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.

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.
