  Wildernez

Inspiration 💡

Our inspiration stems from our aim to provide a voice to those who we could not understand. We wanted to bridge the gap between humans and animals across the globe, to save them from the side effects from our own actions and instill a love for them in our hearts.

What it does ⚙️

WIldernez at it's core is a social app aimed to provide users to directly contribute to various animal rights organizations, host or join campaigns and learn more about them by posting content on it. Communuities of various habitats act as the first filter to narrow down preferences.

How we built it ⚒️

The front-end was built with a combination of Bulma and Bootsrap while the backend was done using Javascript, Nodejs and Expressjs. For the database we used MongoDB. The entire collaboration was done on VS studio Live Share with our repo hosted on GitHub.

Challenges we ran into ❌

Initially we planned to work using Jekyll, however it was scrapped midway due to inconveniencess and instead shifted our direction to generate the user posts using via our database and through routing. The filter system for communities posed a slight hurdle but was eventually overcome.

Accomplishments that we're proud of 🏆

We're happy to finish within the deadline after having to rewrite a large chunk halfway through the hack and brining the functionality to life without compromise.

What we learned 👨‍🔬

We learnt to incorporate MongoDB and routing using ExpressJs. We also learnt to create and work with the Heroku API.

What's next for Wildernez ⏭️

We plan on scaling the application in the near future to create an enormous and sustainable support system to directly oversee rescuing of animals, protection of endangered species and improving natural habitats of various places.
