10,468 | https://devpost.com/software/meet-powerups | landing page
Inspiration
Considering the pandemic going on, education in schools, colleges has become online pretty much in most places. The commonly preferred platform for classes, exams has been Google Meet. Although Google Meet has good UI and comfortable experience, it lacks many features that students and teachers feel are important. Hence, our project, Google Meet power-ups comes for the rescue. For this hackathon we added a much requested feature on the google meet support page -
Image Sharing!
What it does
It add the image sharing capabilities to google meet. It is the much requested thing on google meet support forum. User can send the image in the google meet chat just like they can send text messages.
Challenges I ran into
Getting the elements of google meet page was the difficult thing as google is not giving static ids or classnames to elements. we studied Xpaths and tried lot of different ways to get the DOM elements in our javascript code.
Getting updates for every new message that arrives. We had no clue how it can be done. We searched github, stackoverflow and blogs to get the idea about getting notification for every new meet message, but there were no such thing available. After digging much into the docs, we found MutationObserver and used that for this. We are proud that we are probably the first one to make it happen.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are able to get the incoming messages in realtime asynchronously using MutationObserver. We learned that th
ing by reading about it from the docs. There are very few resources available for that. We are happy that we learned this concept and implemented it in our application.
We learned about adding the paste event and listening for it on input box of meet. We learned event propagation for that.

10,468 | https://devpost.com/software/android-attendence-app | Inspiration : firstly , i like to learn many new things . and i like to study mobile computing with android. and the normal attendance method is slow so i thought to making online android system which is easy to use and can run on any android devices. and most of schools can't able to use that because its paid, run on another server and also difficult to use it.
What it does : this app can manage student attendance daily wise. in this app a admin is there which can add faculty and student course wise. there is a login page for faculty where teacher and update, edit student attendance.
How I built it : i built this app by using android studio software. in which we use java code to implement the project . and making layout in software also.
Challenges I ran into : me and my team got in many challenges like first we all member of group getting fix to source code which is really very hard. gradle setup and running, taking much time to draw/make layouts , and the hardest challenge is to run the project. first we setup AVD DEVICES, API downloading virtual device and run onto it it take so much time .
,
Accomplishments that I'm proud of : that we able to complete this project from the given time, managing team member and their work , and without know that much use of android studio we able to complete it.
What I learned: I learned to built the android app, importance of team and team work, a good control on java language .
What's next for Android-Attendance-App: In future we can use firebase or my sql so they san record it as offline also, we can add student page where student can login and check his/her attendance, we can add student marks exam report which can be very useful in future.

10,468 | https://devpost.com/software/i-sight | Inspiration
Looking at how people treat each other, let aside the ones who really need help, humanity feels nothing more of a global scarcity. With the progressing technology there should be applications which help the people who really are in need and it would be better for people to atleast have technology which they can trust rather than being at nature's mercy. So we thought of building an application which would act as an in-person navigator and along with navigation also give out every detail a visually impaired person needs to know about his/her surrounding, keeping them safe.
What it does
With our project I-Sight, we intend give these people with a disturbed vision a
trustworthy and reliable source to depend on when they walk out any place
which makes them feel endangered due to their disabilities. This application is in
itself a personal guide who’d rather hold one’s hand and walk them to wherever it
is they want to go. This application would act as one’s vision as well as a navigator
on the streets which would be far better than any human eyes could calculate or
predict. All this application requires is an android device with a camera.
Features:
COMPLETE NAVIGATION:
The user can use voice commands on the application and speak out the desired
location they want to reach, the application will then set a course from the users'
current location to the desired location and guide the user through the path
making use of various other features in the application.
OBJECT DETECTION/RECOGNITION:
While moving the user has to keep the phone in his hands with the camera facing
in front, this application is running on an DL model which will detect and
recognize all the objects, moving and at rest, in the line of sight of the camera and
inform the user of all the objects which are present on his/her path.
DISTANCE ESTIMATION:
This application will not only detect the objects in the vicinity but also estimate
the distance between them and the user and convert it into the number of steps
the user would require to get to any object present around the user.
INTERMODAL ROUTING:
Along with guiding the user through the pedestrian route our app also has a feature
of public transport guidance. If the path of the user is long the application automatically
guides the user to the nearest public transport waypoint to help the user reach their
destination, which also includes multiple changes in the transport journey if required.
Some of these public transport waypoints include city rail stations ,metro stations, bus stations etc.
TIME TO COLLISION ALERT:
This application also provides a feature of alerting the user in order to prevent
any sorts of accidents or mishaps on the path of the user. This feature calculates
the time and the distance between the user and any obstruction or vehicle in it’s
on going path and alerts the user accordingly.
How we built it
I-Sight is built using the power of Deep Learning models for object detection. It heavily relies on Tensorflow lite Mobile Net v1 model for fast, low latency and performant model and HERE SDK for the features of in-time navigation, Geolocation and the intermodal routing. For Voice Interaction it uses Android's Text To Speech API.
Challenges we ran into
The implementation of tensorflow lite model in android as well as the implementation of HERE SDK required a bit of research. The merged output of both technologies was specifically challenging to achieve.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of being able to put together two such robust technologies in HERE SDK and Tensorflow and making them work together effortlessly. Along with that, we are also proud of providing our contribution to the society by helping visually disabled people to find there own way making them independent of others.
What I learned
We learned to implement light weight mobile nets and usage of tensorflow lite models. We also learned about the amazing HERE SDK which provides various robust features for geocoding, routing and LIVE Sense.
What's next for I-Sight
Another enhancement would be an addition of AI danger heuristic for safer travel.

Inspiration
Only last year over 3 Mha were lost in Asia due to deforestation for agricultural purposes. In Africa is even more sensitive because many endangered species of animals lost their habitats and have to be put in shelters. But the problem is that the population need a source of food and it seems like a big compromise regarding environmental ethics.
Some papers were published which describe the way multilevel greenhouses would work. They would save a lot of space and help with the plantation separation. There are some plantations of this kind in Asia, but they don't meet the expectation regarding production. A way in which the production needs might be meet would be to create a sustainable, autonomous system to maintain the plants from the greenhouse. It is more efficient than human work.
What it does
The project is in the idea state, by presenting a simulation and an administration platform in order to perform supervision of the plantations the farmers own.
The EnyYard is a simulation of a system which provides the services for optimal plantation maintenance. The greenhouse would have the following features:
Solar Cells to provide power for the system. There is a panel to provide the power level. In the simulation we found out that the construction provides enough power during the day. In order to provide enough energy for the system, we considered introducing hydropower.
IoT devices for maintenance of the plantations: sprinklers, servo, humidifiers, etc. 3.
Cameras to inspect the fields in real-time, using an Vision API in order to detect the health of the plants and for the AR view.
We also provide a platform for statistics and predictions for the farmers to see their plantations' status.
How we built it
For the hardware mock-up we used Packet Tracer with the IoT Suite which it provides. We managed to add conditions for maintenance, which are checked in real-time. The hosting is on a public VM from Azure.
The dashboard is created in Power BI. Unfortunately, it is available only on Desktop, because the university account we used doesn't allow web public deployment. The dashboard is connected to an SQL Database from Azure.
The Vision AI and predictions services are available to be loaded on the IoT devices, like
https://azure.github.io/Vision-AI-DevKit-Pages/
, and are uploaded in the repo.
Challenges we ran into
First of all, the fact that we couldn't deploy the dashboard on web was a bummer. Second of all, the simulator from Packet Tracer was limited regarding the number of devices connected in order to not overload the network (the Packet Tracer simulator is more visual and that was the reason why we choose it).
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The fact that we accomplished to create a functional hardware mock-up is a good thing, because we tried to highlight the idea more than the service and the performance part. Also, we think we will use Power BI in the future for the MVP.
What we learned
We learned how to work with the Azure portal better than before: VM networking, Visual Development Kit fit IoT and Power BI. Also, we took a next step in learning about Packet Tracer and how the simulators work.
What's next for EnvYard2.0
The previous iteration the former team accomplished to create the AR view for the greenhouse, available here
https://devpost.com/software/envyard
.
This second project confirmed what services and technologies to use in order to continue the project.
In the following months, we intent to build a prototype of the greenhouse and present it to other event. If it proves to be a good invention (which we personally hope it is), we would apply for grants in order to build a full size greenhouse to grow a vineyard plantation in our home country. In time, we hope to extend to other plantation kinds and to implement the system in the places where are needed (Africa especially).

Know more about the Disease
Vitals Input Form
Analysis and Result
Nearby Doctors
Inspiration
One of the biggest inspirations for this project was the entire scenario revolving around getting
health check-ups
and
reports
. Nowadays, it has become increasingly difficult and expensive to get regular and accurate checkups. We wanted a product that would generate medical reports based on minimal requirements and most of all, would be free of cost for the users.
What it does
With our product users can check the
probability
of having a rather life-threatening disease by just
checking their vitals at home
. Our
AI-curated model
carefully analyzes user fed data and gives a probable prediction of the severity of the ailment. We generate a tailored report for the users based upon vitals that can easily be measured in the comfort of their homes. The simple parameters that we consider are your, age, gender, height, weight, body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure.
This way we let the user know if he/she really needs to rush to the hospital or is just under the weather. Our model gives the user a probable score of having diseases which combined with their symptoms can help them make the decision of going to hospitals in these tough times. To help with the decision making we also provide
thorough information about the disease
for user satisfaction. An exhaustive list of symptoms to cross-check your situation. We believe in providing the smoothest User Experience as our target audience varies from the curious kid to the most elderly. Hence, our web app follows a
simple UI
and
easy to navigate UX
.
How we built it
We used the data set from the clinical data from MIMIC-II. In this data set, we predict the probability of having serious life-threatening diseases on the basis of vitals such as height, weight, bp, heart rate, and body temperature. Since the data set was tricky to handle with a lot of missing data as well as different formats we used advanced featured engineering to train it upon a support vector machine classification algorithm. Then we use the confidence score for predicting the probability of having a certain disease. For feature engineering, we use Numpy and Pandas, and for the model training, we used Scikit learn. We made our own API using a flask to make these predictions. For disease information and extensive symptoms recall, we use used APIMEDIC's API. For nearby doctor search, we used BetterDoctor's API and used it alongside google maps. Now coming to the front end, we linked the above-mentioned APIs in our web interface. We made a simple and easy to understand UI to take input from the user about his or her vitals and then output the predictions. We made sure the UI/UX is very neat understandable for easy understanding for a vast range of users. We have also added a light/dark toggle :)
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Support Vector Regression based prediction for the probability of disease
Average Accuracy: 88.40 % on MIMIC-II dataset
Making accurate prediction through minimal vitals using advance
Feature engineering
Creating our own API with this custom model
Attractive dashboard display
Easy to navigate user experience
Data fed anonymously to maintain the privacy of medical-related information

Inspiration
All of us have had many experiences with dealing with webpages, articles, and terms of service agreements that are really difficult to parse and understand. Because of this, we've decided to create Sumex, short for summary extension, to make so we never have to read one of those monstrously long documents ever again and to take the time that we would have spent trying to understand them back for ourselves!
Who is this for?
-People who have visual disabilities (for example requiring screen readers or lower text density)
-Anyone who’s having trouble reading through massive Terms of Service documents
-Anyone who wants short summaries of large bills or legislation
-Lazy people who don’t want to spend ages reading articles :)
What it does
-We've created a Chrome extension that allows you to add a page summary to the top of any webpage. You can click on the icon of the extension and hit the button that appears, or summarize just a part of the text by highlighting it and right clicking it and choosing the summarize button.
-This is done using proven Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and nltk to summarize text down from its original size to a maximum of log(number of sentences in original document) sentence long summary. We've added implementations of the luhn, textrank, and LSA text summarization algorithms.
-The whole backend is controlled by an Azure Cloud Function that takes in the webpage's contents whenever the extension is used and processes and returns the summary.
How we built it
-Built as an add-on for Chromium-based browsers using JavaScript
-Python-based Azure Cloud Functions to host an API for our add-on to summarize text
-We created an implementation of TextRank, which uses a similarity matrix to find similar sentences from which to create summaries, as repeated content is more likely to be important or related to the article's topic. However, our implementation ended up being noticeably slow, reducing usability.
-So, we looked into Luhn, LSA, and a more efficient implementation of TextRank. Exploring ML-adjacent technology was all new for us, but we found considerable speed increases by looking into these popular NLP approaches. We allow the selection of different models by changing the Azure Function-based API we call. By default, we use the smarter approach to TextRank.
Challenges we ran into
-Having to use vanilla Javascript was really difficult for those of us used to frameworks like Node and React
-We dealt with a lot of issues with text still having HTML tags and not being UTF-8 encoded, leading to buggy summaries
-Choosing the best NLP models for text summarization from the ones that sumy and nltk offer
-Both of Alan’s computers are broken :((((((
Accomplishments that we're proud of
-The NLP text summarization is working really well. It has a decent success rate and seems to work on the sites we tested it on
-App is fully functional and could be polished and deployed in a matter of days
-UI is clean, simple, and effective
What we learned
-Just how much filler there is in a lot of articles! And how hideously long bills and terms of service can be
-How to make a Chromium web-browser add-on
-How to use vanilla Javascript more effectively
-The power and utiltiy of Azure Cloud Functions
What's next for Sumex
-Tweak and tune NLP even further for better results. We can do this by taking into account the context/topic of the website (abstractive) rather than our current extractive approaches.
-Port to Firefox and Opera
-Further user customization
-Better custom handling for popular sites
-Better filtering of erroneous text

10,468 | https://devpost.com/software/smart-attendance-management-system | Inspiration- Looking at the challenges arose due to covid-19 pandemic, the fingerprint based attendance system was not successful. This led to development of contact-free attendance management system with temperature monitoring.
What it does- As soon as the application is launched, there appears two buttons.
(i) Register- The user has to enter his name, employee Id, and a recent photograph(the name of the photo should be same as employee id). After submitting, a message appears of "details added successfully".
(ii) Detect Face- On clicking this button, the camera turns on and the face is detected after which, the user has to place his hand in front of the sensor for 5 seconds. After this, the message appears that the attendance is marked. But if the temperature is greater than 100, the user is suggested to go home and take rest.
How we built it- It comprises of frontend system developed with bootstrap, A backend with Arduino and python and connecting frontend with backend using electron.js.
Challenges we ran into - The connection of hardware with the software was one of the major challenge we faced while working on this project.
Accomplishments that we're proud of- We are proud that after continuous hard work and dedication, we were able to complete this project and overcome all the challenges we faced.
What we learned- All of the above firstly we learned how work in a team of different ideology. But apart, we learnt about various functions of arduino and various sensors compatible. We also learnt to use electron.js which is very easy and helpful.
What's next for Smart Attendance Management System- We are planning to add voice based notifications for disabled which will also increase its effeciency.

