The problem WasteX solves

The prevalence of unidentified dumping grounds poses significant challenges for municipalities in effectively addressing waste. This failure to comprehensively clean these areas results in considerable inconvenience for nearby residents, leading to the proliferation of harmful bacteria and unpleasant odors. This issue not only disrupts the quality of life for local communities but also jeopardizes public health. Immediate action is essential to locate, clean, and manage these dumping grounds strategically, ensuring a safer and more pleasant environment for all residents.

Challenges we ran into

We faced several crucial obstacles that put our capacity to adapt and perseverance to the test as we set out to create an original waste management system for the hackathon submission. One of the biggest challenges was managing a sizable and complex database, a task new to our team up to this point. In order to effectively handle and control massive volumes of information, we had to investigate new ways and broaden our skill set in order to navigate the complexity of data storage, retrieval, and optimisation.Another difficult task was joining the front-end and back-end parts of our solution. It took careful attention to detail and a profound understanding of software architecture to integrate flawless communication between these two essential components. We effectively closed the gap by meticulous teamwork and persistent problem-solving, resulting in a user experience that is consistent with the essential features of our waste management system.The process of launching our website was yet another challenge that called for careful thought. We needed to be creative and have a solid understanding of hosting platforms and deployment pipelines as we worked to make our solution accessible to a larger audience. For our waste management solution to be distributed to consumers effectively and smoothly, overcoming technological obstacles and streamlining the deployment process became crucial.Additionally, using Streamlit for the first time was a remarkable challenge that demonstrated our team's flexibility and desire to experiment with new tools. We had to quickly master Streamlit's complexity and make use of its possibilities due to the steep learning curve connected with it in order to design an intuitive and user-friendly interface for our waste management system.
