THE OPPORTUNITY
I joined a Hackaton at Google Campus Tel Aviv. The challenge was to develop an app that brought solutions for people living in Tel Aviv. We had 24h to develop it.
THE IDEA
During 2016 a considerable number of terrorist stabbings and shootings happened in Israel and in Tel Aviv. After the news spread about the attacks, all phones would be vibrating in Whatsapp groups, Facebook feeds as everyone wanted to know if their loved ones were ok. There is already a solution within \facebook that notifies the statuses of profiles, setting it as marked as safe. Still, this function could be developed further, considering a faster, more responsive and mobile friendly approach.
MY ROLE
As a junior coder during this 24h I developed the mock up and mainly frontend (HTML/CSS and JavaScript).
