The idea has been formed with the eye on the Couchsurfing system, where people are able to help each other without making any material profit
Everyone in the system can be both a volunteer or a one in need. Being able to see what people around you, your neighbors, need when you're shopping you can choose the items that you can grab for them. The type of items is not limited at all: people make request for the things they want and then it's only their neigbors who decide, are they able to buy it or not.
The only profit volunteers gain is the upgrade of their rating based on references of their neigbors. It is used to make one's own requests more visible afterwards.
Our system has been created during pandemic. However, it will have no less use in the post-pandemic world too: mindset of people has changed, irrelevance of making unneccessary contacs has become justified. Free & community-based alternative to the developing contactless deliveries is needed to make our lives better :)
Since the system was designed and created during two-days hackathon event of Cloud Programming course (NTHU, Taiwan), there's only web interface available for now. Plans are to become user-friendly by working on a decent design along with mobile apps.
