well as using the Google Places API.

What's next for Food Runners

I will work on implementing the back-end for this project.
