The problem Covid leads solves

In the second wave of covid, it was very hard to find resources like oxygen cylinders, beds, hospitals, ICU, etc. So I created this app from which verified moderators can add verified leads and users can find resources.

Also, it uses Twitter API to find verified resources on Twitter according to location and resource required.

Users can filter according to their location and resource requirements and can find verified leads.

Challenges I ran into

Find a good team that can contribute daily by adding verified leads. I created a web app also for moderators from which they can easily add resources from their mobiles.

One of the main challenges was to remove spam and unverified resources from the website which was then solved by creating an upvote mechanism by which users can upvote a lead and judge on the basis of that.
