Machbarschaft

---

Active development has moved

Due to major changes in the backend and the switch from Java to Kotlin, the app is now being developped in the machbarschaft-android-kotlin repository.

Android Application

Project Machbarschaft was created in the context of WirVsVirus Hackathon hosted by the German Government. Our pitch video can be found on youtube. We also have a Devpost Profile and a website machbarschaft.jetzt.

This repository contains the Android Application which is meant for the helper, to find nearby help seeking persons. New Users have to verify their Identiy with their phone number via SMS. Afterwards they can help others in need.

Demo

We have recorded a short video to demonstrate the current state of the app: Youtube-Video
