Fauxcall

Graph of Fauxcall

Inspiration

We were inspired by the idea that there should be more ways to defend ourselves from creepy people.

What it does

This would allow people to make a fake phone call so people would be more dissuaded from attacking someone.

How we built it

We used React as our front end with Tailwind.css for styling. We used Next.js for our backend. We also used MongoDB Atlas for our database and we used sesame.com for our fake call.

Challenges we ran into

We had some issues running sesame.ai as it wasn't linking to our frontend properly. We also had some issues with our texting applications.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to get a good concept and turn it into something of a work in progress. We also managed to learn how to use tools like Mongoose and twilio.

What we learned

We learned how to use Next.js, Tailwind.css, twilio, and the mongoose library for MongoDB.

What's next for Fauxcall

We would spend more time implementing the AI. We would also add more intricate forms that allow people to add as many emergency contacts they want to at a time.