It is especially hard for international teams to collaborate as multiple timezones are involved, and existing tools are not ideal or lack certain features.
In light of this, we are building a plugin that detects users' timezones by location and converts other detect timezones in chat or web page to users' timezone, plus a meeting scheduler to help users to find the best time to meet.
What it does
Features:
Login/ register
Detect user's timezone by location
Convert all timezones detected on a webpage
Simple scheduler to find out overlapping time periods for meeting
How we built it
We used Figma to design the UI of the plugin, firebase for backend and html, css and javascript for front-end.
Challenges we ran into
We don't have experience in building a plugin and spent a considerable amount of time reading documentation and watching tutorial videos.
Accomplishments that we're proud of

This creative prompt allowed us to look outside of the box when finding a solution. We realized that all of us were fascinated by the development of the Roman Empire. We were intrigued by how well it was able to grow, and wondered what would happen if it continued to do so. After researching, we found that the empire slowly died because they were unable to effectively govern all parts of the empire, causing it to grow thin because of its sheer size. As a result, we created this application using present day technologies, which we believe, could have helped Roman generals immensely during the process.
What it does
The website is connected to motion sensor cameras that can detect incoming individuals and their logos. These logos will then be cross-referenced with the pre-existing database of logos indicating whether the logo is associated with an ally or enemy. If it is associated with an enemy or if the logo isn’t registered, then local troops will be alerted. The website will also include statistics on how many weapons there are in barracks. It will also include information on empire borders so villagers know what areas are safe within borders.
How We built it
The webapp was designed in Angular, using the Node javascript extension. Multiple APIs, such as the Google Maps API were implemented. The biggest challenges while designing were getting a user login system, getting an interactive map, and linking to 3d models. To build the 3d models, the echoAR API was used. From here, live models were linked as buttons on the webapp. As for actual course information, research had to be conducted into fire safety, lab safety, tornado safety, and more. It did help that all of us are currently students, since we already know most of the safety procedures. Ultimately, the development of the webapp relied on Angular and countless APIs for the amazing features we have implemented.
Challenges We ran into
Throughout the process, we had a difficult time trying to identify the most effective implementation of the camera AI system. It was difficult to get the API to allow this to work on the website itself, which used the webcams for feed information.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We are proud of the fact that we made an app that perfectly aligns with what the Romans needed. The Romans fell apart because the empire was too large to maintain. With this app, they could’ve easily had a handle on many various aspects of the empire and make sure troops were ready to fight. They could also send weapons to locations that are lacking those unnecessary resources.
What We learned
Throughout this hackathon experience, we were able to learn about cool tools and technologies to help support this application with all of its features. We learned how to effectively pitch an idea, by incorporating personal experiences and detailed flowcharts to explain our thinking. On the technical side, we explored the possibilities of AR, surprised by the intuitive and effective echoAR tool, which enabled us to better support the courses. Finally, the execution of the webapp was a super cool learning process. We learned how to incorporate a Google Maps API into our webapp to allow for user interaction on our case map.
What's next for Saepio
We’ve seen how influential a product like Saepio For the Roman Empire. In times where land dominance means power, the Romans would have benefited immensely from this application. But if you look into it, this technology can also be implemented in the modern world to help improve our lives too! For example, this same AI algorithm can be used for homeowners with cameras on their front door, which can scan symbols on packages for categorization. The AR of the inventory can also be applied to personal home collections of coins or weapons. Finally, it can be used by property owners to manage their property

Missile Logs
Connect dashboard
Inspiration
“Old men make war, young men fight and die.” - Winston Churchill.
WW2 was one of the most brutal wars in human history. It left most of Europe in ruins and caused millions of civilian and military casualties. During this time, especially from 1939 to 1942, big cities in the UK, France and some other dominant powers in Europe suffered major bombings and missile attacks. Thousands of innocent people died because they couldn't predict what places are likely to be targeted and they had no clue what the hotspots were.
In addiction to this, society was very separated and disconnected during this period. People couldn't contact their loved ones or let them know they were safe and what location they were at. This situation inspired my team to create a utility that would have solved these problems, had it been available then.
What it does
InfoBase allows users to log missile attacks when they happen on a live map, entering the location and estimated time of the strike. InfoBase also uses statistics and averages within given radii and time ranges to predict when and where the next strike could be. It presents missile hotspots to the user on the live map so it helps them know what locations are heavily hit. This helps the issue of uncertainty in a war fueled environment and could help users avoid strikes. Further more, the web app has in built chat functions and a dashboard for the user to view their local time, current location, and status of their relatives.
How InfoBase helps soldiers and civilians during war
The InfoBase live map helps both and civilians and soldiers to see missile hotspots and see estimated times and locations of bomb attacks. This would help them to avoid hot spots and keep safe. In addition to this we have included chat functions for users to use for communicating, a dashboard to display important information (including a live map) and a missile log function that allows users input and report strikes.
Challenges Faced
We faced challenges with making live functional maps with the google maps API.
We encountered several bugs in our Mongo Database when we tried to store user and missile data.
We had issues with the styling for the site to make it both presentable and easy to use.
There were a lot of issues with user authentication and also creating routes for each of the web pages.
It was very challenging to build an API for our web app and fetch data from it effectively.
Accomplishments that we are proud of
We proud that we were able to work as a team to style an easy to use UI and build a functional backend in such a short period of time.
We are proud that we were able to build an API using nodeJs since this was our first time using this runtime and method.
We are proud that we could find solutions to problems that people faced decades ago and build features that would have effectively aided these people.
What we learned
We learned how to use MongoDB and nodeJs to create server side technology. We also learned how to store and process data that is input on a live map. We learned how to use sucket.io to make live chat functions and how to use API call functions in our HTML scripts
In the process of making this web app, we had to research and learn more about WW2 and what both civilian and military personal went through, this helped us understand things from their point of view and made us better equipped to make this product.
How to view/access our product

Known Issues
Currently, the chat and map functions do not work properly on the Heroku deployment, although they work perfectly on the local environment. This is due to Heroku blocking external scripts from running and we are currently using a remote script of google maps. This is not an extremely difficult issue to fix, but due to the time constraints of the hackathon, we were not able to resolve it before the deadline.

Inspiration
So many people died because of the Great Galveston Storm.
People knew there was a storm coming, but little did they know that it was coming for them. At those times, people in cities weren’t informed anything. If they were, then maybe some lives would be saved.
What it does
Our app gives you an alert of every natural disaster from heat waves, to earthquakes.
All you need to do is select your state and then it will give you all the disasters coming up. You can also click on disasters to view more about them.
How We built it
We first built a mock-up using Adobe XD. Then later we used Xcode and Swift to create the application. We used API’s to get information about the disasters and location of them.
The API we ended up using was made by the US government which gives it the best precision out of all the APIs.
Challenges I ran into
Our API made us run into many big problems including it not even functioning to work but we were able to solve that.
After that we were almost done with the app but then some problems arised with GitHub and that brought us into another set of problems.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We are overall very proud of our app.
We know that this could have saved people in the past and that makes us very proud.
We are also proud of making it in a short time.
What we learned
As this was 2 of our teammates
first time using an API
, we all learned how to implement them into an app. This is also 2 of our members first hackathon so we also learned what a hackathon is.
What's next for HEFT
We will continue moving on with this app so in the future people can use it and we can actually save lives
, which was the purpose of this app.

Theme: App that could help people in the past
Inspiration
Over 40,000,000 innocent civilians died in WW2. In most cases this is because lack of fast communication for warnings, or an easy way to report any suspicious sightings. There is no way to know beforehand what place they should avoid. If there is a way to report and view warnings quickly, we can save so many lives.
What it does
Spotdier allows civilian to view warnings and reports from government officials, or even from other users. This information is displayed with detail, such as location, estimate numbers, etc. So people will go out or avoid that area. This could also help troops prepare as well, and evacuating as many people as possible. Users can also send in their own reports. Their report score could be viewed through the user information, and there might be a reward in place.
How we built it
Spotdier was built with many different key components. It was built with Firebase authentications for the protection of the user's password, Firestore cloud storage to store the location of the reports, Android Studio to make the actual app, and Kotlin and XML to code the frontend and backend. We split the work up among us so that everyone was able to contribute.
Challenges we ran into
There were many challenges that we ran into but each one was an opportunity for us to learn. One example of our challneges was sorting the reports in reverse order and displaying it on the page so that the user can scroll through all of the reports. This posed an issue since if we sorted by date then all of the reports on the same date would not be sorted. And then if we sorted by the time that it was reported then all of the date sorting is messed up. To fix this issue we changed the way that we were storing the times in our server.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
One accomplishment that we are proud of is being able to actually use a cloud storage server and not have the data stored locally on the phone. This was an important part of this application since people from all over the city need to be able to see the reports. Along with cloud storage we were able to use Firebase authentication. This was a great way to securely store the passwords for users so people cannot access other's accounts.
What we learned
Through this hackathon we learned so much. We learned how to store data in a cloud server and use its authentication tools. We also were able to store multiple collections in Firestore to further organize our data. It was also one of our team members first time making an app and they learned so much.
What's next for SpotDier
Like any app there is room for updates in Spotdier. To make Spotdier even better we are planning to create filters to easily sort through the reports on the reports page. Another addition that we are planning to do is showing the location of the report on a map when the user clicks on it from the reports page. This would be made using the Google Maps API.

We were inspired by the Vietnam War and the protests that were going on in America during the Vietnam War.
What it does
Our website has advice about ways to show your opposition to the war: avoiding the draft and hosting a protest; it also highlights the injustices U.S. soldiers face in Vietnam through virtual demonstrations of the deathly traps; and a useful draft calculator, which estimates how likely you are to be chosen to fight in the war. We also created an app aimed towards helped U.S. soldiers in Vietnam.
How we built it
We used HTML and CSS to make the website, JavaScript to make the tabs, blender to make the 3D models, echoAR to broadcast the 3D models and upload them to our website, App Inventor 2 to make our app, and Scratch to make the Draft Calculator
Challenges we ran into
Some of the problems we ran into was using echoAR. Some of the texture wasn't uploading so we had use alternate solutions to make sure the uploads work.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This was our first time using many of the programming languages used. We're proud of developing a functional website and app with barely any background knowledge on how to program with HTML and CSS, how to make 3D object in blender, and how to program an app.
What we learned
As we talked about above, we learned a lot of HTML, CSS, Blender, and App-Inventor 2. It was an awesome experience getting to code with each other!

10,471 | https://devpost.com/software/manilatown-i-hotel-website | Originally, we thought of many ideas that we could use such as China’s Cultural Revolution, the Civil Rights Movement, Stonewall, and the Zoot Suit Riots. In the end, we landed on the Manilatown/International Hotel protests. We decided to do this because this topic interested us the most and we wanted to learn more. One very important reason we decided to do this was that it took place in California, our home state. We also knew the most about this topic before researching. The history of Manilatown and the I-Hotel is extremely interesting and this is what drew us in and led us to do this fun project.
As mentioned in the elevator pitch, our website is supposed to assist people wanting to participate in the Manilatown protests of 1977. The website follows this by providing an information page, a history page, two template pages for phone and letter, and a contact us page. The home page acts as a “guide” to each page. The information page contains information regarding the protests and who to contact. The history page provides information regarding the history of Manilatown and the I-Hotel. The template pages serve as a guide for people wanting to write/call their representatives. Lastly, the contact us page provides multiple methods to contact us.
We built this by starting to use Figma (linked below) to design a prototype of our project. Afterward, we used videos to help guide us as we coded it on repl.it. We used HTML and CSS to code it.
The challenges that we ran into were not knowing parts of the code needed for the project. So we had to spend most of our time watching videos to learn on the way.
We're most proud of being able to complete a website from total scratch and learning a lot along the way. We came into this hackathon barely knowing HTML and CSS, but we came out with a useable website. As Gabrielle, I'm personally most proud of the fact that we were able to finish everything we wanted to in the time we had. We had a goal and we followed through with it. Though we could obviously add more, we were able to complete everything we wanted to in the time we had, and that's enough for me at least.
We learned how to better improve our HTML and CSS skills. We also improved our collaboration skills through many meetings and talking through our gameplan every day.

During the 2007-2009 economic crisis, many small businesses weren't able to produce a profit. With people being conscious of what they were buying and living frugally, small businesses could not stay afloat.
People also couldn't find deals on items without spending lots of time and effort.
Another big inspiration for us was the state of unemployment at that time. It shocked us that in the United States, 1 out of 10 people did not have a job.
The last big inspiration for us was that people who wanted to volunteer to help those in need had no easy way to do so.
When we starting thinking of ideas for this hackathon, we wanted to find a way to get small businesses to be able to sell their products and the unemployed to be able to have a means of making money again.
Eco-$park addresses and solves all these problems during the 2007-2009 recession.
What it does
Eco-$park allows local small businesses to list products they create and also easily hire people for jobs such as the delivery of their products to the consumer. The unemployed (or even volunteers) can list their hours of work. Then, small businesses can look and select who they would like to higher for a certain job.
How we built it
We built the project using a Python web framework model called Flask. We used Python as our backend language, with HTML, CSS, and Javascript on the frontend. We used MongoDB to securely save all our data.
We used Bootstrap styles and its grid system in order to ensure our site was mobile-friendly. Heroku was used to host our app.
Our development server was a Raspberry
Pi
.
Challenges we ran into
The main challenge we ran into was organizing our code, due to this project being so big with lots of functionality, it also had LOTS of code in it- with a big file, it was hard to find bits of code and overall be able to map the flow of the application and we saw this problem the most when we joined all the parts of the code together. We got through this though by reorganizing the code so we could understand it better and fix the errors.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Having a working user login/signup and email verification system
The small business being able to upload listings of their products and customize it by adding images and descriptions of their products so they make it appeal to the customers
People being able to upload and edit job availability effortlessly
Small businesses being able to hire easily and safely because they are provided a background check certificate of the person they are hiring
The ability for volunteers and students in need of volunteer hours to serve and help the community
An easy to use, the user interface for searching and purchasing items
What we learned
We learned the importance of refactoring code, as well as the value of a good team and staying positive.
What's next for Eco$park
We plan to make our product work for multiple different geographical areas.

We were inspired to create our Aid App because we knew that during the Great Depression, unemployment and lack of support and resources, or just general misunderstanding of helpful government programs, etc. were some of the biggest problems. Our app simply aims to solve some of those problems.
What it does
Our website was made to help individuals during the Great Depression. The app we made helps people during the Great Depression (and possibly other difficult time periods) in different ways. Probably the most important feature that our site was designed for is job searching. Employers can create jobs easily that prospective employees can quickly find and apply to. This is far from the most original functionality we could have implemented, but would have been revolutionary during the Great Depression. We made sure to implement it in a way that would be most helpful for people during the Great Depression.
Our app provides other functionality as well. For example, with a single click, people can find nearby employment agencies, soup kitchens, and shelters that are shown on a map and as a list view. This way, people can find help as quickly as possible. Our app also provides detailed information on helpful programs, such as the Alphabet Agencies which were created by the government as part of the New Deal to combat the depression.
How we built it
We built our app using a basic structure that separates the frontend (client) from backend (server). Our backend is a Python Flask API with a SQLite database that stores app data, returns job listings, implements basic JWT authentication, and more. This API is consumed by our front end, which we built using Vue.js and the Nuxt.js JavaScript framework. All styling was created using custom CSS and the Tailwind utility framework. We used Leaflet.js for the javascript maps.
Challenges we ran into
The biggest challenge that our team ran into was in trying to coordinate all of our coding efforts together. For instance, oftentimes, what worked on one person’s computer would not work on another’s computer. Perhaps the best example of this was trying to implement CORS into our app so that our API calls would work. In that instance, what had worked on Jason’s computer did not work at all on Benjamin or Brian’s computer. However, using communication tools such as Discord, our team was able to debug our app.
Accomplishments that we’re proud of
We’re proud that we were able to figure out the CORS issues with our API and enable clean and efficient communication between our frontend and backend. We’re also glad that we were able to implement JWT authentication so quickly into our app. Finally, we learned a lot about collaborating as a team and had fun while doing so!
What we learned
Through doing this project, we were able to learn more about how to create and organize webapps. Specifically, I learned how to create an app by composing it as a frontend single page application and a backend that only handles API calls. Additionally, we learned how to authenticate communication between the frontend and the backend through JWT tokens, which are much simpler than using other methods of authentication. Ultimately, as a team, we were each able to benefit from each other’s strong points to improve our own knowledge of web development.
What's next for Aid App
For our Aid App, the next logical steps would be to implement features that our group was not able to do due to the time constraints of the hackathon. For instance, a feature that would have been suitable for our project would have been a way for Americans in the Great Depression to more easily bargain with other people through our app, using a simple trading feature. This would have been helpful as most people had barely any money and trading was often easier. Another feature we had planned to implement was the ability for users to mark locations on a map for other people to see, with useful information such as the best places for free handouts, the best soup kitchens, the best places to look for jobs, places to stay away from, and more.
And finally, we would create a mobile app through native Javascript frameworks such as Vue Native, which would make it easier to use on mobile (although our app already
does
already work on mobile, through the browser!).

Natural disasters are devastating and lead to the displacement of thousands of people. One of the biggest challenges during these times is streamlining the communication between people to help make the search process a lot more effective and efficient. We particularly found inspiration from Hurricane Katrina which resulted in 1500 missing people at the time, and of that, 705 people are still missing to this day. This is why we created Community Connect, which aims to create a community-driven platform that helps locate missing people during natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina which could have drastically improved the process.
What it does
It allows users to upload reports of missing people. The report includes geolocation, image and description. If a member of the community has seen the person they can proceed to respond to the report.
Challenges
It was difficult to connect the backend database to place markers on to the Google Map.
Accomplishments
We are proud of the new collaboration skills that allowed us to finish the project efficiently.
What I learned
We learned how to work with backend technologies and the Google Map API for the first time. We also continued to improve our application of HTML, CSS and php.
What’s next
We want to develop a mobile application to make the process even more convenient and efficient.

