The problem EDITH solves

PROBLEM:
We've all been unquestionably affected by the outbreak of COVID-19,
especially those with underlying illnesses that pose a higher medical risk.
They are fearing for their lives. Catching the virus could significantly
reduce their life expectancy. However, they still need to perform their
day-to-day tasks such as picking up medications, getting groceries...
Those individuals that lack a social network or family support, sometimes
feel burdened or afraid to ask their neighbors, so they go outside and take
the risk of exposing themselves, or others even further. Luckily, And
that's unnecessary, because there are plenty of healthy people ready to
help, ready to give their time and who are happy to do it.
SOLUTION:
To tackle this issue, our solution supports people with medical risks by
giving them their daily tasks to Assistants. EDITH is an intuitive progressive app that links Assistants to those in
need of assistance. The geolocation function will find and match those in need, assistants, and services within your local neighborhood. People requiring help can ask for things like picking up medications, groceries, or
entertainment such as books, printed media, etc...And pay a little money to the assistant. In this way, they can
safely get everything they need.
Now, for becoming an Assistant, Sign-up, select your location,
define your mission, and there you go! You can now chat with those in
need, better understand their requests and help out.
And for those who need help, it’s the same, applying for help takes less
than 5 minutes. it can be done for whatever you in need of, such as
picking up groceries, medications, or a parcel. Volunteers are notified
immediately and can instantly accept your request. Alternatively, select a
volunteer directly from the listing and reach out to him! It's that easy!

Challenges we ran into

dealing with the user interface: Users have many different devices with different screen sizes. So the challenge is to create an app that can run across as many devices as possible. Countless mobile platforms have different limitations based on screen sizes, OS requirements, embedded technologies, pixel intensities, etc.
Dealing with bottom navigation in my app was also I found many bugs in the process.
