Inspiration
Our inspiration is the problematic of the difficulty in getting access to certificate and safe masks, this was caused by an extreme demand on health supplies. Our app mission is to allow everyone to have health supplies at their disposal by exposing places where they are being sell.
What it does
Our app provides a tool to connect health suppliers with anyone who needs protection due to the actual situation. It gives us pharmacies and stores near our location that are selling mask. The user can also see the type of mask they are selling, their address, their prices and their stock.
How we built it
We connected our frontend made in react and our backend in python with react. To store the information we use a MongoDB database.
Challenges we ran into
We had different challenges in trying to use google API to get different information about different stores around the user location. We also had difficulties in connecting our database with the backend and trying to also connected to our frond end. And our final challenge was to store the app in google cloud, that gave us a lot of problems to the point that we almost missed the deadline.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to connect every element of our webpage despise every error we got. We also were able to have great communication as a team giving us a fun experience. We also were able to make our webpage responsive so people can use it on the go!
What we learned
In the programming are we were able to learn a lot of useful technologies in the web development that we can use i the future. We also learned how to use mongoDB database and how to use google API to get information that e needed. And outside the programming area, we also learned a lot of information of covid-19 pandemic that can helps us prevent in our communities.
What's next for imascstore
Find local (or even worldwide) stores and pharmacies that can list their inventory in order to make imacstore bigger and do promotion so people can use it and decrease the peak of cases of covid-19.
