We have seen how important social distancing is in times of pandemics like the one we are experiencing right now. However, although many places are under lockdown, people are forced to go out in order to buy the daily necessities. However, too many people going out to buy things at the same time leads to violations of the norms of social distancing. We envision to present a platform through which people can pre-order the things that they need and get a time-slot for collecting them. Our algorithms will work like that only at a particular time interval there will be only 3 peoples at a shop.
This will help in reducing crowds and spreading of this COVID-19 while people go out to get necessary things, as well as let people, know beforehand whether a particular item is available or not.
Serialization of Timestamp in JSON, we Solved it using String and Type conversion.
Configuring the database so that it could store the data in the appropriate format which could be retrieved easily.
Adding Google maps to the app and getting the current location of a user was also a challenge.
