Homely

Inspiration:

• In light of the COVID situation in our community, we noticed that many shops were running out of stock
• It is often dangerous to go out shopping, as it puts one at risk of illness
• Our app helps people minimizing their risk of illness, by connecting shoppers to vendors

What we’ve learnt:

• We became better at using version control to collaborate remotely
• We needed an open source solution for mapping on our project, so we learnt how to use the Leaflet.js library on the fly

Design Process:

• Ideation - proposing various potential projects, evaluating them before choosing which project to tackle
• Planning - deciding the details, what could be developed and demonstrated within 24h
• Creating - delegated tasks to individual people (integrating the API, designing the UI etc.) and building the project up
• Testing and Debugging - fixing various issues, tweaking UI elements for improved aesthetics

Challenges:

• Finding creative ways to use our mapping library and geospatial data
• Building an application that can scale, and that is viable in the real-world
• Familiarizing ourselves with new tools for development such as react libraries and leaflet.js
