The problem Help-me solves

Security is a major concern today. As sad this might sound, India or any part of the world for that matter cannot be called completely safe. And as such any cry for help should always get the proper response that the person needs. Thus, we bring forward helpMe. helpMe is our contribution towards a safer world where no one is alone and a step towards a much safer world. Whenever in distress, press a button and this will automatically notify people nearby of your location and others can respond to your distress call. This creates a social responsibility among users and eliminates any central body ensuring quicker response to any distress calls.

Challenges we ran into

• Handling location changes in the background
• Finding nearby users (queries in mongodb using geolocation object)
• Configuring Hardware buttons (comming soon)
