Hey everyone! A bit of a backstory: We’re 3 young professionals working together in the same company for our day jobs. As we went into distancing a month and a half back, we started noticing a lot of local initiatives aimed at community response to help the elderly and other risk groups isolate. Most of them were (and still are) run quite inefficiently, using Facebook groups or Google forms to take in volunteers and requests and match them manually. What makes our platform different is that it: 1. Handles matching automatically and as efficient as possible 2. Is scalable globally 3. Can be used by existing efforts and initiatives 4. Is extremely simple and easy to use So we’ve done it! We’ve built an app for volunteers that works using geolocation and that deploys requests for help in-app. Requests can come both from “in need” users for the app and from web forms that use the location and deploy the request in-app. Existing organizations can be “Verified” through a badge once we vet them. We have built: 1. A React Native application written in Typescript (<3). We use Mobx for our state management. 2. A NodeJS API with Nest.js & Typescript. We use MongoDB (database) & RabbitMQ (message broker). You can access our swagger API publicly at https://api.komak.io/docs/ https://api.komak.io/docs/.
