Deploy

Inspiration

Zarya - "While trying to conduct a local BLM protest, we had to utilize several types of tools to consolidate volunteer management and communication. We felt that using a singular tool that prioritized privacy and a streamlined user experience would better assist community organizers at large to be able to use tech to help them spend less time on managing and more on what they do best."

What it does

Provides a portal to manage volunteers and tasks to put on community events (specifically in the realm of advocacy). Done in a way that doesn't record any identifying information about volunteers and prompts them to use aliases so that they are less at risk of being targeted for participating in events such as protests.

How we built it

Midfidelity prototype using Figma detailing the task flows of both the community organizers and the volunteers

Challenges we ran into

From a hackathon perspective, being able to get farther than prototyping on time was a struggle considering our inexperience with the technology we would have needed to use to set up an actual site with this level of complexity.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Having something to submit! After the trials and tribulations of making grand plans and then realizing having to learn tools on the go and implement them well wouldn't really fit with the timeline of the event, not to mention lack of sleep making it hard to process things.

What we learned

Setting up github repositories, using Figma, general understanding of what goes into a web app stack at a very high level.

What's next for Deploy

We think this is a cool idea and we'd really like to explore it in the future when we have better grasps of the web dev tools we'd need.
