Treeify

Where business meets sustainability.

Comment 2

Inspiration

There’s no doubt that both small companies and the environment have been negatively impacted by the pandemic: so, why not try to help both?

What it does

Treeify is an app that allows users to review their favorite businesses, restaurants, and locations while helping the community. Treeify works by its users leaving reviews and giving companies the spotlight if they make substantial efforts to be eco-friendly. Once companies get a certain amount of rewards, we plant a tree on their behalf!

How we built it

We built Treeify using React, Firebase, Toast, and kebabCase from Lodash.

Challenges we ran into

A lot of backend troubles, but after hours of experimenting with code and researching we were able to create a finished product. We also had some poor communication at the beginning of the hackathon but we tried to discuss more and our progress was a lot more smooth.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learn more about Firebase, the aesthetics of the project, and many others! Especially our artificial intelligence system that helps track the eco-friendliness of a specific company based on large-scale user input.

What we learned

How to build a web app using react. How to collaborate more efficiently and work together in a team environment online. In addition, we learned how to implement complex queries and algorithms to our database to filter out the information we need.

What's next for Treeify

In the future, we plan on putting pictures of a tree planted for the company on the website to show our appreciation for the companies that decide to be eco-friendly.
