  Finding a safer route home

What it does

Feature list:

• stores, analyzes, and lists crowdsourced data (seeded from existing website)
• data visualization through graphs
• text message notification for nearby reports
• generate routes home that avoid high incident areas

How I built it

• Ruby on Rails, React, SASS
• lots of teamwork!
• lots of caffeine!

Challenges I ran into

• dealing with Google maps api
• dealing with Twilio api (for text message notifications)
• inconsistent dataset format
• importing the existing database from Safecity

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• how well we worked together
• how polished the product is
• that we were able write a working, feasible app

What I learned

• learned our tech stack a lot better!
• how to effectively work together
• we understand the situation and the cause that Safecity is trying to promote a lot better

What's next for Safer City

• making the app more general: taking in more types of reports
• spreading to other countries (like the US)
