Aid Platform - Connecting Needs with Help

The Aid Platform is a React web application with a Ruby on Rails API that connects people in need with those willing to help. Users can submit a request for aid, which is displayed on a map, and other users can fulfill the need and send messages to the requester.

This web application allows users to submit requests for assistance by providing details of their need, which are then displayed on a map for others to view and respond. It offers a streamlined experience for both the requesters and the helpers, ensuring quick communication and coordination between parties. The platform is designed to foster community aid and assistance.

  • Request Submission: Users can submit detailed requests describing their needs, which will be publicly displayed on the map for others to see and offer help.
  • Map Integration: Requests are pinned to a map, allowing users to view needs based on location and choose ones they can fulfill nearby.
  • Communication Between Users: Helpers can message the requesters directly through the platform to coordinate the fulfillment of the need.

This platform bridges the gap between people in need and those willing to help, using location-based technology and seamless communication to enhance community support.