Creating a New Argument Page
Inspiration
For ByteHacks’ theme, we had to come up with an app that solved a problem during a historical event. Our team’s chosen historical event is the 1898 Canadian prohibition plebiscite. This was the first nationwide referendum in Canadian history. This was a divisive topic and the vote in favour of the proposed legislation won by a slight margin, but ultimately, the Canadian government decided not to implement it due to only 44% voter turnout.
We wanted to make an app that would have had the potential to increase voter turnout, as well as eliminate more barriers that stand in the way of votes such as voter suppression tactics, and reduce the time and cost that goes into a referendum.
What it does
BetterVOTE is a mobile app for both Android and iOS that helps with conducting votes, referendums and plebiscites. It reduces the costs of conducting votes and referendums by presenting an option to vote online and decreases the use of certain vote suppression and intimidation tactics. It also makes it much easier for any organization (both political and apolitical) to operate democratically to make decisions. When a person first enters the app, they can register a new user profile through the registration page. Users are then automatically logged in and sent to the organization's page. Each organization is a separate entity with users and ballots. A logged-in user can enter an organization by entering its unique code on the organization's page or creating a new organization from the plus button menu.
Clicking on an organization will lead you to its individual page where you can see information at the top including your representative, user count, invite code and the date created. The second section is the active ballots where all the votes that are currently ongoing are displayed in their own card. These active ballots include both voted and unvoted ballots. Below that are two buttons labelled “Add New Ballot” and “View All Ballots”. “Add New Ballot” can be used to create a ballot with a name, description, percent to pass and ending date. “View All Ballots” will show all ballots that have expired. The final section shows a list of users in the organization.
Clicking on a ballot in “Active Ballots” or in “View Completed Ballots” will take you to its respective page. There you can view the purpose of the ballot, the status (voted or not), description, who proposed it, arguments for supporting it, arguments for not supporting it, the vote threshold percentage to pass, the voter turnout so far and the end date. Below all of this is a button called “Add New Argument” which can be used to add an argument for or against the current motion if it is active. Finally, a button “Vote!” will be at the bottom if you haven’t voted in an active ballot.
The “Vote!” button leads you to a page to either vote for, against or abstain from the current ballot. Successfully voting will lead you back to the organization’s page and an alert will pop up to confirm that your vote was submitted. Completed ballots will display all of the previous information (title, description, arguments) for historical accuracy, show if it passed or failed and the finalized vote percentages.
Other features include a profile page button on the list of organizations which leads to a user’s profile. There, they can view their name, email, their list of organizations. There is also a section for more information, including the terms of service and a logout button.
How we built it
We built our product using MongoDB, React Native, Express and Node. We chose React Native for the front end because it allows for cross-platform support on both iOS and Android with the same code. The backend was built using Express and Node because our team had prior experience with these technologies. We used MongoDB for our database structure because we felt that a document-oriented NoSQL database best fit our needs. For the backend, we also used a JWT token for authorization and bcrypt password hashing for industry-standard password security.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into multiple challenges over the four days as we built our app as this was the first time any of us had used React Native. The notable ones include drawer components, React lifecycle hooks (figuring out how to update and re-render components when the database is updated), making GET and POST requests with the JWT token and styling. Styling was especially challenging and we had to style multiple components that interacted with each other. We also were unable to use a date and time picker component when creating a ballot as it didn’t display properly and we were unable to get the time the user had chosen. Instead, we opted to just use a single text field where the user would enter the end date and time of the ballot in JavaScript ISO format (UTC Time).
Accomplishments that we're proud of
There are many accomplishments that we are proud of. Some of these include building an app from scratch for the first time that is efficient, reusable and has a scalable design. On the backend side, we are most proud of the complex logic that involves multiple users, organizations and ballots. On the front end, we’re proud of the array of features we can offer the user including making new organizations, joining existing organizations, making new ballots, voting and viewing past ballots. Other cool features also include multiple user registration and using AsyncStorage to authorize users and remember them.
What we learned
In short, a lot. Some of the things we learned include: React Native, building and utilizing a REST API, using GitHub/version control more effectively, user authentication (and JWT tokens), Formik and Yup for form input verification, AsyncStorage, designing efficient and effective MongoDB schema and MomentJS.
What's next for ByteHacks
We had a few more features we wanted to add but unfortunately had to cut due to time restraints. We wanted to add functionality to support running elections to decide a new leader for an organization, with support for a variety of voting systems so that organizations can decide what fits best. Since many of these systems are lesser-known, especially to those who have only ever known FPTP (first past the post), we also wanted to create informational content about democracies & voting methods in general. We wanted to improve the security of our app through adding captchas on registration/login, rate limits and potentially implement some form of zero-access encryption (at the moment, only passwords are encrypted in the database) to meet the standards of even the most security and privacy-focused governments. Lastly, we wanted to implement app notifications, so that users could be immediately notified of any updates.

Over 5% of people each year die due to depression. This is a major problem and an indirect problem that has started since the past and has not stopped but increased massively. There have been numerous studies however on detecting symptoms and signs of early depression as it is hard to find.
What it does
This webapp uses machine learning to analyze typing and words written and asks other questions to find out if you have the majority of early symptoms of depression or not. There is also a section where a chatbot can answer any questions. It's voice powered too! :)
How I built it

10,471 | https://devpost.com/software/financistor | I've been watching some finance-related shows recently, and seeing how many people suffered financially during the Great Recession really made me wonder how I could help those affected if I was an adult during that time. This was the inspiration behind my financial assisting app.
This app, using user inputed financial information, calculates a daily spending budget for the user to use. Additionally, it displays important financial information in an easy to see fashion, helping the user be more organized with their finances.
I built this app using Ionic with React. It was coded on Visual Studios Code.
The biggest challenge I ran into was trying to figure out how to route between two pages in Ionic React. It took me almost a full day to find out how to do it, but I was eventually successful.
One thing I'm proud of with this project is how nice the UI looks, at least to me. I am very happy with how the layout and the aesthetic of the app turned out, and I am very proud of it.
I learned a lot of things during this hackathon, including how to build a app with Ionic React, how to run a Ionic React app on both an Android phone emulator and a real Apple phone, and how to effectively brainstorm ideas.
I would say that the next step is to work on adding more features to the app, then trying to get it on the App Store.

In school, we learned about how during WW1, many women had to take on jobs that they were not trained for to fill the economic void from most men going to war. While learning about this, all three of us had the same question: how did these women train for these jobs so quickly in a time period of war? Having technology during this period to learn and help others would have been very useful in this process, and therefore we were inspired by this prospect of innovation!
What it does
This app helps women find job opportunities near them and it helps employers train future workers with essential skills through videos. Women are also able to learn new skills so they can be able to work different jobs.5
How I built it
We built the app with Swift using Xcode. We also used Firebase to keep track of our users.
Challenges I ran into
Some challenges we ran into was not being able to work on the classes part of the app because we didn't have enough time. We also weren't sure how to store data since we had two different types of users.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We successfully got the login page to work and also set up Firebase.
What I learned
I learned how to create a search bar and use the data collected to help users find what they need. I also learned how to implement Firebase properly and store data.
What's next for EduCare
We will work on implementing an active donation portal which helps people donate care packages to soldiers in need. We will also help connect a larger audience range to the employers and improve the way we store data in Firebase to emphasize quality and efficiency.

One of our team members was using Google Maps the other day to find a route and realized that route finding is a relatively new technology that would have been absolutely helpful for people back then, especially those who had to walk long ways. One of the first such examples that came to their mind was the Oregon Trail.
What it does
Our app is meant to help travellers moving west during the westward expansion of the United states. Oftentimes travelers would get lost or stuck by taking the wrong path. Our webapp is designed to reduce those kinds of negative and often deadly experiences. The user gives us their destination and then we calculate the best possible route for them to take. We take into account different points of data including: major water sources, elevation changes and weather. There is also functionality for travelers to create markers on the map with important information or to ask for help for others to see.
How we built it
To collect the topography information and water information we used OpenCV (computer vision) on various maps and satellite images; for example, we used KMeans color segmentation to segment the image by color (and therefore elevation). We then used these images to create a matrix of points each with individual relationships and weights to each other. Specifically, we prioritized maintaining a constant, low elevation and moving around bodies of water. These nodes, along with the users start and finish points, are piped into a modified a* (a star) path finding algorithm which weighs all of the information and determines the best possible path. This is then sent back to the user and displayed as a polyline and two markers on the map.
The backend is a python flask app hosted on Heroku. It uses flask HTTP request routes to communicate with the backend. It has sqlite3 and SQLAlchemy database which stores all of the user posts.
The frontend is written with html, javascript, and jquery. It uses the Leaflet.js API for the map.
Challenges we ran into
One challenge was the image processing. It took two days to find and process the correct images needed to map the elevation and water proximity scores into the pathfinding algorithm. The a-star algorithm itself was slow at first as samples became larger in size, but we were able to significantly shorten request times by prioritizing distance to destination more. One other challenge was hosting our backend Python, and it took more than a few hours to set up a Flask app and SQLAlchemy database to deploy on Heroku.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Many of the accomplishments we are proud of include the challenges we faced and were eventually able to solve, such as the image processing and backend deployment. We are also proud of the new things we tried, such as using the SQLAlchemy database and implementing a Leaflet.js map into our website.
What we learned
Not only did we learn new tools and software such as SQLAlchemy and Leaflet.js, but more specifically the new methods and strategies we utilized to solve problems. For example, we learned that it was easier to segment an image by elevation using KMeans color segmentation with OpenCV. We also learned that SQLAlchemy is an easy replacement for Firebase (something we had used in previous projects) for Python, and that Leaflet.js is a great open-source map replacement for Google Maps API (which may not always be free).
What's next for PathFinder
We definitely wish to implement a resources management tab to alert when the traveler is low on resources such as food and water. Expanding upon the SQLAlchemy database, we can also store other user’s locations in case users want to trade with each other or team up on their journey. We are also considering a weather tool that calls a weather API and changes a user’s path in real-time. One other factor to consider is taking note of animals’ natural habitat to help the user avoid potentially dangerous locations.

Inspiration
With the recent USCIS immigration law changes and its effect on many of the Indian immigrants, we started thinking about the immigration process of the past when there were no technological systems. This got us thinking: is there a way to speed up the processing and improve the accuracy? Since the prompt was about a historical event, we did some research and found out that millions of people had to wait on Ellis Island to get their immigration, so much so that 3,500 people died because of diseases! This inspired me and my team to create this project of automating the immigration form process.
What it does
Given the struggles of many of the passengers during the largest migration in history between 1892 through 1954 of more than 65 million immigrants, we were thinking of building an efficient immigrant management system. This system will help keep all the immigrant records centralized in a database for easy search, sorting, and further accessing the records for future use.
How I built it
I used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front-end. I made a form that had text fields, dropdowns, and a submit button. When submitted, the data would be converted into JSON and sent in an HTTP GET request to the MySQL Database. Here it would get stored as a record. Node.Js and Express.Js were used in the back-end or the server-side. It translated the request into an SQL statement with the response.
Challenges I ran into
I had no idea how to use SQL, Node.js, or Express.js before. I also didn't know how the HTML forms worked, with the GET and POST requests. Because of this hackathon, I got a crash course in those languages and frameworks. It was difficult and tough, but I persevered.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I'm proud of what I did in this project because I learned something completely new and created something with that newfound knowledge. I am really happy with the way it turned out, and although improvements could be made, it is a good start. We also came together as a team and learned how to work together.
What I learned
I learned the structure of forms, server-side JavaScript, Node.js, Node's Express.js framework, and SQL.
What's next for Ellis Island Immigration Automation
I would want to add more use cases such as Date of Entry, relations to American citizens, and more detailed fields to get more accurate data. I would also want to automate the acceptance process instead of making the officer review the database. A search feature to find the immigrant records and edit them from the front end would also be useful. A better-looking UI front end site, scalable server code, and handling many millions of records would also be very beneficial.

What it does
Our site provides a safer and more efficient way for the people to trade their items for other valuables. It is very user friendly and has a huge variety of different items to purchase.
How I built it

We were inspired by the problem of unemployment during the Great Depression and the beginning of WW2 when creating this project. Our primary goal was to create a website to provide a solution to this issue.
What it does
ModuCon is a web platform that tackles the unemployment problem in 2 ways. First, ModuCon allows small business owners to ask for funding to build products from rifles, crops, and anywhere in between. Second, ModuCon supports unemployed individuals by compiling a list of open jobs on our website for people to conveniently search on.
How I built it
We build ModuCon with HTML, CSS, and Javascript. We used Sublime Text as a text editor and Github for our work to be collaborative.
Challenges I ran into
A challenge we ran into was the logistics of how funders, business owners, and job applicants would communicate through our website. We wanted to make the user experience as convenient as possible, especially regarding the fact that people from the early 1900s would not be as familiar with websites or technology. It was difficult to provide a solution for groups of people to network simplistically, but in the end, we managed to create a process where users are given business addresses. We felt like this familiarity would be most convenient for both parties.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am proud of the clean user interface we were able to build and our impactful mission.
What I learned
During this Hackathon, I strengthened my skills in CSS, learned about Javascript functions, and dived deeper into programming HTML forms.
What's next for ModuCon
If we were to add more features, we would add a location filter in the Jobs and Fund pages, so that users can easily find jobs in their location or factories near them that have available orders.

trojanZERO - Business Card
Inspiration
In technology, a trojan virus is a type of malware that hides in what appears to be a normal file. The term was coined after the story of the hollow wooden horse, which was used by the sneaky Greek soldiers to trick the defenders of Troy into accepting a “gift”. Inspired by this infamous defeat of the City of Troy at the hands of the Greeks, trojanZERO was created with the intent of becoming a security measure that will prevent enemies from infiltrating a city.
Overview
With the usage of thermal technology, trojanZERO uses thermal cameras to detect heat signatures within wagons and other large constructs that pass through the city borders. In the case of a triggered warning detection, the city officials and guards that are added to the administration panel will receive alerts, allowing them to have a chance at taking the necessary actions to save their city.
In addition, trojanZERO provides users with various features to streamline and protect the integrity of a city’s physical security network. With the ability to grant and revoke access to the thermal cameras, city officials are able to keep track of who can view the camera at all times. Advanced analytics, which includes prediction-based detections and statistical models, are also provided to the administrators to assist with decision-making processes.
Frameworks & Languages
The clean UI was designed using the Bootstrap framework, along with its language dependencies of HTML, CSS and sCSS. All backend development was done using Javascript, jQuery and PHP. To store users and other data, Google’s Firebase authentication and database modules were integrated. Rendering all analytics into an aesthetically pleasing, readable format was done using the Chart.js API. The minimalist administration panel is used to access and connect every other feature together, which includes thermal security cameras, user information and analytics. Accessibility, smooth UI, and ease of access were all kept in mind when creating the website. Customers will be able to easily purchase and use the software.
Challenges
Thermal imagery on a website is difficult in this day and age, as several webcams are not equipped with the technology to support thermal imagery. As of right now, the prototype does not come with a physical thermal camera. However, in the scenario where capable cameras are installed, the camera footage and information will be accessed and displayed on the administration panel.
Accomplishments
Designing the beautiful minimalistic user interface - allowing for different users to access/control the features of our service through an administration panel
Integration of Google’s Firebase - keeping data secure using high-grade authentication and database systems
Developing a smooth UX - easy to understand flow for all types of user experiences.
Learning Experiences
While developing trojanZERO, we realized how many of the greatest historical events could have progressed differently with the aid of technology. This experience of solving a past issue has shown how technology is crucial and relied upon in modern society. The distinct topic allowed for an innovative and inventive solution to be created. Every group member also learned more about programming in languages such as Javascript and PHP. Every team member learned how to create a user authentication system and database using Firebase for the first time. Also, a lot of time was spent learning how to design a fluid and accessible UI/X for the customers’ ease of access.
Next Steps
World-wide domination! - but on a real note, the next steps include purchasing thermal cameras that are portable and easy-to-mount in various locations. Once these cameras are purchased, they must be connected and integrated into the administration panel as live feeds. In terms of the business aspect, the company will have to upscale by using services that allow for a plethora of users and data to be hosted, as thermal imaging is not a lightweight feature. Ultimately, it will come down to the dedication and persistence of the team.

Our inspiration was looking at the current situation of the world, we saw protests relating to the Black Lives Matter movement and we thought about how we could help this in the history and Harriet Tubman's impact came to our mind so we went with this idea.
What it does
The basis is a map with buttons on locations on the underground railroads. When you hover over and click a button, it will display info such as which route, informing user of dangers around, quality of the railroad, and info about the geography.
How we built it
We used html to create a map and put buttons on the screen with info and css to customize it, add colors, and smaller features.
Challenges we ran into
Our biggest issues were the map and the buttons, the two main components.
The map size wasn't to how we wished but the harder issue was the buttons wouldn't show the pop up
at all though the code was shown. After debugging only were we able to see how to fix the problem.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Since we are mostly new to this language, the fact that we made a function site was a proud moment. Especially that the buttons worked and were pleasing to the user.
What we learned
We strengthened our coding skills and learned new syntax of languages previously not known. We also strengthened
our graphical knowledge and buttons use. We learned more about the BLM movement and more on Hariet Tubman and the railroads.
What's next for Help for underground railroad usage
We wish to add sounds and more visuals to please the user further and we could add more onto the info to make it even more useful for the abolitionists.

Most people are well aware of the well-known Oskar Schindler and other figures who helped people seeking refuge or safety during the Second World War.
However, these are only the names that were known to the public. Many others kept their identities secret from officials of the opposition and go largely unknown by keeping a low profile.
The Safety Zone draws on this idea to create an accessible platform for people providing aid and those seeking it to have gainful interactions with useful outcomes.
What it does
The Safety Zone is a platform for a team of thousands of volunteers dedicated to helping the lives of those that were affected by the Nazi's by informing them of camps for displaced persons and areas to avoid.
How I built it
Using HTML and CSS based on research carried out into the topic of the project.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Successfully overcame challenges as a result of conflicting stylesheets and debugged such issues to produce a finished page.
What I learned
Improved frontend skills with respect to responsiveness and other features.
What's next for The Safety Zone
As it is a historical project, improvements would not have major impacts. However, we may look at improving it to allow people to contribute information so it may be implemented to aid victims of mass persecution or refugees today.

