Inspiration
Our idea is inspired with the idea of making it possible for homeless people to easily find the nearest warm bed.
What it does
Home Fly allows users to type in an address and it will return the list of nearest homeless shelters. We have a Twilio account set up to be able to text an address to our server and it will automatically return the nearest shelter's information.
How I built it
We built it with the Meteor framework which allows us to utilize MongoDB for data storage. The rest was written in Javascript, HTML, and CSS.
Challenges I ran into
One of the biggest challenges we ran into was efficiently managing our time. We had to cut out some great features that we would have loved to implement - we will be sure to add these over the course of time!
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We're most proud of the fact that we have text message integration. Soon enough we would like every user to have the text message functionality!
What I learned
We learned more about the Meteor framework.
What's next for Home Fly
Coming soon...
