Tilda

Inspiration

Our inspiration was drawn mainly by the memory of Franklin Zhang. We recognized that there is danger where you least expect it to be. Nobody should ever have to worry about how safe their route home is.

What it does

This is why we decided to create "Tilda" the GPS website that routes that maps the safest route home based on crime, construction, car crashes, speeding etc.

How we built it

We planned out the scope of the project and brainstormed the best way possible to make this idea a reality. We split up the jobs into 4 parts so each of us would be in charge of a certain area. The jobs were authorization to use the application using a database, routing algorithm based off of mock safety data with API integration, made sure route rendering analysis and markers were visually seen and allow users to mark danger in real time.

Challenges we ran into

Version control was a bit of a issue for us as we were all working on separate branches and had multiple merge conflicts. Another challenge was the routing in general as it wasn't working properly. Pins wouldn't show either and had to change the logic accordingly.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Accomplishments we completed were building a navigation device from the ground-up. Working hand in hand with API and database integration.

What we learned

Learned how to format API requests to be used for the publicly accessed endpoints we used. Learned how to use supabase's built in authentication to make tracking and verifying users more efficiently.

What's next for Tilda

Update the routing system to be a bit less sensitive for danger conditions. Make it so users can sign in with google. We need to make it so the map reloads less (user experience). Get rid of mock data and start using live data in production instead of development since it wasn't working properly yet in our limited time. Make it so that the website views user reported danger reports (saved to supabase but wasn't implemented into frontend).
