Inspiration We noticed food being wasted while there was still a need for it. We needed an easier way to bring together food that can be eaten with people in need.
What it does FoodFlow enables the listing of food as well as the sharing of the individual's location. Food banks and pantries in the surrounding area view the listed food through an interactive map. This increases the efficiency of food collection and allows the reduction of food wastage.
“How We Built It” We developed our application using Mapbox for maps, JavaScript for dynamic UI functionalities, and localStorage. The application is customizable and user-friendly.
Challenges Geolocation, avoiding duplicate entries, optimizing the interface with the use of live geolocation features.
Achievements An interactive system where donors can link up easily and quickly with food centers in their region.
What's next User accounts, notifications through automation, and the ability to search more groups.
