Inspiration
An estimated 13 million Ukranians are unable to reach aid or move, even though there are various modes of help present in the location. The reason for this is insufficient data transfer!
What it does
SWApp provides distressed individuals with a way of reaching help and automatically transferring data like camera feed, audio recordings and live location immediately. This information is analyzed, after which resources are allocated efficiently.
How we built it
We first set up the back end environment using node.js and mongodb for storage of information, after which we created the schema. The schema object had the alerts, usernames and additional information, which we then turned into an API. We used get API (to get all the alerts from the database) and the post API (to post the alerts to the database), all handled by node.js server. This is currently uploaded on heroku. We then used React to create the front end environment, styling it using tailwind css.
Challenges we ran into
It was difficult to create the entire vision for the application that we wanted in the limited amount of time, but we were able to get the main technical functionality working as well as wireframes ready to guide our development even after the hackathon!
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have been able to create an ecosystem that, in real-time, takes in alerts and allows individuals to see who they can help around them.
