Inspiration
Food waste and hunger exist side by side. We wanted to build a system that bridges this gap by redistributing surplus food efficiently at a hyperlocal level.
What it does
FoodLink connects restaurants, canteens, and stores with NGOs or individuals nearby. Users can post surplus food, browse available meals, and claim them in real time with smart prioritization based on urgency and distance.
How we built it
We built a React-based web app with a modern UI, implementing smart matching logic, a fake map system, and real-time-like interactions using local state. The design focuses on accessibility and speed.
Challenges we ran into
Designing a system with external APIs Simulating real-time location and mapping Balancing UI design with functionality
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Built a full working MVP with intelligent matching
What's next for FoodLink
SMS/WhatsApp-based access Live maps and geolocation Deployment at scale with NGOs and communitiesiration
