An app that allows small local businesses that do or do not have website/ e-commerce to advertise their services and changes, in context of COVID-19, on their business operations to local Neighbors.
As main users, we will have citizens and Local business owners/representatives
The main use cases we propose are:
- Local businesses can sign up through a platform and fill in their information, like: Updated opening hours/delivery hours, contact information, location, list of services they deliver, changes to their business operations in effect right now and series of small posts/tweets
- Citizens can easily find and consult the information above in their immediate neighborhood / current location. They should be able to filter by services and even quickly find who is open or delivering right now or for a certain time. They can then contact the local business or head there.
The main challenges we are assuming that we going to face with are:
- Getting the local businesses to sign up;
- Information can be outdated fast;
- Validating the information given (avoid fake businesses and misinformation
- It needs to be easy for businesses to use.