Inspiration
Our inspiration was the underground railroad. We thought that there must be an easier and safer way for runaways to escape so we made it easy via a website. We thought for a few days about the idea and then we came up with AbolitionCoalition.
What it does
Our website serves to connect sponsors to escapees to make it safer and easier for runaways to escape slavery via the underground railroad. Our website functions by finding a viable route for slaves to escape while providing information to sponsors so that they can meet the needs of these runaways adequately making the exchange between them much smoother.
How we built it
We built our website using HTML, CSS, mysql, php, javascript, and AWS servers. We used HTML, CSS, and javascript for the front-end servers. We used mysql, php, and AWS servers for our back-end.
Challenges we ran into
Some challenges we ran into were thinking about how we were going to verify if the user is an abolitionist and not a slave owner trying to capture a runaway. We figured out that to verify we should use the phrase, “the drinking gourd” because it is a phrase that most black and abolitionists know.
Accomplishments that we are proud of
We are happy that we've linked the back-end to the front-end successfully. As a team, we are also proud of having an aesthetic website that looks professional, and we are proud that we were able to complete this project in such a short span of time.
What we learned
As a team, we’ve learned the importance of good communication, especially given current circumstances. By communicating with each other efficiently, We were able to come up with an amazing idea and successfully bring it to life within such a short span of time mainly because of how well we communicated with each other as a team.
What's next for AbolitionCoalition
The next thing we plan to do is build a mobile app for AbolitionCoalition. This will make it easier to access and a better end product. Also we plan to make our verification more robust and secure so that it is harder for slave owners to use our website.

Inspiration
When brainstorming ideas for this hackathon, we all were thinking of important events that happened in in history. One of us thought of the Gold Rush because it was an event that happened in California, the state our team lives in. We then were thinking about the difficulties people were having during that time. The two main ones were buying goods and staking land. How could we assist those during that time? Slowly we created a plan that turned into this project.
What it does
Goldie Island helps users claim land virtually and also allows them to purchase products from the Shop. Users can also set up a username and password when they first enter the Homepage.
How we built it
Each person in the team worked on a specific part of the website. A lot of research went into the coding. Our team used several sources and videos to help with the coding. Everyone used notepad++ as the text editor. The code in this project involves CSS, HTML, and JavaScript.
Challenges we ran into
One challenge was creating the user accounts without accessing the database.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This was our first web development project for everyone in the whole team, so we were all proud of everything we did really. The website we created is a big accomplishment in itself.
What we learned
This was a very new experience for us. We learned about web development and the code behind it, CSS, JavaScript, and HTML. This is the first time we built a complete project from scratch. This was a very important and fun learning opportunity for everyone in the team.
What's next for ByteHacks 2020 - Goldie Island

10,471 | https://devpost.com/software/unbiased-bail | Inspiration
With the current events going on in the world when we decided to create a project based around racial equality. Everyday on the news we would see a new case of racial injustice with police officers and the judicial system, and we wanted to create an AI project that could help the problem.
When the theme was released we thought of creating an AI project which could decide whether or not a person being charged deserves bail or not. The theme required the project to be able to help a group of people in an historical event, and our project would be able to help the Black Panther Activist Group. Our project would've helped this group as 85% of the white lynch mob was released with low bail whereas only about 10% of the Black Panthers were released on bail and those released were only released on ridiculously high bail, making it near impossible for them to post bail. The Black Panthers group is explained more thoroughly in our website and our demo.
The main issue with bail is that the judge can decide whatever they want, and the judge will make assumptions about people. Although the majority of judges are not actually racist, everyone has some bias to them, and this can sway their decisions, however it shouldn't. Our program is able to solve this.
Another issue is that the datasets given from the court is bias, so the only true way to fix the issue is by creating a model which does not take certain inputs, such as race, and create an unbiased model.
What it does
Unbiased Bail is a progressive web application which allows Judges to decide whether or not a defendant deserves bail or not, without bias. A Judge will put in a csv file of the defendant, which contains all their information such as past convictions, juvenile felony count, and much more and the model will output whether or not the defendant should get bail. The model is unbiased, as it does not take into account race, sex, age and more features which should not be considered when deciding bail.
The project contains an SVM(Support Vector Machine)(Sklearn) model, which is a linear model. This model is great for us as we need it for a binary classification problem(bail or no bail).
How We built it
To build the base website we used HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. We used Javascript in order to create animations for the website, and help get the CSV file into the AI model. For AI model we used Python and Sklearn. We spent many hours testing different algorithms, and eventually came to the conclusion that the svm model produced the best results. Another model we tried extensively was a logistic regression model, however this did not produce the results we wanted. To move the CSV file into the AI model we use a PHP command line, and Javascript.
Challenges We ran into
The biggest challenge we faced regarded our model. It took quite a while to figure out which model is the best, and we figured this out by testing different models and comparing the accuracy. We also ran into issues with getting the file into the model, however we were able to switch our method to PHP, which allowed us to transition the file easily.
Accomplishments we are proud of
We are proud that we are able to create a project which takes a step forward regarding the current issues in the world. We feel accomplished as we were able to research, program, and test a project which can be used in such an important place.
What is next for Unbiased Bail
Our website is ready for the world. It is very scalable as our project is full functional, and can be used by any federal court or judge. Our website is necessary for the United States, as racial injustice will not stop and will always be seen as an issue unless something real is done about it. In order to create a public demo we need a domain which supports PHP, however we currently do not have this, so we are unable to host the site publicly. This website is a step in that direction and will be seen as an improvement to society.

10,471 | https://devpost.com/software/lucas-max-encryptr | Inspiration
The inspiration for my project came from a museum I visited in France. At the museum, there was an exhibit about the ciphers used during WW2 and beyond. During brainstorming, when I was thinking how to help people with technology, I thought of cryptography because it's really similar to coding and can be easily automated with machines.
What it does
The morse code "cipher" translate strings into morse code, and the enigma cipher encrypts strings by "randomizing" each letter
How I built it
Lucas and I built both ciphers using Python at first, then created an HTML site to host them. We built the ciphers using basic Python that changes the inputted string letter by letter into a new string.
Challenges I ran into
We researched many ciphers, such as the M-209, the Lorenz and other ciphers. However, these were too hard to code, and required cryptography skills and understanding ciphers we didn't have.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
In my opinion, the website looks really good, and I'm happy that all the python functions smoothly.
What I learned
I learned a lot more about the history of ciphers in WW2, especially the ones used by Germany.
What's next for Lucas + Max: Encryptr
This is it for the Encryptr, but maybe in the future, once I've learned more Python and more about cryptography, I hope to add more ciphers to the website.

Inspiration
We were inspired by the valiant and selfless efforts of all those helping contrabands escape from slavery. With no regard for their own lives, they helped others because they knew it was right. We wanted to make this project to pay tribute someow to those brave souls.
What it does
Provides an easy central communication and coordination center for the Underground Railroad
How I built it
Using android studio (java) and scaledrone
Challenges I ran into
The scaledrone chat was very difficult to implement, and there were numerous other bugs along the way that cause large problems and over 1,000 errors.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We finally managed to pull through with our chat part and also managed to coordinate everything such that it ran smoothly with no errors
What I learned
We learned a LOT about Android Studio, as none of us had used it for more than a day or two before the hackathon. Now, we are comfortable building a lot of applications, tools, and implementing navigation using Android Studio.
What's next for ByteHacks2020 Submission: Underground Railroad App
Additional Notes:
Instructions: Choose your role, and create an account or sign in if you have one. From your homepage, you can navigate anywhere you might need to assist a contraband. Many helping resources are available including maps, messaging, location tracking, warrants, and much much more. At each stage of the program after login, you are allowed to go to the homepage or logout. The app is quite self explanatory, and shows explanatory text to help anybody who is unsure of what to do.
Notes: The realtime chat part of this app works with any other person anywhere on the internet who has the correct ID code.
The list of what supplies are available, the list of reservations, map for conductor, the certificates, and conductor names are auto generated and not kept in a server. We did not have enough time to look into solutions to these issues and therefore made it as close to the final product as possible - which we believe is quite close given our time limit.
If you register, the program does not keep your information.
To login, use Username: "Username" and password: "password" without the quotes for any type of account
The chat uses a real-time back end of scaledrone, where you can create an account and messaging channel for free.
This project is only meant for submission to ByteHacks 2020, and has been created solely for that purpose.

Detection of bike rider without wearing helmet, and extract the number plate and store it into cloud database and send SMS to respective rule violators.
What it does
Using the existing video feeds from the cameras positioned on highways, traffic signal & busy roads, conduct the following:
Detection of bike rider with / without wearing helmet
Extraction of vehicle license plate
Generation of receipt of bike rider without wearing helmet
Send SMS to registered mobile number
Introduction:
Now-a-days two wheelers are the most preferred mode of transport. It is highly desirable for bike riders to use a helmet, but wearing helmets is often neglected by riders worldwide leading to accidents and deaths. To address this issue, most countries have laws which mandate the use of helmets for two-wheeler riders. In addition to the law, there is a significant proportion of the police force that discourages this behavior by issuing a traffic violation ticket. As of now, this process is manual and tedious. The proposed system is to solve this problem by automating the process of detecting the riders who are riding without helmets. Furthermore, the system also extracts the license plate, in extraction of license plate algorithm has five parts: image procurement, preliminary processing, fringe detection and segmentation, feature extraction and recognition of character number plates using suitable machine learning algorithms so that it could be used to issue traffic violation tickets. The system implements machine learning and image processing techniques to detect riders, riding two-wheelers, who are not wearing helmets. The system takes a video of traffic on public roads as the input and detects moving objects in the scene. A machine learning classifier is applied to the moving object to identify if the moving object is a two-wheeler. The license plate is provided as the output in case the rider is not wearing a helmet.

We were inspired to join the hackathon since we love to code and we have never done anything like a hackathon before. We were inspired to write about the bubonic plague due to the coronavirus pandemic. Due to the pandemic, many people have passed away due to not taking simple precautions. Since this and the bubonic plague are similar. We thought that we could learn a thing or two about the plague to help prevent the spread of the virus today.
What it does:
Our website is designed to inform people about the plague and to help them avoid it. Our website also includes a quiz to make sure that people have a proper understanding of the plague. We will make sure that people know how to combat this deadly plague. Our website will save millions of lives.
How we built it:
We build our website using 5 different languages, we used HTML, CSS, Python, javascript, and English. At first, we used HTML/CSS to make the website, then we incorporated python and javascript to help make the quiz so that the user can answer the questions and see if their answers were correct or wrong.
Challenges we ran into:
The biggest challenge we ran into was figuring out how to make a quiz. First, we needed to find out how to make it so that the user could choose an answer to a question. Then we used python to have it so we could figure out whether the answer was correct or wrong. Then that information was sent to the javascript which then highlighted the answer in green if it's correct and red if it's wrong.
Accomplishments that we're proud of:
We are really proud of our quiz and our navigation bar since we had no idea how to make the quiz and had no idea how to make the navbar work.
What we learned:
We learned how to work together as a group efficiently, and we learned how to get HTML, CSS, javascript, and Python to worth together in unison.

In the past, we have seen the rise of new born countries escaping from the grasps of colonization. Many of these fights took several years to iniate and finally obtain victory against their colonizing nation. As a result, I decided to make a mobile application to help aid those freedom fighters wishing to part from their colonizing nation. Although this application is applicable to many of the major instances in the world, such as many of colonized countries in Africa and Asia, I decided to choose the United States Revolutionary War lasting from April 19, 1775 – September 3, 1783. Before I start going into the solution and its implementation in the app, I would like to point out that the Revolutionary War in concept similar to many other independence movements and this app can also be implemented in those time periods.
Many of the problems that occurred which brought the American Colonies on the brink of losing the revolutionary war are related to communication. In fact, the start of the Revolutionary War correlated directly to this. Paul Revere raced towards Lexington to warn them regarding the ordered arrest of Samuel Adams and John Hancock and we later know this as the Midnight Ride. However, the fact was that back then no technology existed which resulted in letter and other forms of communication that would take days or months now to be done within seconds. Hence, I am leveraging the power of technology we have today in order to help the colonists alert each other and communicate the British’s movements better and be alerted when found, organize themselves and get information regarding the independence movement quicker and read about news within minutes time rather than days.
I have created a Hybrid Mobile App, using the react-native framework and with the react library in order to create an application available both on android and iOS. However, for the demo I will be showing the IOS version. I have created an app that uses a News API, f, location tracking, geofencing and geocoding to allowing colonists to enter a location, and a system where colonists will be able to submit an alert regarding something they see to notify other who may be at that location and specify what they saw or what is going to happen. This data is then pushed to Google Firebase in real time where the data is stored and then retrieved by other users in their alerts tab bringing awareness to this secretive update. Additionally, it automatically updates the a map for a graphical representation of the alerts received. This will help colonists get updated and organized to plan future actions.
Historically, gaining Independence has been a big part for previously colonized countries. However, due to the lack of technology, communication was quite difficult especially when the colonizing country was suppressing and eliminating all sources of Independence Fighters. This application is applicable to any country in the past fighting for Independence, however, the main historic event is the United States Revolutionary War that lasted from April 19, 1775 - September 3rd, 1783. As a result, for my ByteHacks project I have leveraged the technologies of today to help connect colonists to the latest news within seconds, alert others far distanced away using an alert system with a Google Firebase Backend (Inspired by Paul Revere's Midnight Ride starting the Revolutionary War) and help find data regarding certain locations from now known data.
What it does
The first part of my solution is a News API which allows forcolonists to be informed regarding the latest news at its earliest convenience.
The second part of my solution is to access specific information regarding a location using a combination of user input and already known data from that time period. I used location tracking and geocoding to allow colonists to enter a location and find extensive details regarding that location. These details includes information regarding how many British Personnel may be at a certain location other details.
The last part of my app is a platform that allows a user, who may have special insight or information and wishes to pass it on, to fill out a quick form and push it to Google Firebase’s real-time database. This data is then retrieved by other users in the alerts tab automatically by refreshing where other users are informed of that info. This part is very similar to a social media platform but for urgent alerts and some special features such as mapping the location in the maps UI as shown in the video.
How I built it
For the displays of the News Feed in terms of design, I used Native Base's custom components which allowed me to do so. Additionally, I used react-native-maps in order to create the maps UI in the search section. I also used react-native-maps custom marker to use a custom colored marker.
For the guts of the project, I have previous experience with implementing a News API, so I redid my magic for this project in the News Feed Tab. Additionally, for the search tab, I had experience with that too, so I knew expo-permissions and expo-locations would help me gain my location which I used in order to accomplish that.
Challenges I ran into
I ran into many challenges with the database with posting and retrieving data. In general, I was able to accomplish it eventually but I will list my problems below. I had issues formatting the data and fetching the data from the correct data when handling multiple files. I eventually fixed this by finding the correct way to embed a object in a text string in its midst to retrieve its data and it worked.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
What I learned
I learned how to essentially create a social media platform in the context of a theme. I learned how to create a good looking User Interface that has been
What's next for Independence Connect
I hope this app can be used for any social cause out there as there are many. From protests to movements regarding rights in certain areas, they need a secret platform to communicate. Although this app is mainly to bind with the theme for ByteHacks Hackathon, I hope I can find a way for it to be useful for users today.

We built it using simple HTML and CSS. We used programs such as sublime text and chrome. Since we were beginners, we also got tremendous help on youtube and other video platforms.
Challenges I ran into
Since we are beginners, it took a while to figure out how to use HTML and CSS. It was also challenging to create a three column format and formatting images.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We are proud that we were able to make a fully functioning website as just beginners.
What I learned
Over the course of building this website, we learned the basics of HTML and CSS. We figured out how to add links, insert pictures, and create columns.
What's next for Survival Guide
We hope to add an interactive map that would show the Underground Railroad network, so slaves could easily find a route to the North or Canada.

