Chardon is a React Native application under development aiming to bridge the gap between donors and those in need, particularly individuals who lack access to technology. Originally known as "SellIt," the app has evolved from a platform for selling used items into a dedicated donation app designed to facilitate:
- Listing donations: Users can easily create listings specifying items like clothes, bags, furniture, etc., including quantity, description, and location.
- Fundraising campaigns: Organizations and NGOs can launch fundraisers for specific causes, allowing direct monetary donations from users.
- Connecting donors and beneficiaries: Firms and NGOs act as mediators, collecting donated items and distributing them to those who need them most.
Key features:
- Intuitive interface: User-friendly design for both listing donations and browsing available items or fundraisers.
- Map integration: Location visualization simplifies donation pickup arrangements.
- Multiple user roles: Separate functionalities for individual donors and organizational representatives.
- Secure transactions: Focus on trust and transparency in the donation process.
- Robust backend infrastructure: Powered by Firebase, the app leverages a full suite of backend services, including:
- Authentication: Secure user login and management.
- Storage: Efficient storage for donation listings, user profiles, and other data.
- Notifications: Real-time updates on listing status, fundraiser progress, and other relevant information.
- Messaging: Secure communication between donors, organizations, and beneficiaries.
- Security: Comprehensive security measures to protect user data and ensure platform integrity.
- Monitoring: Real-time performance monitoring and analytics for enhanced app stability and scalability.
