The app allows users to browse live case count data, mobility data sourced from Google, and changes in nighttime activity sourced from NASA's Worldview tool. Data is presented at the state level as well as for the most visited cities in that state.
A friend sent us a link to the challenge and we thought it looked like it would be a great learning experience. We used the Model-View-ViewModel architecture for our software, and we wanted to make it accessible for the average consumer. We used photos from NASA's WorldView tool to help consumers visualize how activity has changed in certain areas over the course of the pandemic. Our app is programmed in C# using Xamarin.Forms and primarily targets Windows, although we would like to support iOS and Android in the future. Trying to figure out how to piece together data was a big challenge for us, but some cool achievements in our app are the live case count and an interactive map with which users can view state data.
