Why did we come up with Help-A? (Inspiration)

Help-A app is an idea that was generated due to the challenges that we faced during the pandemic as a society. And as us being students the shifts from in person to online classes and vice versa has proved to be a hit or miss in the actuality of learning and understanding what is required. Whether it be in-person or online, the debate as to which one is better will never end. Hence The Help-A app is supposed to provide an online option for connecting students and people with different preferences based on their strengths and weaknesses. So, for instances, if a student is more inclined to take lessons online, the student can be linked with teachers with same preference. Help-A is designed and to be developed to cover other major issues such as Mental Health, Family Wellbeing and Poverty.

Objectives

  • To develop the Aiding aspect in Societies by providing an accessible means of doing so to all in form of an application.
  • To encourage individuals to learn and maintain pursuance of their projects.
  • To provide an effective cost-free option for individuals to learn and share knowledge and expertise to others on the go.
  • To enhance Innovation by encouraging collaboration among people from different industries and locations in general.
  • To provide an easy option for societies to connect in solving problems.

What it does

The process on how an individual is to use the help-A app is very simple and user-friendly. In that,

  • The User is greeted with a welcome page once he open the downloaded Help-A app.
  • The User will be prompted to sign up for an account or login if he already has an account.
  • The User then is then supposed to fill and submit his profile info where he is going to indicate his strength and weaknesses(will be used as his preferences)
  • Then User-A can then be linked with other individuals and send requests for help to other Users who their strengths are the weaknesses of User-A .
  • Other Users can choose to accept to the request or not and the incentive of accepting a request will be the ratings you get after helping someone.

Challenges we ran into

We had difficulties creating a visually pleasing UI design using the default Swing library from Java.

What's next for Help-A

Help-A can be expanded to cover other major issues such as Mental Health, Family Wellbeing and Poverty.
