RepU

Inspiration:

• The events of 2020 and 2021 that brought attention to the broken relationship between marginalized communities and the government.

Overall Idea:

• Creating a platform to supply legal information and resources to minority communities to rebuild a connection between the government and minorities

What it does:

• Gives people information about their representatives and provides resources to contact them about different legislation or concerns
• Ability to sets up and notify people of political events happening locally

How we built it:

• Created a Figma Prototype and then implemented code to make a Website

Challenges we ran into:

• Collaborating in a remote environment
• Accessing proper APIs needed to retrieve the information needed for our site
• Connecting the domain legalU.tech to the site

Accomplishments that we're proud of:

• Creating a functional website

What we learned:

• How to use APIs
• Features of Javascript
• How to add images to a website using HTML

What's next for RepU:

• Given more time, we would have liked to incorporate APIs to all our features to make the site fully functional for all zip codes
