Inspiration
We chose the accessibility route because we thought it was the most interesting path that offered the most fulfilling reward.
What it does
It's an accessibility app that aims to accommodate people with mobility issues, providing the most accessible path available. It aims to do this by gaining community feedback and using census data to route the user in a way that avoids any obstacles. There is also a section that gives people the opportunity to leave a review on the accessibility of certain places.
How we built it
We built it using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and Google Maps API.
Challenges we ran into
We tried to implement MongoDB to store the submissions, but we had trouble connecting it to our website. We also wanted to overlay census data on the map that highlighted inaccessible areas, so users can see.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We have something to turn in.
What we learned
Web development and all its tools are tough to use, but persevering allowed us to push through and present a final product.
What's next for NavAble
We believe it has potential, but it definitely needs a lot of work to get it to the vision that we have for it. We don't know if anyone would work on it after but it was a fun project.
