The problem Goco Tracker solves
Why this app?
GoCoTracker is a web app build on MEAN(MongoDB, Express, Angular8, NodeJS) that provides you one-stop updates on COVID-19. Not only updates, but It also helps you to find open stores nearby during the quarantine period.
By this web app, we try to minimize the movement of people by providing them a platform to even connect to a doctor on fingertips.
Our Aim and Idea:
Our main motive is to help the people stuck in quarantine in this pandemic situation and lower the movement of people to stop the spread of COVID-19.
So, we tried to build an app which gives you all information about COVID-19 at your fingertips so that you don't need to jump from websites to websites to get the information.
Also, we added a translator to help the people not comfortable in English as we think most of the web-apps are English based so, we try to target everyone over India.
Features/How it Helps people:
- Amazing live tracking of COVID-19 with beautiful charts and UI.

Challenges we ran into
Location Api was paid so we coudn't use Gmap api for stores we had plans for that. The api was not giving proper info that we wanted. These two were problems.
