SpeakUp

(android app tackling social issue)

If user is inconvenienced by anything, (for eg. escalator at station not working, or too much open garbage dumped at a particular place) they can:

• create a "Story" titled 'Escalator at Grant Road station'
• add a description to the story
• add a picture to the story
• add a possible solution to the problem

Then add the story to their current location/nearby location in the built-in map of the app.

(Using Firebase to store the stories and Google maps API to get location and for map-view)

Other users can:

• view Stories
• upvote/second the problem or Story

The data from this app can be used to increase awareness and by government authorities/the BMC to take necessary actions by giving priority to the most upvoted problems.

Features to be added:

• view 'nearby' stories based on location
• suggest solutions to problems posted by other users
