Next Chapter

Inspiration

My family and I moved to America about 4 years ago and when we came here, we knew nothing. We didn't know where to shop, where to go to find a job, how to find a doctor, where to go to take out a driving license. Even the simplest task was hard for us because we had no idea. Sometimes we do hear about things but don't exactly don't know what they mean, for example, we had heard about Walmart but we didn't know what Walmart really was, is it where we shop groceries? clothes? Both? Do they high-end stuff or things we can afford? I know that it wasn't only my family that went through this so I decided to make an app to help immigrant like us, or just people here on temporary visa.

What it does

It provides you with articles about how to do the things we need to do in our day to day life like shopping, taxes, taking out driving licenses, where to find resources to learn English, etc. It also asks for your status, for example, if you are permanent resident or you are here on student visa or if you are here on H1-B, etc. Then, it suggests articles based on your visa status.

How I built it

Since we did not have enough time, I made a prototype using Adobe XD.

Challenges I ran into

I couldn't decide whether app would be more useful to website but I went for app for now. If this project would be completed someday, having a website too would be more efficient.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

How it all came together

What I learned

It is hard to decide what kind of items to add to it.
