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

What's next for Rush Report

The next steps for Rush Report:

Manager role to report/delete false reports / access reports from users

Add more types of alerts

Add a WebSocket to automatically update POIs without user input and real time alerts and notifications

Deploy a server to run continuously

Test with large amount of users (10+)

Add comments on POI posts to give users more information
