Inspiration
Was inspired to make a crowd sourced app to report ice sightings to protect and keep people aware.
Eventually it changed into more than just ice raids.
What it does
An interactive map that allows users to place markers designating unsafe areas.
Users are able to specify the type of danger, along with a description.
Users can also report false reports.
How we built it
Using Firebase’s FireStore Cloud store feature we are able to store Point-of-Interest and user objects to a database
We then access this database to view and interact with the points of interest
Used googles map apis to set up map
## Challenges we ran into
Challenges:
Learning firebase from scratch
Merging issues with android studio
## Accomplishments that we're proud of
Putting everything together and main map functionality
Appealing and user-friendly interface
Working account system
Working FireStore database
What we learned
Learned about Firebase