10,471 | https://devpost.com/software/mathincovid | This is in fact our very first hackathon. When we heard about it, we were very excited to participate and tried to prepare for it. So, when we went to the hackathon we thought we were ready. At first, everything was a struggle. Before the hackathon started, we all had to learn about different things that we didn’t really have experience on like Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and had to learn all about Github and how to share files to each other. We were complete beginners to web applications. Yet still, we were able to create our first web application. Our project is about being able to teach colonial children in the US. Next we will expand our horizons by moving from the 1600s to modern day children.
Jayadev:
I built it using Flask. I helped all around with most of the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in our project. I honestly learned so many things when building this project from major things like how time consuming and how much hard work it can be to create a website to small things like what is AJAX. I spent a lot of time in Stack Overflow finding answers to so many questions. Before I entered, I didn’t know any CSS and JavaScript at all and only knew Python and HTML. Even then I decided to challenge myself and I told my group that I would work on the front end and help out with the Flask as I knew about Flask a bit more than them. Unfortunately, none of my teammates knew anything about the front-end so I started off with learning how to create a Login and Register using Flask and some HTML. Using many different tutorials and such, I decided to download something called Twitter Bootstrap and it helped greatly for the website in terms of CSS. After that I went through many obstacles trying to put in our first Python game, the Pythagorean theorem game. During this stage I learned a lot through Stack Overflow and learned how to transfer information from the Python file to the HTML using AJAX. In the end this hackathon was a great experience for me and learned a lot from it. I am proud of everything I was able to do but I was most proud of being able to push the code from the python file using Flask and AJAX in JavaScript. Without hackathons, I feel not as many people would get inspired to enjoy coding and programming.
Siddharth:
Before I joined the hackathon only knowing python, but afterwards I learned so many different languages and ways to program. Also, this is the first hackathon I am doing, so it was a very amazing learning experience for me. For example, I was able to learn and understand CSS and HTML, which helped my friends program the website faster and easier. Furthermore, I learned how to add different languages together using Flask. I was able to understand the differences between many projects and learned how to create a website itself.
Prashant: I learned a lot of things during this hackathon. Before participating I only knew how to do java but after looking at many videos I learned JavaScript,python, and html working on things from apps to backgrounds. This hackathon sets me up because I could now work efficiently on websites and learned to also use github to mix codes together. The terminal language is also a big thing that I learned from importing and pulling files to running a website we made.
Ashwith: What I learnt in this hackathon, my first hackathon, is that I finally knew what it takes to make a website and understand how to use Flask. I realized that I could make so much more projects complexity-wise.

In the United States alone roughly 37% of dogs are overweight and 19% are obese. This equates to more than 50% and research has found that these numbers will continue to grow. More often than not dogs are overfed or given poor exercise leading to severe health issues and decreased life expectancy. When we talked to veterinary professionals, they told us how they usually have to calculate the lean weight of the owner’s dog to update the food amount given to their dog on a daily basis. The problem is dog owners usually only go to checkups once a year. That means that the food amount will eventually be invalid, and the dog may be eating too little or too much based on its lean weight progress over time.
What it does
Our app takes in user input of a dog's characteristics and information to determine how much food and exercise the dog should be receiving on a daily basis. What’s unique about our app is that we have an API that will progressively update the age of the dog, and we have our own python machine learning predictive model using Keras that will predict what the lean weight of the dog will be over time since we already know how much the dog is eating every day. The predictive model is graphed on the nutrition page, and you can see key weight milestones for the dog such as when it’s 1 year old, 2 years old, wtc. We also have additional features such as a Vaccine Log that will help the user keep track of all past vaccines and a Behavior Log that will help owners track significant behavioral changes which could ultimately help veterinarians diagnose diseases and problems sooner.
How we built it
We used the Flutter SDK by Google to create an app that can run both on the app store and the play store. The primary language we used was dart, and we worked as a team and split up different pages of the app, and once we were done with our individual work, we merged everything using GitHub. Our key emphasis throughout the app was to have a simple but functional user experience. Most other pet tracking apps only track physical activities or calorie count, but require the user to enter in the calorie amount and exercise time every time the dog eats or wants to go out. We knew this can be disheartening for a consumer to consistently use an app, so our main focus was to have one setup process where you set up your dog’s information when you first download the app, then the user will never have to edit anything again. We also chose a lighter tone for the UI of the app to make it seem more simplistic to the user.
Challenges we ran into
When submitting we ran into technical difficulties since our Zoom calls weren’t working. We also had a lot of challenges with the Flutter software. We also experienced a lot of problems with the animations throughout the app. We wanted to make the user experience as appealing as possible, so our decision to spend a significant amount of time on it led to numerous animation bugs and rendering problems. Issues with implementing the API and other UI navigation issues constantly popped up as well but we worked through it together, and we are extremely proud of the product we produced.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are most proud of the nutrition page because there is currently no app that can predict the lean weight of a dog over time, and determine the exact amount of food the dog should be eating. The model required the implementation of an API that could determine time zones, and update the age of the dog over time. This implementation in itself was difficult for us, and we were very proud to see everything work in cohesion. We were also proud of the animations throughout the app and transitions between screens because these ultimately made our app look more professional and appealing for us to use.
What we learned
We learned a lot about how to make an app, and specifically how to implement an API and python back end. This was the first time we had built an app through the Flutter software, and we were excited to create an app which would work for both IOS and Android. We spent quite some time working through the small errors so it was very nice to solidify the basics. We did have experience with the android studio so it made it easier for us to build this app as a whole, but we learned a lot about Flutter and Dart.
What's next for PetCare Tracker
So currently we are focusing on creating a fully functional and viable prototype as there are many features and tweaks we would like to make. Once we do that we plan on running a few Beta trials with Pet Owners and their Vets. At that stage, the revenue would be generated through ads. If our trials prove to be successful we will file for a proprietary license and copy-right the code. We’ve read the USPTO criteria and we believe our app would be eligible for a patent as well since with combination of features, especially the predictive model. For our third stage, we would also generate revenue through a licensing fee if we can work with pet clinics.

The Great Recession, also known as the global financial crisis, was the most severe worldwide economic crisis since the Great Depression and the longest since World War II. From December 2007 to June 2009, the American stock market lost eight trillion US dollars in value. Millions of Americans lost their jobs during this crisis. Our project uses Indeed, founded in 2003, to automate the job search and maximize user experience during periods of unemployment.
What it does
Our program uses the Indeed job database to curate a personalized list of job info for the user in order to maximize efficiency during the job search period. It searches for any red flags to avoid in the description, filters by job name, and a series of other common criteria to display some basic info about the job, company name, and an URL for easy access.
How we built it
We utilized BeautifulSoup to traverse HTML pages (Indeed), and our Python code uses user input to go through the necessary filters.
Challenges we ran into
We had no experience with HTML (such as BeautifulSoup) and went through many trials and errors with multiple versions of our code. At first, we used WebDriver and various other software but found other, shorter ways to complete our task.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We’re proud that we were able to get our code working and understand HTML documentation, as well as apply the filters correctly.
What we learned
We learned a lot about HTML in the form of WebDriver, BeautifulSoup, and more. We also worked with some more complex Python code.
What's next for between jobs
We are looking into either making between jobs a chrome extension or utilizing the Python local host to use HTML and create a web app for it. We also want to add more filters based on user input.

We were inspired by government programs like the Public Works Administration during this time period. We thought about how these programs could be improved with technology and how it could be made to function in this time period.
What it does
The site combats unemployment in the Great Depression time by allowing users to create an account to browse different jobs. It takes into account racial and gender bias that were more heavily prevalent during this time period and presents jobs that give you high percentage of being hired.
How I built it
The site was styled with HTML, CSS, and JS. The Bootstraps library was used to create the interface. The backend was made through Python, as well as Dockerfile and Makerfile.
Challenges I ran into
Some challenges we ran into were combining the frontend interface to work with backend. We needed to display the jobs on the screen and have the accounts register with the backend. It was tricky and we had to redo the pages a couple times but in the end we figured it out.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We are proud of the clean user interface we created. It is easy to use and we worked very hard on it. We are also very proud of the backend, with the accounts and job data. We believe these two aspects of the site worked very well and helped make the site feel professional.
What I learned
We learned how to connect the backend to the frontend of a site in a smooth and professional way. We also learned teamwork and communication skills.
What's next for STJK - Helploy
We could expand this site into working for the current age, as many struggle with unemployment during quarantine. We coud gear it towards internships or part time jobs.
We also would like to expand our service to thousands of people who might be affected by job loss worldwide by hosting our application on Google Cloud Platform and distribute it globally.

About page
Purpose of MorseTyper
Ever since it was invented in the 1830s, morse code was an essential form of long-distance communication during the 19th and 20th centuries, especially in times such as war. However, morse code has a steep learning curve, making people have to memorize many morse code patterns and input them in quick succession. To combat this problem, we created MorseTyper, a website that helps people practice morse code while also tracking their speed.
How it works
MorseTyper uses the spacebar to simulate sending morse code using a telegram. When the spacebar is pressed, a sound will play indicating that you have pressed it. Depending on how long you press the spacebar, a dit or dash will be registered, and by inputting the dits and dashes in quick succession you can create a pattern that represents a character. Also, after a short amount of time, your input will reset, allowing you to input once again if you made a mistake or would like to restart your input. When you input the right letter, the next letter in the sentence will be highlighted, and if you input incorrectly, the highlight color will turn red, meaning you will have to try again. In the bottom left. There is also a timer indicating how much time has passed since the first time you pressed the space bar. When you finally complete the sentence the textbox will show your time and your estimated wpm. Also, On the right, there is a checkbox that lets you choose if you want to show a morse code chart if you haven't memorized all the patterns yet.
How we built it
We used html, css, javascript, and python flask to create this website. Python flask was used to run the website, and javascript was used to receive input, play sounds, etc.
Challenges we ran into
Overall, we thought that this project as a whole was a challenge. Going into this hackathon, we didn't have much experience in web development, so we had to spend a lot of time looking through the internet on how to do certain things.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are incredibly proud of the website that we make for this hackathon. Again, we didn't have much experience in web development going into this hackathon, so we are delighted to have made something that worked.
What we learned
We learned a lot when coding this website, such as how to use python flask and how to connect different files together to create a working website. After doing this hackathon, we now have a better idea of how to make websites in the future, and we hope that the next website we make will be better than this one.
What's next for MorseTyper
We might add some more features, such as a list of all the user's previous scores.

We noticed that a huge number of restaurants and cafes had lost their sales due to COVID-19. They were giving out coupons and offers to get back business but not many came to know of those because of the lockdown (usual means of marketing like word of mouth and newspapers were not working anymore).
What it does
We decided to help such restaurants and cafes by showing their promotions on our website where they can easily sign up and display their offers.
How we built it
We built it through HTML, CSS, JS, and Google sheets API. We made a website through HTML and CSS and then added Javascript to the form and the frontend. We then integrated Sheets API and connected it to the form so we could use a spreadsheet as a database.
Challenges we ran into
Integrating the Sheets API with the signup form was quite tough and this was a major challenge.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This was the first time that we used Google Sheets API as a database and connected it to a frontend.
What we learned
We refined our HTML and CSS skills and learned the fundamentals of Javascript and database management.

Inspiration
Our inspiration revolved around the Civil Rights movement and abolitionist movement. We then narrowed down our project idea to be the Underground Railroad, as this gave us many possibilities for what app we could make. After we got the basic features, we started coding and thought of the rest as we worked.
What it does
Our app would have allowed the slaves to visit safehouses around the country worry free and reserve spots in safehouses. The user can open the route in Google Maps to get directions and can contact the owner directly by text message or phone. As a bonus, the runaway slave can also reserve multiple spots when traveling in a group.
Furthermore, safehouse owners would be able to easily manage their safehouses by viewing how many expected visitors there are and setting the capacity for the safehouse.
How we built it
We used Flutter, Firebase, Visual Studio Code, Android Studio, Dart, and Github. Using all of these, we were able to make an entire app in 4 days. We all worked on different parts because we are all in different places and working at different times.
Our entire app was technically one page - all the different screens came up from the bottom - but we divided our files by screen to make things easier.
Challenges we ran into
Most of the bugs we ran into revolved around asynchronous operations and values returning null because the operation had not finished yet. For example, one challenge we faced was obtaining and using the user's location. We squashed this bug with a Flutter package called geolocator and only showing the map when the location has been found.
We also had trouble displaying the lines of the route between the user's location and the destination safehouse, as well as the markers representing the safehouses. Both of these issues occured because of null references, and were fixed by waiting for the variables to be set before using them.
It was very hard to update the UI once a user makes a change.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we created a functioning app in 4 days, and the progress we made every day with just a 3 person team. We are also proud of being able to efficiently coordinate between three time zones.
What we learned
While relearning how to use Flutter and Dart, we also learned how to exploit the resources provided by Google, Google Maps, and GitHub. Specifically with our app, we learned how to store the user's device's UUID in the app's local storage.
What's next for NorthStar
We can create chat rooms for rallies and movements.
There can be a warning system where the slaves are notified about incoming slave catchers by those ahead in the line

What's next for Covid-Scope
We were really inspired by the learning opportunity that SigmaHacks provided us! We had the opportunity to work on a developing and global situation which could have a huge impact on the number of people infected by the virus. As the U.S is reaching a shocking 4 million cases, more and more people are desperate to get tested so keeping these crowded testing sites crowd-free will be critical. The number of hospital beds in the U.S are substantially less than the number of people infected by the virus; it is important for the healthcare workers to pay more attention towards those vulnerable to the virus.
We learned how to work efficiently and effectively as we had a lot of ideas but not a lot of time. It was important to devote more of our time on the features which make our app unique rather than on the features which are already released to the public. We also had the opportunity to write Machine Learning code - our first time!
We started off by spending the first 3 hours finalizing our idea and ensuring that we had a complete plan. After that, we started with the app display and the prototypes. We then wrote the code which decided the most efficient testing site for the user. Lastly, we created data by hand to input and train the computer. We experimented with Logistic Regression Models as well as the Random Forest model.
There were many challenges we faced throughout the project. We had so many ideas but we did not exactly know how to concisely put it all in an app. We also faced the challenge of figuring out which components to work on first and which components we should work on later on. Thank you for giving us this opportunity and we look forward to participating in more Hackathons!

Inspiration
I was outgrowing my bed so I had got a new one and gave my old one away to someone who really needed it. When I saw the theme, I immediately thought of that. During the Great Depression, everyone had lost things that they really needed. I also lost something but I gave it to someone who needed it. This is where my app idea came from. I knew the event but the idea was to give things to someone who needed them. That is what my app does and that is what I did.
What it does
If someone needs help, then they have to enter what they need and where they are. This information is sent to a central Apache web server which has a MySQL database on it. This information is then displayed on the screen for everyone to see. If someone is able to help, they go straight to the screen with all the information. They just have to have the item and go to the location. This helps people because, for no cost, people can give their extra things to others. This way, everyone gets things.
How I built it
I first created a web server on my home PC. I made a test database and test table to test the functionality out. Before actually starting the app, I made a dummy app that does the core functionality I need BarterBuddie to do. I made 2 PHP scripts for adding and retrieving data. With all of this working, I had the core elements. Then I started working on BarterBuddie. I made a main menu for needing help and able to help. I also made a screen where the user can input their need(only goes there if help needed). This data was put into the database using one of the PHP scripts. If the user was able to help, all the data would be retrieved using the second PHP script. This was then displayed on the screen. All that was left to do was UI.
Challenges I ran into
Some challenges I ran into were basically the main part of BarterBuddie. I have never done this before so I needed to look up how to create an Apache web server, how to create a MySQL database and a table. I had to learn the basics of PHP and how to add and retrieve elements from a certain table in a certain database through a script. I also had to learn the Java side of it. although I am familiar with Java, to get it working with a database and web server. Another problem I ran into was that my http responses were coming back at a later time than the time it took me to switch between two screens. This problem is not yet solved but it works because I put a sleep there.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I am proud of the fact that I managed to do this in the 4 days that I had. In the end, it turned out pretty good and I was surprised that it was actually working. I am also proud that I learned how to use Java in a new way that I never would have thought of.
What I learned
I learned how to set up an Apache web server on mac and use MySQL to set up a database and a table. I also learned how to use PHP to write scripts that can talk to the database and tell it to update or return some value. I basically learned everything that I used for this project.
What's next for BarterBuddie
I hope to add a functionality for fixing my http response problem the right way. I also hope to add a response element so that people can respond the other people's need.

If you don't feel better for 5 days then it will give you the phone number to call the doctor.
How I built it- I built it by building small parts of the program at a time then combine it. I checked if it works and if it is wrong I break it into smaller parts to find the bug. When I built it into two big pieces I combined it and fine-tuned it so it would work perfectly together.
Challenges I ran into- I ran into a major problem of variables. I needed to use them in two different places but I couldn't since It was a local variable. To solve this I got rid of some of my loops and rearranged so it would need separate variables. This way it did not matter it was a local variable.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of- I am proud of finishing this project since this my first project that I did by myself.
What I learned- I learned that you also need to expect the unexpected and that you need to change the entire structure of your program to include all parts.

