Game that creates profit via ad revenue. Profits would then be directed towards nonprofits dedicated to ending poverty, world hunger, etc.

Creating a website that ads can be placed on is something that our coders aren't sure that they can do. Additionally, creating a site that utilizes currency creates a lot of extra challenges concerning laws and liabilities. We may end up doing this idea, but it would be extremely difficult to execute well.

App that connects queer people with queer friendly healthcare. Additionally, allows users to leave reviews and comments on their experiences with different doctors, hospitals, clinics, etc.

Anything concerning healthcare has a lot of firewalls to protect patient privacy so we may not be able to get the data we need. However, all licensed medical practitioners can be found online. This project hits close to home for several members of our team who are queer.

App that provides homeless youth resources based on their location and needs. Users would answer a short questionnaire about their situation and then be connected directly with shelters and support centers in their area. Additionally, users could communicate with one another to build support systems.

Creating a system that allows users to communicate in chat rooms is something that our coders are unsure that they can create. Additionally, for the purposes of this hackathon the project wouldn't make much sense as there would likely only be the few posts that our team could create in the limited time span we have.

App that allows users to input the ingredients that they have in their home to then be provided with health and cost conscious recipes. A focus on healthy eating, and a reduction of food waste. The app would then also connect users with links to places to purchase the remaining ingredients needed with a focus on ensuring that SNAP and EBT benefits are accepted at those vendors.

We enjoy this idea, but we're not entirely sure what category we would enter it in. Overall, it is our second choice idea, but there are other ideas that we have come up with that we like better.

After an hour of work we realized that this idea is not currently possible for us to create. This is primarily due to the lack of available free APIs to access the necessary data. Additionally, we don't have the skills or the time to create a hostable posting and messaging database on the scale that we would need for this project to be viable.

After a long and thorough discussion our team has decided to take a step back from the queer healthcare website. While we think that it is still an incredibly important concept, we don't currently have the resources or time to actually create it. Instead, we have decided to move forward with the idea that was our original fourth idea. This idea focuses on creating easier access to healthy cost conscious recipes.

Elio will continue to work on the ingredient entry

Hailey will find an API for the SNAP and EBT data

Jax will assist Elio with the ingredient entry and continue image work as we decide what the UI will look like

Puck will focus on what the UI design will look like and also finalize the background information presentation

We found that the API that we needed to be able to access SNAP and EBT brand price data was inaccessible to us. This meant that we are unable to include this information in our app. However, we were able to get data for the cost per serving of each meal which we feel is an acceptable compromise. Overall, today went really well and we are excited to continue working tomorrow.

• 10 AM Meet

• 12 AM Have app finished, turn attention to presentation

• 1:30 PM Submit presentation, allowing extra time for submission issues

• 2 PM Celebrate!

We definitely should have done more research between 10 am when the topics were released and 2 pm when the hackathon started to make sure that our original idea would be doable. This would have saved us a lot of time in the beginning of the day. Overall however we worked really well together. It was really useful to be in person together, even if we are competing virtually in the hackathon. Being in person together allowed us to communicate more effectively and also work more quickly. Today was a lot of fun, and we are looking forward to tomorrow!
