The problem MealKind solves
The Hunger Game: Every year, 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted. This is equivalent to one-third of the food produced globally for human consumption and 690 million people go to bed hungry every night. This is equivalent to 9% of the world population.
Our Mission is to solve this problem by connecting organisation that take care of children with restaurants and food delivery services, who are having surplus food with the help of our platform MealKind, which helps us both needy organsiations as well as food surplus vendors track the meals without any hasstle. This way surplus food is not wasted and children in need get to eat a meal.
Challenges I ran into
Stupidly stuck into problem of Firebase Auth and it took me around 4 hours to find out that itb was cuased due to mere positional arguments which were incorrectly positioned. Another one would be to figure out complex NoSQL Queries, using $expr, $eq and $ne was the first time for me.
