No Mo Sno

Inspiration

We could see mobile apps transforming job searches and how it became more common to outsource domestic jobs using these mobile apps. We wanted to take part in this new wave and further connect technology with our daily lives

What it does

Make sno no mo, an application that promotes snow removal services by connecting shovelers with a database of customers. Jobs can be added by registered users and be seen within the app sorted by location with added information such as pricing and rating. The application also supports verified users to make comments about a specific shoveler and mirroring functionality to collect all comments filtered by a given shoveler.

How we built it

The React application was developed by combining a flask backend that handled data manipulation and collection using PostgreSQL with a front-end that dynamically creates pages along with HTML styling.

Challenges we ran into

Creating multiple pages with React