Inspiration
Back in the 1800s, some immigrants had no sense where they can reside when they first planted their two feet in New York City. My team and I were stimulated to find a solution - to help guide immigrants to nearby tenements that they were comfortable with.
What it does
This app has a mapping system of New York City to help guide immigrants to hospitable tenement locations.
How we built it
Using web app developing languages, namely HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, we were able to make a custom-built Google Maps Platform with pinpoints of tenements in the New York City vicinity for immigrants to access by making an account.
Challenges we ran into
We found it quite difficult and strenuous to gather the various coordinates of many tenements and put all that into code. It was also a tad-bit difficult arranging the pages on the app version.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We finally we're able to manage all the data into code and we were able to style the pages with a nice touch.
What we learned
We learned about advanced web app development.
What's next for ImmiRent
We might add information and reviews under each pinpoint about each tenement so immigrants looking for tenements can choose based on their reviews.

Inspiration
It’s been known for years that impoverished neighborhoods experience much higher rates of chronic diseases, such asthma, diabetes, and more. Some of these conditions are adversely affected by climate patterns, like Air Quality Index and temperature. We decided to make a tool to assist these communities in this regard.
What it does
Our web app provides a user friendly portfolio page, after they register and log in. The user then provides their location and health conditions, which will be stored into a database along with other information. They will then have access to up to date risk analysis, through email updates or directly on our app, based on their health conditions and climate data, with 3 different levels of warning. Finally, the user can provide feedback on whether the recommendation was correct, improving our systems performance.
How I built it
Our app was built through the Django framework, which maintains the security of our product. We integrated a SQL database to keep track of patient information, including health conditions, over time. We also added an email server for more convenience. We use the Meteomatics and Weatherbit API’s to access climate data. Using all this data, our app runs a non-heuristic algorithm and a machine learning model (made from tensorflow and keras) to predict risk. The model can be improved through feedback from the user. Finally, we host our app on an Apache server.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We are proud of integrating our SQL database, which makes access to location and health data more efficient. We are also proud of our model’s ability to improve over time from user feedback. A model is only as good as the data it is given. Therefore, the ability to continuously retrain on new data drastically increases the potential for our model.
What I learned
We researched the effects of weather on numerous chronic diseases in order to create an algorithm that effectively takes into consideration. We also learned a lot about how to use Django to make and deploy our web app. We had some trouble with file paths when we migrated our app into the server, but we solved this in time.
What's next for WeatherOrNot
We will continuously train our machine learning model until it eventually replaces our algorithm. Currently, we only have about 20 diseases we can analyze; we plan to increase the size of this list. We also plan to use more climate data to better evaluate the risk present at any given day.

JewGuard
Inspiration
The Holocaust was a huge issue during WWII and over 5 million Jewish people were lost due to this event. For those who don't know what the holocaust is, the holocaust is a World War II genocide of the European Jews. We were thinking of an innovative idea that would've saved lives during that time. We felt that there was a need to make a website that could be accessible by many Jews. This problem is what inspired us to make this user-friendly interface.
What it does
JewGuard offers an ideal way to inform Jews during the Holocaust. The website includes a map with markers pointing to Nazi locations and when they were posted. Users can put a Nazi alert and the website will verify if the post is from a Nazi spy or an actual Jew. In addition, the website holds a blog page where people can create posts. This website will only be available to Jews.
How we built it
We used the Google Cloud Platform along with Firebase for this project.

Challenges we ran into
There were many challenges we ran into, but that's what programming's all about. One of the difficult challenges we ran into was making sure the UI worked. Another challenge was figuring out how to embed the website with markers that denoted locations of Nazis.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of so many things. We made use of this project to the best of our abilities in the amount of time alloted. We got to use the Google Cloud Platform, which is a first for all of us, we had never used GCP before and now we will continue to use this platform. Additionally, we combined all of our skills to create a website that uses multiple frameworks and we are proud of this website. We love the UI/UX and we love the Backend, it was our first time as well using these frameworks. Finally, we are proud of the amount of work we pulled of in 24 hours. We would have never thought we could accmplish this much in such a small amount of time with team effort.

Inspiration
My inspiration towards this app was the fact that millions of lives were lost unnecessarily before advanced technology existed to guide individuals. I wanted to build this app that could have potentially changed the past event. KNOWLEDGE is the key to success and living a peaceful life as it provides a hand in most situations. In this catastrophic storm, people didn't plan ahead and struggled to survive. If technology was more advanced back then, it would have acted as a pillar for their future.
What it does
This mobile application provides information and stages of hurricane evacuation. The home page contains the entire process which consists of preparing materials, sealing your home, planning evacuation, abandoning home, and staying safe at shelter.
How I built it
I built the application "Hurricane Handbook" using react native framework. I programmed in JavaScript using Visual Studio Code and simulated my results on Expo Client.
Challenges I ran into
I was challenged by the mapView feature of react-native. I wanted to use MapBox which provides colorful themes and 3D-structures displayed by the coordinate markers. However, mapBox framework could not be incorporated on expo which made me end up using mapView of react-native.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I carry the pride of obtaining trustworthy information about how to safely evacuate before and during the hurricane. I was also able to design the buttons and other features aesthetically on my application.
What I learned
I have created a couple of apps using react-native in the past. This is my first successful and working app that had allowed me to obtain in-depth analysis on how to build good apps to suffice user's needs
What's next for Hurricane Handbook
Due to time constraint in hackathon, I wasn't able to expand my vision on the last minute stage. Giving hope and plenty of choices for the user during this rare stage will be an eye-opener to increasing amount of survivals and expansion of app's popularity.

Inspiration
We took inspiration from the Black Lives Matter movement. One of the biggest issues in today’s society is the lack of representation/negative representation of black characters in the media. At a young age, our views of the world become distorted when we do not see diversity in the movies and tv shows we watch. We wanted to challenge these societal norms by ensuring our future generations are taught to love, not hate. We wanted to create a game in which young students could see themselves represented and learn to support one another.
What it does
Young students can play our game to acknowledge, understand, and learn more about situations in which discrimination can surface and how they can help support their peers who face these challenges. Our game encourages young children to learn about racial equality and social justice in a fun and interactive manner. The game helps with understanding and creating the habit of treating everyone fairly, regardless of skin colour.
How we built it
We built our game using Unity and C# for game development. We made multiple scenes for each of the challenges and added button functionality using C# scripts.
Notable Game Feature
The game includes a menu of helpful resources and stories for those interested in learning more about racial inequality and how this social issue has affected people around the world. This feature encourages users and their parents to better understand important events in the BLM Movement and how they can contribute to mitigating systemic injustices.
Challenges we ran into
Our biggest challenge as a group was learning to use Unity. We had never used this software before and had to quickly learn about collaborating with Unity. However, after some trial and error, we successfully managed to collaborate and add our personal touches to the game!
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our greatest accomplishment was that we quickly adapted to using Unity and C#, a platform and a language we did not have prior experience with. We are proud of how we were able to create a game that represented Black people and helped students learn to recognize and combat discrimination. We enjoyed working with one another and are thankful for this experience.
What we learned
As we were installing Unity, we learned that setting up new software can be difficult, but not impossible! As we started to create our game, we learned how to create new scenes, add UI elements (eg. text animation), and create C# scripts within Unity.
What's next for Taymar's Adventure
We hope to better engage our potential users by adding more stories and levels, as well as a points system.

During the brainstorming process, we knew that we want COVID-19 to be our focus because even small contributions can make a big difference to this pandemic. We came up with many ideas that have not been implemented, would be useful, and most importantly, is realistic for the given time period. As mentioned in the challenge statement, we were asked to tackle a social issue that we believe could be solved through technology. After understanding the situation, we prioritized all ideas and decided to focus on building a product or service which can limit the overall cases as well as have targeted groups, have good mental health. To ensure that are limited people in stores at a given time, we collect data from Google Maps and store owners to offer a solution where community members are able to have access to this before visiting any place.
What it does
Clusive Co. is a mobile application that allows users to see the busyness of their desired stores. It is an organized platform that allows fast access to different locations to help users decide a safe place for their visit during this pandemic. Clusive Co. provides a list of store traffic rather than having users search for different locations & view its busyness. It only takes a person to enter a store name and radius of the location.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud that we were able to discuss and analyze many requirements and risks involved in this project in detail. As shown in our report, we have understood the costs, people involved in the project, and a rough time frame to develop this. Also, we worked in a team effectively to discuss the key questions involved in the project by bringing in different perspectives.
What's next for Clusive Co.
Our next step is to begin on Elaboration Iteration I, where we will be creating a basic mobile application, training with new tools & technologies, understanding more requirements.

Inspiration
The occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic has had an immense impact on our reality. Safety and hygienic measures have been heavily implemented throughout all public settings ranging from workplaces, restaurants, to even medical facilities, though one common form of communication remains to be safely conducted. Our team was intrigued by the idea that information transmission currently consists of a strong amount of physical contact, increasing the risk of transmitting the virus. Filling out forms has become a frequent and repetitive process with consistent requests usually based around details such as; Name, Phone Number, Email, etc.. . Often the information is then typed into an online software by an employee at the facility, which is a very ineffective approach to keeping track of visitors.
What if we could share essential forms of input through a united application/web platform, enabling a safe and efficient way of transferring details through a request-based system. Consisting of a powerful thoroughly authenticated process, we can revolutionize the world of data transfer, and potentially prevent an uncountable amount of people from contracting the virus.
What it does
Universal is an immersive & easy-to-use platform allowing the transfer of personal data to required services through a third-party request system. Utilizing two-factor authentication with the assistance of Google Firebase, every individual on the platform has a unique code identifier (UCI) which automatically updates on a 30-minute interval system to ensure the highest level of privacy. As a request for information is made, the user must input their UCI into the alert field and all of the required details will be automatically transferred to the request maker’s screen. Any additional information required will appear on the user’s device prior to data submission and can be conveniently filled out through one’s personal device.
The concept exceptionally eliminates all forms of contact, heavily reduces wait times & lineups, and overall is the perfect solution to increasing safety in our communities.
How we built it
For wireframing, our group used Figma, Dribbble and other design tools and inspirations. Universal was mainly built with standard HTML, CSS and JS. Our group was quite familiar with these technologies and was able to use them quite well. Our group also utilized Google Firebase’s JavaScript SDK for Authentication and Cloud Firestore for user management and database use. Finally, to develop our mobile app, we utilized Adobe Phonegap to build with standard web development technologies.
Challenges we ran into
One challenge our group faced was during the ideation process. Our group formed many quality ideas that were worthy of use. However, while analyzing the ideas we encountered many flaws which caused us to have to reevaluate our options. In order to form the best idea, extensive brainstorming was required which was very time-consuming. Also, we found it difficult to prioritize the screens that needed to be coded over other screens and also faced difficulty in predicting the tediousness of our front-end phase.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our group is quite proud of our web app and mobile app’s design and fluidity of user experience. We are also proud of our use of Firebase, since 50% of our team is new to development and had to learn how to utilize Firebase through the JavaScript SDK from scratch. Finally, what we are likely most proud of is our ability to finish our project in time for submission and have a final project to show for our work.
What we learned
Our group learned many new features for HTML, CSS and JS, but most importantly we learnt how to work well as a team and also how to divide our time and work for the most efficiency. Before we were working as four solo members but once we realized that we were behind schedule we learned that we needed to work as a team in order to finish off our application. We also learned that the divide and conquer method would be the most efficient method to finish off the project. So we divided up the different components of the project and assigned it to each member.
What's next for Universal - A Secure and Powerful Data Transfer Repository
In the future, Universal will be supporting employees and individuals on its web platform as well as its mobile version. This will allow easy access for employees to connect to their respective organizations or places of work. Also, we plan to work on integrations that will allow organizations to analyze and take their customer/employee data from Universal and move it to other analytical and storage software.

This was inspired by people who are stressed out by school, life or just anything in general.
What it does
This animation has several interactive objects and many different animations. Its main purpose is to help people going through a hard time feel better. Since we are in the middle of a pandemic, more and more people are stressed, especially about school since everything is integrating online. They worry that it will become harder, which is where this comes into play. This is like a fidget toy, but instead of spinning, they can click or hover their mouse to see satisfying animations.
How I built it
I built it using Processing, a software sketchbook and coded it using the Processing language.
Challenges I ran into
Some challenges that I ran into were the many bugs, and glitches that found their way into my code. So, I double-checked, and even triple-checked all my code. Finally, I successfully debugged all my code.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Some accomplishments that I'm proud of is how I made all the code join together seamlessly.
What I learned
I learned many things along the way, including some parts of Processing that I didn't comprehend earlier. I learned how to make a button, and check if the mouse is inside something.

Eating Disorders describe illnesses that are characterized by irregular eating habits and severe distress or concern about body weight or shape. Eating disorders are serious conditions related to persistent eating behaviors that negatively impact your health, your emotions and your ability to function in important areas of life. The most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder. EDs are serious but treatable mental illnesses that can affect anyone regardless of gender, age, racial and ethnic identity, sexual orientation or socio-economic background.
We have implemented feasible solutions such as direct chat with the consultant or the emergency call. Moreover, The application enables users to know about the prevention, treatment and chatting options with the consultant with just some clicks now they don't have to look around in different websites and then get a chunk of data from every page and then bind that. Furthermore, they can calculate the daily calories they should eat with the help of our help.
Uniqueness: The app is highly dedicated to eating disorder and there is no such other app present according to our research that contains all the data at one place and specifically connects to the consultant, that what's makes our application unique.
Revenue Generation and Well Being: Because of less awareness about the topic a majority of the population in Canada is unaware of the disorder. So, this could be a good platform for the consultants and patients to connect and discuss this specific issue. A huge number of people can be helped with all the information on their phones.
Applicability: The project showcases various functionalities which are all related to an eating disorder.
**The project is based on the findings of NIED and various sources about eating disorder.

A platform that democratizes access to capital for small businesses via crowdfunding and using smart contracts
Inspiration
Startups founders don't have those connections or profits to get funding and especially in a year full of uncertainties many big investors are scared to invest in small businesses. And not all startups makes million dollars in their beginning years.
Meanwhile, most people are not as rich but want to invest. So we want to build a platform that benefits color businesses (because majority of them are quite small) and Investors both. Startups put their video pitches to help make investor a decision on the startup and investor can make an appointment with the business to know about their future goals before investing.
What it does
fundIt is a an app for small businesses to get crowdfunding by retail investors for equity.
Users can login and authenticate their credentials via Apple/Google/Email
Startups can post data such as PDFs, Images, and Text to supplement their crowdfunding campaign and help investors to make investment decisions
Investors can browse all campaigns via a Tab view
The most unique feature of this platform is the highlighted businesses of the month. Underrepresentation and discrimination is a huge problem in business investments so we want to represent those businesses by having a separate page for them.
Investors can schedule a virtual meeting with the representative of startup that will help investor know about the future plans of the business
Investors can pay as little as $10 for a share in the startup’s equity offered in the crowdfunding campaign
Investors can view their past investments & their total investments on a profile view
Startups can checkout the funds raised from the crowdsourced campaign via Apple/Google Pay to Apple/Google Wallets in a virtual FundIt card

