Food Watch

Inspiration

We wanted to help food-insecure households/people who needed food that most people were taking for granted and throwing away.

What it does

Lets you discover free food around you.

How I built it

1 person front-end, 1 person backend

Challenges I ran into

Working on a team with only 2 developers was extremely challenging.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

At the end of the hackathon, we had an actual working prototype of the application. It was no longer an idea, our idea had become reality and we plan to demo it in action on stage.

What I learned

That trying to build an actual working prototype of your idea is a ton of hard work. But it was a much better experience than if we simply built a demo app that did nothing.

What's next for Food Watch

Finish the app, and ship it!
