Inspiration
My main inspiration for this project was those who surround my life, such as my friends who are neurodivergent/autistic as well as family members who are on the spectrum as well. I wanted to make an application that would help them gain more independence by being able to better assess their options on where to go without always having to rely on others, thus giving them just that bit of autonomy in their lives. I also made this application as a way for people who aren't necessarily on the spectrum but still want a convenient way to gauge certain sensory triggers more easily whenever one needs that option. It is a benefit to all those who struggle with certain sensory issues and a way to connect with your community by making it a safer and better place for everyone.
What it does
It allows users to add a place (or add to an existing place) with reviews on how it ranks in terms of sensory levels, such as brightness levels, noise levels, crowds, smells, and temperature. These scores together combine into an overall score, with the highest score for the individual categories meaning that it is intense, and the lower overall score being a generally unfriendly environment to those with certain sensory issues. Users can also look up specific locations if there is a location they have in mind.
How I built it
I built it using HTML/CSS/Javascript for the frontend portion of the project and Firebase for the backend portion of the project. (Update Later)
