Ripple

Inspiration

• People donate more to charities with transparency
• We are looking to encourage donations by allowing donors to view the impact their support has

What it does

• Web application that acts as a hub for the donors to view the effect of their support directly.
• Donations have unique identifiers that can be tracked
• The donor will see directly which event or activity they have supported

How we built it

• We used a combination of HTML, JavaScript and CSS all connecting to our database on PHPMyAdmin, using PHP
• The Database updates when the staff fund an event and takes from the oldest donation
• This in future will update our donor page so that the donor can view their impact (the visualisation of this is shown in the donor folder)

Challenges we ran into

• Using PHP in tandem with Javascript was hard to debug as this combination was relatively new
• We tried to split files for easier reading and better functionality but ended up making it more difficult!
• The time constraint (obviously!) was a challenge!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• We are proud our concept and our attemt at implementation
• This project is a similar size to something we had at least a month to complete, so carrying over that knowledge was rewarding

What we learned

• We learned that our strengths lie in different areas of programming
• This is our first hackathon so we have learned how to manage our time

What's next for Ripple

• Full implementation
• Smoother backend
