Inspiration
For non-profit organizations and even some helpless individuals, it is difficult to find people who are willing to help with simple or daunting tasks. For someone who is willing to contribute to society, it can be difficult to find work to fill the time.
What it does
The Good Samaritan is a platform-independent application where entities and volunteers can sign up and help each other.
How I built it
Front-end: Flutter, Dart
Back-end: Python-Flask
Authentication and API security: Auth0
Challenges I ran into
Connecting the Flask server to Auth0 was challenging at first, but I was able to do it after going through the documentation.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
This is the first time that I've built a mobile application (or used flutter), so I'm proud of being able to learn it and build a project within 24 hours.
What I learned
I learned about Flutter, front-end development, and Authentication for securing APIs using Auth0.
What's next for The Good Samaritan
Adding Location access and Twilio Messaging to it, as it can notify the closest volunteers about anyone who needs help.
