LOKL Final Submission

Here at LOKL, we have created a platform that allows for community members to connect with local businesses and charities, as well as obtain information on COVID-19 based on their location.

Inspiration

Many of our group members have witnessed first hand how this pandemic is impacting local businesses. We see that many local businesses are running an extreme risk of closing their doors permanently due to their current state.

What it does

Our platform allows community members to connect and support local businesses and charities and stay up to date with the latest local news regarding COVID-19.

How I built it

We are creating this website using HTML and CSS code as well as Figma to design the user interface of the website.

Challenges I ran into

We have struggled in the aspect of taking stored data and creating user profiles from them using Firebase and Firestore.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We believe that the UI looks very professional and clean, and the inner CSS and HTML code is very well structured.

What I learned

We learned many things regarding google Firebase and Firestore and why it is so useful. Even though we did not end up using it, we tried to and learned a lot.

What's next for LOKL

We plan on continuing LOKL after this pandemic to create a tight-knit community platform. We plan on being able to incorporate more social elements into the website and more functionality for users and businesses as we continue to grow as programmers. We see immense potential in the community that this site can bring!
