Help in Crisis, is born out of a dynamic hackathon. However, this version represents a significant transformation carried out solely by me, breathing fresh life into the project and greatly enhancing its capabilities.
Here's the robust tech stack that powers Helping Hands:
- Front-end: Beautiful user interfaces and seamless user experiences are crafted with React.JS, complemented by CSS, HTML, and JavaScript.
- Back-end: The behind-the-scenes operations are handled by Java, Spring Boot, Spring Data JPA, and Spring Security. Hibernate is in charge of ORM, with MySQL supporting the robust database.
- Security: For ensuring a secure environment, JWT of Spring Security oversees both authentication and authorization.

Responding to the overgrowing crisis around the world, "Help in Crisis" 👐 is developed with a noble purpose - to ease the burdens of the displaced. This platform acts as a bridge 🌉, connecting volunteers to refugees in need of assistance for various tasks.
Upon creating an account, users can identify as a volunteer 🦸 or a refugee 🏠. Refugees can list tasks they need assistance with, and volunteers can accept and complete these tasks. As a token of appreciation, volunteers earn points 🎖️, which they can redeem for rewards later! Additionally, volunteers can offer different types of services for refugees.
This repository contains both front-end and back-end code.
For the back-end setup, install the Lombok library. Don't forget to update the application.properties file with your local MySQL setup link.
To set up the front end, navigate to the project directory, and run npm install.
Kickstart the app with npm start. You can now access the application at http://localhost:3000 in your browser. The page auto-refreshes with any edits made, and any lint errors will be flagged in the console.