Inspiration
We were inspired by the findings of
an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll
. The poll found that 60% of Americans don’t trust Facebook to protect their personal information, and 82% of respondents said that social media sites do more to waste people’s time than use it well.
Inspired by these stats, we explored ways that social media could be designed to make more efficient use of people’s time, and also increase trustworthiness around personal data usage. We read into the effects of filter bubbles on Facebook, enforced by an opaque algorithm with zero controls given to the user to construct the composition of their social feeds. The more siloed a user, the more profitable they are; the erosion of diversity and the polarisation of societies on partisan lines are good for Facebook’s bottom dollar, so algorithms are imposed in accordance with this profit maxim, knowingly to the detriment of social cohesion in our societies. We knew to solve this we needed to design controls that give every day social media users control over their own algorithm, over their own information supply, and algorithm controls that positively encourage diverse information consumption. Our cofounder Dr Sophie Payne has a PhD in neuroscience and was motivated to design these controls specifically to encourage greater diversity on our social media feeds. That’s how we came up with the first part of our submission ‘Control Your Algorithm’ which we’re submitting under the Human Centric Design Category. The algorithm controls we have designed are tools users can control to reclaim conscious use of social media. Providing a portal for users to schedule the content they consume is the starting point for opening a conversation around digital identity and the types of people we want to be online. That’s what ‘Control Your Algorithm’ is for.
The second part of our submission is about solving social media’s privacy problem. We have spent the last 3 years reporting on the devastating privacy violations of Cambridge Analytica and Facebook on Sky News in the UK -> See the 5 most important TV appearances on privacy rights, Facebook and fake news
here
Privacy rights are human rights. That’s why we designed the DataLake. To solve the privacy problem on social media we read into the privacy preserving features of decentralised technology and found a Decentralised Ledger Technology, Hedera Hashgraph, that could support a social network that was private by design, and that could support a privacy friendly targeted ad system, one that provides a profitable alternative to Facebook’s Real Time Bidding (RTB) model, described by privacy activist Max Schrems as the largest data breach in history. The second part of our submission, under the Ownership of Data category, is therefore the Joyn DataLake. The Joyn DataLake is a decentralised wallet built on Hedera DLT, that provides a portal for informed and explicit consent for personal data usage for users of Joyn Social Media. We want to give citizens control of their privacy; the Joyn DataLake within Joyn Social Media is the interface through which empower citizens to do that.
Finally, via the Joyn DataLake wallets, we are able to redistribute 25% of our ad revenue directly to the user as they consume ads, rewarding them for the value of their data in Joyn Tokens, Joyn Social Media's native cryptocurrency. Users can also buy Joyn Tokens using fiat cash via the wallets we have created. Joyn Tokens can be used to unlock content from journalists, social influencers, and distributed to social causes on Joyn Social Media. This content monetisation system means social influencers can make 20-40x more via direct monetisation of content on Joyn Social Media than on Facebook ($100k-200k for 1 million unlocks, as opposed to $5k for 1 million views on Facebook.). This ‘Crypto Content & Causes Ecosystem’ is the third part of our submission under the category ‘New Capitalism’ and is what we believe can lead to the mass organic migration of social influencers from facebook to Joyn when we launch.
What it does
We have built 2 things.
Firstly, a ‘custom algorithm’ feature for the Joyn social media feed. This allows users to take control of the composition of their Joyn feed by adjusting the proportion of posts from different types of account. For example, users can specify that they want their feed to contain 50% posts from news and politics accounts, 10% from influencer accounts, and so on. Typical social media apps such as Facebook don’t give users any explicit control over the composition of their feeds, because they are designed to be as attention grabbing as possible, and keep users scrolling for as long as possible. We have designed feed controls to allow users to make conscious decisions about their social media usage.
Secondly, we have built a user profile and ‘wallet’ on the Hedera Hashgraph ledger that can hold a social media user’s personal information securely, and also send and receive Joyn Tokens, the native cryptocurrency for Joyn. Users are also able to specify their preferences for the ads that they see on their Joyn feed. This user wallet is critical for the business model that we envision for Joyn Social Media. We serve users privacy protecting ads, and we redistribute a portion of our ad revenue to users in Joyn Tokens. Uses can then spend their Joyn Tokens supporting causes such as charities, or supporting content creators on Joyn (like a Patreon model).
How we built it
Sanchit Pandey built ‘Control Your Algorithm’. Sophie Payne designed the UI and created the prototype which you can view
here
.
Challenges we ran into
It was difficult aligning smart contract generation with an easy to understand privacy preference logic for users. We iterated 3 times until the UX made sense.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Functioning algorithm controls and functioning smart contracts with live crypto wallets on Hedera Hashgraph.
What we learned
That the algorithm controls are potentially the highest impact feature we can deliver in comparison to current social networks.
What's next for Joyn Social Media
Short term: Developing our fact-checking features and our human-centric content curation and discovery features
We’re seeking $600k investment to launch a 50k user beta test. We have applied to Betaworks Ventures Fix the Internet Accelerator, and hope to move to New York if accepted!

Inspiration
Earlier in the summer, we participated in the
Grant for the Web x DEV hackathon
, where we first learned about
Web Monetization
. It spurred our excitement about Web Monetization as a healthier model for making money on the web! If you’re curious,
here’s an article
on our submission for that hackathon (and the
Github repo
if you want to dive deeper).
Web Monetization is a new technology that we believe empowers creators on the web financially, while also respecting users of the web — particularly in the areas of flexibility and privacy. It is an alternative to ads (which track your personal data) and since the concept is in its infancy, there's lots of opportunity to develop various applications of it across industries.
In terms of technology, the
Web Monetization JavaScript API
along with a
Web Monetization Provider
browser extension (such as
Coil
), allows payment to be streamed between a visitor and the site/creator.
We see the Web Monetization technology and community as a great candidate to "fix the internet", tackling the monetization space for online creators as well as the browsing experience for users. The values of the Web Monetization and those of the backing organizations strive to build a more open, fair and inclusive web environment. We want to be a part of that!
What it does
A Web Monetization Story is a website that seeks to help creators understand how simple it is to enable Web Monetization on their own sites. The Story of Auden and Chicken aims to engage users and help them relate to — and understand the purpose of — Web Monetization. It includes a simple drag-and-drop tutorial to show the basic steps needed to get Web Monetization running on a site. We want to make the tutorial easy and fun, and ensure it is easily understood by those who are less technical.
A Web Monetization Story starts off with an introduction to Auden, an androgynous creator who recently came across Web Monetization and integrated it into their blog. As a digital creator, Auden is always looking for new ways to support themself financially. At the same time, Auden wants to make sure that readers have a good experience on the site, so integrating ads into Auden's site didn't sit well with them. Web Monetization was especially appealing to Auden, not only because it provides a new stream of revenue, but also because the community surrounding the concept strongly values openness, fairness and inclusivity.
Following their personal introduction, Auden provides step-by-step instructions on how to integrate Web Monetization onto a site. For each step, a puzzle piece containing simple code can be dragged and dropped by a user into the sample website html provided. Auden provides personal anecdotes about their process in enabling Web Monetization on their site, as well as context and reasoning for simple code that is added. The tutorial starts off with the basics needed to enable Web Monetization (adding the monetization meta tag) and progresses into a further example on how to customize a visitor’s experience on the site using the Web Monetization JavaScript API (showing a “thank you” note to visitors supporting the site via Web Monetization).
The main Web Monetization concepts introduced in the tutorial include: monetization
<meta>
tag, payment pointer, Web Monetization Provider, Web Monetization Wallet,
document.monetization
object,
‘monetizationprogress’
event and event listener, and showing/hiding content based on whether a visitor is streaming payment to the site through Web Monetization.
At the end of the tutorial, Auden presents a handful of resources that a user can leverage to continue on with Web Monetization and join the Web Monetization community. Users can also download or copy the sample code and view the sample code on Github.
Finally, Auden closes out the story with a thank you page and a user can choose to start the story again.
Overall, our project provides an interactive story and tutorial that introduces creators to Web Monetization — guiding them through how easy it is to start monetizing a website using Web Monetization.
How we built it
Our hackathon ideation and design thinking process took place on MURAL; planning and organization throughout the hackathon was done on Notion; and our site design and assets/illustrations were put together on Figma.
For the website implementation, we used vanilla JavaScript, HTML and CSS, leveraging the Open Source
Dragula JavaScript API
for the drag and drop functionality.
Over our last few projects together, we had established a remote collaboration process that works well for us. We were able to reuse this process again, which helped us ramp up quickly for this hackathon. To organize the work, we created issues on Github and aimed to assign an equal amount of work between the two of us. We video called on an almost daily basis to update each other on our progress and to hold some “hack sessions”.
Challenges we ran into
We highlight three cases where completing a task took more time and energy than we expected:
It took us some time and energy to find a library which enabled the drag and drop functionality we were looking for. We tried two libraries before sticking with Dragula. In the end, the most basic library was the most effective.
For our video demo, we recorded our voices and screens and got to editing. Once the editing was complete, we exported the final cut, but were frustrated to find that the video was jittery and full of visual artifacts. We found that nothing could be done to fix the problem in the editing program we were using, and we were forced to re-edit the video in another program. Unfortunately, the video quality was still unideal after re-editing and re-exporting using different software.
When Betahack was extended by ten days, we agreed to not increase the scope of the project. Despite our agreement, the scope of the project did increase significantly as we got more and more excited about integrating different features and adding content. We ended up taking full advantage of the remaining 10 days of the hackathon. This resulted in a more comprehensive project, but we failed to manage scope creep.
When a task takes more time to complete than expected, there are a few possible actions we can take in response:
Adjust plans based on the actual time it took to complete the task, readjusting the scope so that we don’t increase the total development time of the project.
Adjust plans based on the actual time it took to complete the task, without considering possible increases to the total development time of the project.
Do not adjust plans.
Both actions 2 & 3 can result in the project taking longer than originally planned. We will work on finding strategies to manage our response to tasks that take longer than expected to complete.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of our teamwork, coordination, and communication. As mentioned earlier, we’ve spent time over the last few months working on our (remote) collaboration process. We continue to make adjustments as necessary and have found a good balance between staying on top of things and having fun creating.
We have been using and tweaking a design process over our past few projects that helps us generate ideas, get aligned on which ideas we care about, make decisions, and persevere when things seem tough. Some of the tools we use in our design process are:
Writing down as many ideas as possible on (virtual) sticky notes. We follow up by grouping the ideas and/or anonymously rating the ideas. This process helps us generate and organize our ideas.
Once we have ideas, we narrow them down to a top 3 and list their pros and cons. We may also discuss and document what we each want to get out of the project. This process helps us make a decision on what to work on, and to align our values, communication, and thought processes around that idea.
We have found it valuable to document design issues and ideas at the beginning of the project, and as they come up throughout the project. This documentation helps us plan, communicate and stay organized.
Finally, we were proud of being part of the Betahack and Web Monetization communities during this hackathon:
We had an empowering conversation with Reggie, the founder of eternal.plus. Reggie listened to our ideas, discussed interesting and important topics in the space we are working on, and gave his insight and understanding. We came away from this conversation with the idea of creating a story and a character to better explain Web Monetization to online creators.
We reached out to
Coil
, who gave us each free use of the Coil extension for a month. It feels great to have their support, no matter how big or small!
We appreciated the discussion and feedback from the other Betahack participants as well as the judges. Thanks Betahack community!
What we learned
We spent the majority of our time writing (and inevitably learning about) front-end code, developing a character, designing assets, and writing documentation. We want to highlight three interesting things we learned specific to this project:
The Dragula Drag and Drop JavaScript Library
. Dragula is simple to use and learn, and enabled us to implement a core feature of our project with just a few lines of code. There's not much more to be said here, we're just glad we learned about Dragula!
The importance of story when communicating a new idea
. In our discussions with Reggie, we touched on the idea of using a story with a character in order to explain Web Monetization to people who are new to it. People can follow along with a story and can identify with a character. Our character, Auden, is a creator who cares about Web Monetization — we hope their story can resonate with other creators!
Focusing on the problem and the idea in hackathons
. In many hackathons, the concept you create is the most important part. In order to develop and communicate your concept most effectively, it is best to prioritize: understanding the underlying problem, developing the concept, and lastly creating a prototype and presentation for the purposes of supporting and illustrating the concept.
What's next
We want to share our project with online creators so that they can get started with Web Monetization! We are also very interested in hearing their feedback so that we can continue to improve A Web Monetization Story.
We plan on writing a blog post on
DEV.to
to share this project with the developer community and sharing the project on social media to help increase exposure to Web Monetization.
During the hackathon, we
posted on the Grant for the Web forum
to ask for feedback from the community. The grant program team has asked us to touch base with them once we’re done. They want to use our project to help onboard creators to Web Monetization. We’re really excited to work with them!
Our overarching goal is to help build the web monetization community so that we can have important discussions and innovate around monetizing content online, developing solutions that are mutually beneficial to both creators and those consuming content. Continuing on from Betahack, we’ll take what we’ve learned in this hackathon (dev process, feedback from mentors/judges/fellow participants, “fix the internet” discussions) to help build more ways for people to join the Internet Health movement through Web Monetization. We’ll continue to seek out similar communities and efforts (and hackathons!), in hopes of further building out the “let’s fix the internet” mentality.

Decentralized publishing new social media platforms and tools
A privacy first, decentralized, social network
A secure distributed platform for content creation / photo management
Alternative social network: re-build and re-booting, distributed network?
What it does
A plug-in for users to take true ownership of their content. User sign-up and go through
1) Signature verification (on Ethereum)
2) KYC (not in this demo, but could be implemented with SaaS)
How I built it
Use the create-react-app with Redux template. I end up did not need to use Redux.
I have integrated Fortmatic for user auth, because it generates an Ethereum wallet automatically, and the private key is NEVER owned other than the user. Once a user sign up, they will need to go through a "Verify Signature" process where the signed message is saved. For every other social media post, they need to verify the signature before they can send out the message.
Challenges I ran into
Not owning private key is quite challenging since I can no longer sign messages on behalf of the user. But this is the idea where users own ALL control of their data and posting rights.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
The UI is actually decent for an engineer. ;-)
What I learned
KYC integration is tedious. And many people may not want to go through it with providing SSN.

10,479 | https://devpost.com/software/moneystream-earn-by-watching-ads | What it does
MoneyStream Ad Streaming will pay users to watch an advertisement. The idea would be to make it a component inside a web monetized platform. This will allow users to earn money on the platform (if they so choose) and presumably the users will then turn around and spend their earnings inside the platform.
Allowing users to earn money from advertising could be an effective way of onboarding people of modest means onto a monetized platform. Making people pay a subscription to get into a monetized platform is a first world solution that may not be possible for a large part of the world. Paying users to watch an ad is an alternative.
Inspiration
The concept is very similar to Brave Rewards, which has been very popular. I needed to build a simple demo to prove that MoneyStream can accomplish something similar.
How I built it
The ad streaming demo is built with plain HTML and javascript. The web site communicates with a cloud wallet back end to authorize payments to the user based on their interaction with content - in this case just watching an advertisement.
Challenges I ran into
There were technical challenges to "reverse" the flow of the money stream - to pay out from the web site to the user. I had to implement a cloud wallet to hold the funds that will be paid out to users during the advertising campaign. Also I had to learn how to control a youtube video embedded into an iframe on a web page.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I was happy to be able to accomplish a minimal demo that lets users earn bitcoin by watching an ad. The demo is live on mainnet. It pays out to users with real money.
What I learned
Monetized platforms will need to consider paid advertising to users very carefully. There will need to be a way for users to opt-in to receiving ads. One idea is to create a reputation system for advertisers and then allow users to reject ads from "low quality" advertisers. The user must always be in control of their browsing experience.
An important point was raised in the discussions in regards to how to keep bad actors off the platform - and this could apply to advertisers as well. Appealing to authority (government, snopes, southern law center) to ban users and even advertisers from your platform is less than ideal. I believe that a reputation system implemented with money and blockchain could be a preferred solution. Low quality advertisers and bad actors would find it more difficult to get their ads in front of people. The goal should be to make it expensive for bad actors to operate on your platform and would be a preferred method over an outright ban on certain users and advertisers. Advertisers will be incentivised to maintain a good reputation in order to reduce their advertising costs and their overall cost of doing business.
What's next for MoneyStream
Many do not yet realize the role that web monetization will play in building the new internet. There will be a complete inversion of control - a reversal of the current situation that we find on the internet today. With web monetization, the user now owns their browser session - which is to say that by paying for interaction with web content the user now owns their participation within that interaction.
MoneyStream will build tools for the 7 billion people on the planet. The tech companies will be the paying customer of the 7 billion. Big Data analytics firms need human input for their algorithms. Once users own their interactions with technology using MoneyStream then companies will need to pay the 7 billion for that information. Users will own their data and derive the benefits of that ownership for the rest of their lives.
This is the vision for MoneyStream.

Inspiration
Times have changed, we are now in the 21-century, yet we're still using the age old password system, hackers now have state-of-the-art tools to steal our passwords, we also need better ways to protect ourselves, we need to be a few steps ahead of the hackers. The fact that accounts with traditional passwords will be hacked is a matter of "when" not "if", they are just one hidden camera/keylogger/phishing attempt away from being compromised. Let's wake up to the cruel reality, rather than pretending not to see it by playing ostrich, hackers will see what you don't want to see [ weakness in traditional passwords ] and take advantage of it, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link ! Let's face it and fix this weak link !
As of July 2020, there are 15 Billion Credentials Currently Up for Grabs on Hacker Forums [
https://threatpost.com/15-billion-credentials-currently-up-for-grabs-on-hacker-forums/157247/
] . World population is now 7.8 Billion, if you take out half of it from poor countries that don't have a lot of computers, there will be around 4 Billion left in developed countries with computers and online accounts, so that means averagely speaking, we all have 3 or 4 accounts breached !
In this video [
https://www.youtube.com/embed/moTGl6NZk9o?autoplay=1&start=1014
] you can see how hackers intercepted user passwords from far away, which seems like a safe distance from the user, yet the hackers were able to figure out user passwords by looking at their finger movements and analyze the data to steal the passwords.
What it does
GATE is a revolutionary password/passcode entry process that retains account security even in situations where potential intruders witness the entries being made. Based on user password choice, server renders password entry buttons/tokens on a screen, rendering multiple characters per button. When button selection is made by a user there is no way for an observer to know the actual password due to the multiple characters per button. This makes GATE an interception-resistant authentication system which increases passcode strength exponentially.
Each subsequent rendering of buttons by the server will be unique, based on the GATE algorithm, ensuring button selection cannot simply be repeated based on button location in order to infiltrate an account. Due to the rendering process required in order to present password buttons to a user, a server has to already know the password of the user in order to render an appropriate array of buttons. Therefore bogus or malicious servers will not be able to render an appropriate array of buttons to a user, which allows the user to recognize whether or not the screen he is looking at is being controlled by the appropriate body. In traditional password system, server authenticates user, yet with GATE, user also authenticates server, therefore defeat phishing by design.
GATE can use short and easy to remember passcodes to defeat peeking, wiretapping, keylogging, phishing and dictionary attack without the restrictions of lowercase, uppercase, numbers & special characters !
Fixed passwords have the advantage of easy to remember, one time passwords have the advantage of hard to hack, GATE passcode is a fixed passcode to the user, but from the hackers' perspective, it changes every time, GATE passcodes have the best of both worlds, short [ 3 to 6 digit ] and easy to remember, yet secure and hard to hack.
How I built it
Java , Android
Challenges I ran into
Learn the Android system.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I've received 2 US patents, one for GATE authentication [ user login ], another one for GATE encryption [ massage/data encryption ], and I've also applied for PCT international patents in 50 nations.

