Project Description

OneJob is a hybrid application for both iOS and Android devices. The purpose of the application is to act as a medium between people who are looking for someone to do a small one time job such as helping them move, lawn care, dog sitting, babysitting, tutoring, and many more jobs with people who are offering those services. Another goal of the application is to be community driven, meaning users will rate each other when one provides a job for the other. The person seeking someone for a job will create a post with details about what the job is, the expected price, date, and the duration and then other people who can fulfill that service at the specified time will bid against other people. The job provider will then be able to view each bidders profile and the rate they offered and then pick who they want to fulfill their service.

Technology

The application was developed using the Ionic hybrid mobile application framework for Cordova, so web technologies such as HTML, CSS and Javascript with AngularJs were used to develop the application. Instead of developing a backend and setting up a database we decided to use Parse, which is a mBAAS. This allowed us to simply do the data access from the front-end and then letting Parse handle querying and storing the data.

Challenges

The scope of the project was really large and we knew this going in so not all essential features were fully developed.

The Future

We are considering working on this project after the Hackathon to continue developing it as a team. We believe that our application could have potential. Although, there is competition out there that provides a similar experience to our application, they have shortcomings and/or are not widely used by the public.
