The problem Food Need solves

Problem Statement: Create a portal that helps marriage/party halls and individuals
to connect to the nearest places where this food could feed those in need.
Solution: Our aim was to develop a web portal that will make it easier and faster for the donating parties(Marriage halls) to the receiving parties(NGOs).
The donators have a separate portal where they can give complete details for their food(cuisine, servings, consumable time,etc.). After complete submission, these details will show up on the receiving portal so that the receiving parties can view it.
On the recieving portal, from the data given by the donators, the receiver can put up a request for the food items as per their requirement. Now, this request would be displayed on the donating portal where the donator can accept it and view the location of NGO on the map.

Challenges we ran into

As it was our first hackathon, we faced a lot of challenges but tried to overcome each as moved ahead.

1. First was to form the team.
2. Next was to pick up the problem statement that we felt was a major issue and to come up with ideas that will solve the proposed problem.
3. Learn skills in a short span of time and implement them efficiently in our project.
4. Get the front end styling of the website appropriate.
5. Couldn't use Google Map API due to paywall.
6. Bugs that occured with the database.

To overcome the above challenges:

1. Connected with our friends and batchmates.
2. Spent our time thinking and discussing ideas and add-ons that we can include in our project.
3. Divided the work amongst the members to make it faster.
4. Took inspiration from some nicely designed websites over the web to make our project look better.
5. Used the static google map code.
6. Redesigned the tables according to our needs.
