Developed a web app to find covid related resources in India
With over 3 lakh covid cases every day, the devastating second wave of coronavirus in India has seen hospitals and crematoriums overwhelmed and widespread shortages of oxygen, medicines, ICU, Beds, etc.
There is so much confusion due to the shortage of resources, Whole internet is filled with covid requirement posts. There are many sources available on the internet but not in a single place.
So I developed a webpage where users can view all the resources (ICU, Oxygen, beds, medicine, etc) in a single place and they can filter using the location and their covid need. This can help people find resources without wasting much of their time.
The Project is live at: https://covidlead.com
How do we collect data?
More than 15 volunteers are helping regularly to collect the verified leads from multiple sources. A separate admin web app is developed for them from where they can post the leads. You can also become a volunteer by registering on this link. The post older than 2 days are automatically deleted from the database using a cloud function so that we can have fresh data always.
We use covidarmy Twitter API for fetching the latest tweets according to location and resource required.

UI of a post
Required details such as volunteer’s email, time of the post, image, description, resources available & location are shown.
There is also an upvote counter, Users can upvote/downvote any post. Using the upvote count users can judge the authenticity of the post.
Twitter leads page
Users can also see the latest tweets filtered by location and resource requirement on the Twitter page. The tweet is shown with the number of retweets and the time it was posted. Users can tap on the tweet to open it on twitter.
Open-source
The whole project including the admin panel for volunteers is open source. You can also contribute to the project by fixing bugs/implementing new features etc. Flutter is used for the frontend and firebase for the backend.

Upcoming features
We are trying to improve the overall user experience of the app.
The whole app was developed within 2–3 days period so there is a lot of scope for bugs. You can report bugs here.
A lot of improvements can be done to this. I will be improving this application in the upcoming days.
