Inspiration

It came to me in a dream; I've always wanted to create a program/application that uses crowdsourcing, and coupling that with the amount of gang violence and environmental disasters from climate change, we decided to create this app.

What it does

You have a map of Haiti and you can put pins on it to signal some disaster.

How we built it

We used expo and react typescript.

Challenges we ran into

One of us, Daniel, has no experience with React nor Typescript, so that was something that challenged us.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Figuring out the map system.

What we learned

What's next for Carto

There's a lot, but some things that we want to do is we want to make it truly crowdsourced in the future, so multiple people using this app will see the same pins--not sure if that is already the case--and we want to make it easier for people to make these pins, as well as have these pins expire and disappear after a while.
