WE ARE FINISHED.
The feature sets that we culminated evolved quasi-linearly with the help of frequent collaboration from our NPO, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Our ultimate goal was to create something that synthesized ideas of familiarity and usefulness. We achieved this by using GUI elements that are ubiquitous in communications technologies. As an example, we needed to plot points on a map, so we used the Google Maps API. We also needed to filter the data that appeared on the map, so we used simple HTML elements to provide functionality without unnecessary flair.
Our focus was definitely channeled toward the back-end development, more so than the UI. We were able to provide loads of features for our NPO needed, which will hopefully translate into time. Our motivation for this was to allow volunteers and staff to spend less time with perfunctory tasks and to continue doing what they do best.
It's been a rare privilege working with Dannah and Charles and the other volunteers with the Opportunity Hack.
