Inspiration
We are a group of rising high school juniors who looked around at our society and wanted to make a difference. The plight of disabled people in their commutes every day is a solvable problem, and we think we found a solution.
What it does
Maps4DAPS (Disabled American People Services) catalogs the disability-friendliness of locations all around the world. Users can rate these locations based on their specific disability and we even have an algorithm to calculate the estimated delay caused by the disability.
How we built it
We based our project on a previous authorization system built by one of our members. Then we worked on the front-end UI for logins, eventually scrapped that, and built the landing page with project information. Then we laid out the organization of the maps page. The rest came together in time through CSS, HTML, JavaScript, and Go.
Challenges we ran into
Time was a major concern (in fact, this description is extremely rushed :)).
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We managed to build a functional website with an integrated Map Box API in 36 hours and we had to pull an all-nighter to do it.
What we learned
Time constraints and planning are crucial to understand. If we had started working earlier we would have been able to fully finish the project.
What's next for Maps4DAPS
We may return in the future to finish what we started with the time estimation.
