Inspiration

When it came to the development of StraySAFE, our goal was to aspire to create a unique system that enables environmental sustainability for pet owners and the safe keeping of their household pets. We were shocked to find limited resources available for those who have to experience the stress of losing a pet or being endangered by an animal. Our team brought our heads together and developed a system that is user-friendly and can be emplaced for all pet owners that may be across the globe.

What it does

It is a Pet monitoring system, that allows you to enlist missing pets, and allows you to keep track of your pet when someone reports finding it in the community. Along with animal control, this website raises awareness in the pet community about missing pets. According to our statistics done via MatLab in the diagram below, we found the need for the existence of this website as the statistics show the urgency of pets going missing.

How we built it

Front end: used HTML, CSS, and Javascript to create the layout of the website Back end: we used local storage as a way to store account and pet data on the web and use that data to access the website

Challenges we ran into

We did our best effort attempted to work efficiently and effectively. But this did leave for some treacherous obstacles for us to overcome. One of the largest issues was stylizing the website with CSS, this took a decent amount of time and gave us some technical issues as well, due to our goal of ours to create a clean and user-friendly UI. The other obstacle occurred in the backend part of the process, we experienced some issues.

What we learned

The overall project took an extensive amount of time and is quite ambitious which could cause future developments. As such were able to acquire a handful of skills, both technically and collaboratively. This includes being able to manage time between programming and discussing conceptual ideas and design choices. We also acquired a method in effectively debugging code blocks, alongside strengthing our understanding of frontend and back-end languages. We were able to find fixes and workarounds through trial and error and peer analysis. By far one of the biggest learning achievements comes behind organizational skills to tackle an obstacle or idea in the sufficient matter, considering all possible ideas and including everyone's share of input. Our philosophy is that of simple nature, in order to achieve a goal all parties must be engaged and respected for the aspiration of successful development. To become stronger developers means to become better assets to a team workspace.

What's next for StraySAFE

The creation of StraySAFE holds as a project that can witness multiple changes/improvements given the correct amount of skills and time. We wish the further our developing skills in HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc. The goal of entering this hackathon was to be able to come up with a unique concept and be able to complete our vision in the time given to us, plus the opportunity to express our skills in competition with other teams. After the event, we will continue to integrate new ideas and concepts, such as "Animal Tracker" which will allow the user to be able to see a marker on a map with the general radius of the last known siting of the missing animal. This alongside developing an actual usable website for all pet owners and people alike to be able to use, who knows how big a small idea can become?
