Shovelmates

Inspiration

News articles of not enough volunteers to shovel snow

What it does

Connects seniors with volunteers to help clear their driveways

How we built it

Using a rust backend and a svelte native frontend.

Challenges we ran into

We were both learning new technologies, and installing all of the dependencies for developing on Android took a very long time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We both learned a lot about our respective technologies and also figured out a lot of ways to efficiently communicate ideas.

What we learned

Documentation tutorial websites can be misleading

What's next for Shovelmates