Inspiration
We noticed how our common form of communication had transitioned back to medieval times, with textual based conversations. We had an amazing invention called the telephone that allowed us to have meaningful conversations, now the common norm is a form of texting. We want to bring voice back.
What it does
We connect two callers (Voxers), over a voice call at their mutual availability. We do not exchange information of each user to each other, but instead, provide them a secure and private link. As it is right now, we do not filter the users based on their characteristics but do allow them to join "channels" - or groups they're interested to be part of.
We have a "Slack" app integration in the works, which will allow team members to have spontaneous conversations within their existing organizations. The goal with this feature is to increase engagement within an organization and build comradery amongst the teammates.
How I built it
The app was "pretotyped" with AirTable serving as the database. We onboarded beta testers from our static website, using their availability matched them others callers with our backend application that was built on Nest JS, and sent them SMS and email notifications using Twilio and Sendgrid respectively.
Challenges I ran into
Painstakingly matching the users manually using pivot tables. It took a while but we were able to automate this.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Our average call lengths in our private beta were over 30 minutes long, with the record being over 2 hours.
What I learned
You don't need to be a full-stack developer to build an application. Coming from a CS background myself, I'm proud to say that I used a conjunction of multiple no-code tools to accelerate the progress of our mission.

My biggest inspiration was to help people who are unable to spread their amazing knowledge to this world because they feel discomfort in revealing their identities. This will give them a chance to spread knowledge freely. I also wanted to contribute to the booming media and entertainment industry with a new innovation.
What it does
It is capable of generating a face of your choice based on a multitude of parameters like 'smiling', 'sunglasses'. Creativity is the limit here! So you can create a model of your choice. Then you can use the famous deep fake algorithm to morph the face you just generated into moving the way you want it to.
How I built it
It is a combination of open-source repositories and custom add ons to make it suitable for my purposes. I also used Python, TensorFlow and streamlit to make it a fully functional web app.
Challenges I ran into
combining the various parts of the app ensuring that nothing breaks and the user experience remains consistent and intact.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Making a web app out of the deepfake and face gan algorithms.

Inspiration
There are two inspirations that led me to my product idea.
First of all, I believe that social media is way too centralized. Only a few people at the top control the flow of information, which leads to every site becoming more or less a hivemind. I think that everyone should be able to find their niche online.
Secondly, there are a number of web widgets out there (e.g. Disqus and vBulletin) that offer social-media like functionality to websites. However, each one only really serves a single purpose and it's hard to turn your website into a full social media experience with just these tools.
What it does
UniWeb is a whole suite of widgets that can create an almost completely decentralized social network. Examples of possible widgets include:
Blogs
Forums
Comment sections
User bios
Imageboards
Video sharing
Utilities for moderators to control content and for users to contact moderators
The responsibility of managing content on each site will fall on the site owners and moderators. This means that every site can be personalized and all UniWeb users can find their niche. Hosts can chose which widgets to add and who has moderator permissions. Each Uniweb-integrated site can become it's own miniature social network.
How will Uniweb "fix the internet"?
Decentralization is key. The point of UniWeb is to create a social network governed entirely by its users. Only UniWeb hosts can manipulate what users see, not a small body of admins. What this will hopefully lead to is less groupthink, less censorship and less corporate astroturfing.
How I built it
With Next.js, a React framework that makes building websites incredibly simple.
Challenges I ran into
I basically had no webdev experience. Before the hackathon I could make an okay-looking static website. This hackathon forced me to learn the ropes of responsive UI using React.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Learning the tools to the point where I could create a decent-looking site. While I only scratched the surface of frontend webdev during this hackathon I still made a lot of progress and I plan to continue gathering essential web design knowledge.
What I learned
How to work under a tight schedule. How to prioritize certain tasks over others. How to network and market myself.
What's next for UniWeb
For me, the purpose of this hackathon was more to grow my skills rather to develop a real product. However, I believe the idea for UniWeb is a good one and I'd like to develop it further when I have the time.

Lo que dijimos al principio en Espanol
Al menos una cuarta parte de las mujeres sufren acoso sexual en el lugar de trabajo. Sin embargo, tienen miedo de denunciarlo o de buscar ayuda. Mi hermana se incorporará pronto a la fuerza laboral y quiero que se sienta cómoda informando casos en los que se siente incómoda, así que mi amigo y yo desarrollamos HearMeOut. HearMeOut ayuda a las personas en posiciones vulnerables a denunciar rápidamente los casos de discriminación de género. Si hay una disputa, los usuarios pueden enviar un correo electrónico con información sobre la queja y las pruebas que deben eliminar. Servimos como litigantes hasta que se resuelva o vaya a los tribunales si no hay compromiso. Ofrecemos varias funciones multidimensionales para ofrecer una experiencia integral: un mapa de calor con puntos críticos de discriminación (sede de la empresa o sucursales específicas, que actualmente está poblada por datos de muestra), una herramienta de informes, una información de noticias, peticiones y asesoramiento, y una forma para ver las quejas existentes. Aquí hay una demostración:

En el caso de que uno sienta que están siendo retratados de manera inexacta, habrá un sistema de gobernanza donde se pueden presentar pruebas y, en base a eso, un informe puede retirarse de la vista del público.
Que hace
HearMeOut consta de 3 partes principales: un sistema de informes (tanto para eliminaciones como para alegaciones), visualización de quejas (a través de una lista y mapas de calor) e información para que los usuarios puedan buscar asesoramiento sobre salud mental, asesoramiento legal y poder contribuir con datos. a encuestas o estudios que permitan a la sociedad conocer mejor la magnitud de la discriminación.
La primera página de noticias permite a los usuarios ver información sobre la discriminación en general, para generar conciencia.
La segunda página de quejas, muestra un feed de todas las quejas enviadas por los usuarios en toda la aplicación, donde pueden ver los detalles de las quejas y tomar decisiones basadas en esos datos.
La tercera página permite a los usuarios enviar quejas con respecto a cosas que pueden haber encontrado en su espacio de trabajo, como comentarios obscenos u otras formas de discriminación, que luego serán validados por otros usuarios en tiempo real en la página del Visor de quejas.
La cuarta página es un foro que permite a los usuarios consultar a otros miembros de la comunidad sobre lo que les está sucediendo, qué hacer en situaciones y recursos generales para consultar a otros similares a usted.
La última página es un mapa de calor que acumula todas las ubicaciones de las quejas escritas en un mapa de calor completo y fácilmente comprensible.
Cómo lo construí
Creamos la aplicación usando React Native, News API y Firebase.
Desafíos que encontré
Completamos este proyecto en un tiempo casi récord, mientras seguíamos ocupándonos de muchos problemas.
Nos ocupamos de muchos problemas relacionados con el sistema de compilación y las bibliotecas que estaba usando.
Logros de los que estoy orgulloso
Esta fue la primera vez que Vijay (mi) creación de una aplicación para ReactNative.

English
Inspiration
Discrimination is commonplace for gender minorities. Whether it be in the workplace, while at the restaurant, or while at school, they can be constantly misgendered or harassed simply for being themselves. HearMeOut is an app that seeks to combat that. HearMeOut allows users to make reports and upload it to a database. In the case that one feels that they are being inaccurately portrayed, there will be a governance system where evidence can be submitted, and based on that, a report can get retracted from public view.
What it does
HearMeOut consists of 3 main parts: a reporting system (for both removals and allegations), complaint viewing (via a list and heatmaps), and information for users to be able to seek mental health counseling, legal counseling, and be able to contribute data to surveys or studies that allow society to gain a better understanding of the magnitude of discrimination.
The first news page allows users to view information in regards to discrimination in general, to bring about awareness.
The second Complaints page, shows a feed of all the complaints submitted by users all across the app where they are able to view the complaints details and make decision based on that data.
The third page allows users to submit complaints regarding things they may have encountered in their workspace, such as foul comments or other forms of discrimination, which then later would be avalibake to other users in realtime in the Complaints Viewer page.
The fourth page is a forum which allows users to be able to consult others in the community about what is happening to them, what to do in situations and overall resource to consult others similar to you with.
The last page is a heat map which accumulates all the locations of the complaints written into a comprehensive and easily understandable heat map.
How I built it
We built the application using React Native, News API and Firebase.
Challenges I ran into
We completed this project in almost record time, while still dealing with many issues.
We dealt with a lot of issues with regards to the build system and libraries I was using.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
This was Vijay (my) first time creating an application for ReactNative.
What's next for HearMeOut
To launch this to the public.

Inspiration
Inspiration Another black swan event has made many sectors in Indonesia came into a crisis. It is a global event and yet the covid-19 leave the world without any other option than just to live in a new norm irrevocably. Everyone choose to stay at home or to work from home. This has led tourism in Indonesia and the businesses went in to a devastating situation struggling to survive. Some of them are able to survive because they have a well-managed company or they are relying from the stimulus package from the government. But some others just could not survive.
In spite of the gruesome situation that we are facing today, the uprising movement has evolved. It taking into a form of spirits of empathy and solidarity as human being. The challenges that inspires me is when we want to reach out to others we demand a technology that is reliable, transparent, secured, efficient and offers an opportunity for innovations.
What it does
The blockchain technology offers greater transparency, unrivalled immutability, better security, more efficient and very less competition with rooms for more innovations. Great for value preposition for investment in technology. In Indonesia, the blockchain platform Tokenin would be the first of its kind to offer KYC risk approach when obtaining the clients' data through the app powered by Flutter that will be easy to access for download. It is a vertical integrated business model from the think tank company on the upstream advocates the concerning issues social, political strategy, economics, technology, environment and culture, towards the downstream projects with huge market cap and opportunities in mutual beneficial relationship. Tokenin will be focusing in the business development and collaborative works with the entrepreneurs. Therefore the app will provide the KYC for the collaborators, a marketing funnel for the crypto gaming and also the marketplace for the crypto tokens.
How I built it
Tokenin is the blockchain platform for minting the tokens was built with smartcontract by dApp and Enjin SDK. TokeninApp was built using Flutter and Si Bejo Crypto Gaming was built using Unity.
Challenges I ran into
The challenges came from the man power and time management. Crypto gaming is also will be interesting the future.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
This would be totally new idea. Uncharted water lies ahead and looking forward to connect with the communities how to give a bigger impact for environment.
What I learned
That the blockchain technology is quite new and not so much precedent that I could refer to for study.
What's next for Tokenin App Blockchain Platform & Si Bejo Crypto Gaming
A community-based project leaning towards the sustainability and environment would be much anticipated and really looking forward if there is collaborative partners that could share same mission and vision.

10,479 | https://devpost.com/software/mixpose-for-yoga-fitness-smb | Inspiration
We are building a yoga platform because yoga has helped our families get out of depression. As a side benefit, it has made us more fit and flexible. Throughout COVID-19, people are required to social distance and loneliness has become a big problem. We want to empower instructors to be able to produce better quality content and allow people to do yoga at home, and if possible, with friends in aid of creating community and battling loneliness.
Gym, Yoga studios are considered high risk areas, which is affecting a lot of small businesses and people's jobs. We want to digitize the yoga and fitness SMB by providing them tools to create the best quality content, and thus will provide the best experience for the users.
What it does
We are building a live stream yoga class on Android, iOS and web application. What makes our app special and unlike other live streaming apps is we are using A.I. pose tracking and stick figures to provide a feedback loop from instructors to users. This way students are able to see each other, and instructors can view all of the students. Phase 1 will include us hosting the classes to stabilize the platform, phase 2 will allow yoga teachers to run their own yoga businesses on our platform.
How I built it
We used Agora’s Real Time Engagement Video SDK. Then we are running TensorFlow A.I. pose detection on top. Once we get the skeleton points, we can then draw the stick figure through Augmented Reality. Since you can’t inference on top of the HTML video element, We did this is by creating a canvas to redraw all the livestream, then running the inference on top of the canvas itself to draw the detection. After the detection is done, we then draw the stick figure through the A.R. overlay on top of user’s live feed video in real time.
We are also giving choices for users to either join the public channels, their own private channel or create a channel for their friends to take the yoga class together. The instructors will be subscribed to all the channels. This way students can protect their privacy from other students while still allowing the instructor to guide them. Because we are using Agora SDK across all platforms, the Android user can actually now see the web users and vice versa, with instructors seeing everyone indistinguishably.
Challenges I ran into
Getting A.I. to run on top of live video feed from Agora’s Video SDK proved to be a little more difficult than we thought, but we were able to solve the problem by redrawing the video feed onto a canvas then doing the inference on top of the canvas itself. We have documented our solution on
https://www.hackster.io/mixpose/running-ai-pose-detection-on-top-of-agora-video-sdk-d812ce
Another challenge was that some users don’t really want to turn on their camera, so we created a private mode to try to accommodate their privacy concerns via Agora’s SDK.
Accomplishments that I’m proud of
We’ve launched web app on
https://mixpose.com
and we are now testing it with actual users. This is much more scarier because we want to ensure our users have the best experiences using our application.
After pushing the Android Minimum Viable Product into Google Play, we were able to receive our first few purchases.
Another accomplishment we are very proud of is that we actually have the license to use the yoga music in our classes and we are using it in the demo video. :)
What I learned
A lot, from how to stream high quality video to how to teach yoga instructors on how to use latest software. Other things we learned were how to train A.I. models for yoga poses, and how users are much less forgiving when something goes wrong, especially if they are paying.
What’s next for MixPose Web
We are ready to take this idea forward and turn it into a startup. 3 of us Co-Founders have quit our jobs to working towards it full steam ahead. Try out one of our class at

How the idea was formed
Years ago, my father was cut off from his pension because he was a Baha'i and had to work for a living.
Also in those days when the Iran-Iraq war was over, some Baha'i families were displaced from their village in
Sisan
and other cities and came to our city.
My father and a few others started making high-consumption sterile bandages
They used young women and girls in the family to help pack, do the packing
work at home
, and help their families pay for the commission.
My father used to deliver the bandages and raw materials to them by car and receive the ready packages and ...
first question
Those years have passed, but the experience raises this question in mind:
Can't we reduce the economic pressure on the society by cooperating and participating together now that it has eliminated many viruses?
Can a new set of economic society be created by transforming jobs and applying skills?
Inspiration
Years later, I started programming and worked for a company that had training and game development and was a startup.
But that company did not last more than 2 years and closed down and I became unemployed
It was here that I tried to get started and created this website in the hope that it would be noticed and the contributions would start.
What it does
A registration site where people announce their skills and abilities
Skills are tested for a new context
And the new platform is developed and promoted with the participation of people
What we learned
We learn cooperation
Also participation and cooperation
Illuminate the light of the union of the horizons

Inspiration
Just imagine that an honest Producer of goods wants to educate Consumers about a new product, its ingredients, distinctive features, as well as to send some video-advice. Usual consumer desicion-making time is 2-5 sec., the majority of people need some appealing arguments to pay more attention and learn about the product at the decision-making point. How to motivate them?
Give some perks! Send 20-30-50 cents directly to their mobile wallets immediately after watching the video.
Allocate more reward for healthier products thus strengthening consumer loyalty.
Banks are not involved. Retail chains are not involved. Only direct communication between the Producer and the Consumer.
What it does
A mobile app enabling producers of goods to instantly reward consumers for reading product info and watching short video on their mobile phones. More rewards for healthier products!
Changing consumer motivation and behavioral model.
How I built it
Pretty quickly in several weeks.
Just because my team found my idea pretty cool, and I had a clear vision on the app architecture... And we were extremely motivated: we want to learn about healthy products, see the difference, and get perks from Producers whose goods we usually buy.
Challenges I ran into
Due to COVID-19 I can't freely communicate with the team, so everything is done without leaving the kitchen.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Just in few weeks I have a fully-functioning mobile app that changes the way how a producer will communicate with consumers globally and build loyalty to healthier products.
What I learned
Build a fully-functioning app first. Don't waste your time for ppt. presentations, the web-site, and establishing a legal entity: not any Producer will pay for it. They want to see a fully-functioning app.
What's next for PerkMeUp
To create the polygon version and implement more complex logic in the smart contract allocating rewards based on multiple factors important for the consumer, motivating sensible product choice and building loyalty.
