ShareACab

An app for sharing cab with college students

Description

Usually, after exams or when the mid-sem break begins, there is a large surge of people going back to their respective hometown by air/railways. This journey involves an initial travel where the person takes a cab to the IGI Airport or the New Delhi Railway station. A lot of times, people are forced to travel solo, if there isn’t anyone he/she knows traveling at a similar time. Also, this leads to shortage of cabs nearby and increase in waiting time. Had there been a student of IIT-D with whom the cab could have been shared, the fares would also be split and the waiting time will also reduce. Another thing is that girls prefer not to travel alone in Cabs in Delhi, so that problem will also be solved by this app.

What’s working:

• [x] Authentication

  • Sign up/Sign in using email and password. The user also needs to verify their email ID before logging in. Also given an option to reset password.
  • Frontend/Backend by @kshitijalwadhi

• [x] Curved Navbar

  • Curved Navbar to navigate between various screens
  • UI and dummy screens implemented by @Deepanshu-Rohilla
  • Logic by @kshitijalwadhi

• [x] Dashboard

  • Displaying the list of ongoing cabs/groups here. If the user taps on a card, the user is navigated to a screen which shows an overview of the group. On the group page, if the person clicks on join now, he’s added to that group and is navigated to a screen where the details of the group are shown. There is also a floating action button which can be used in two ways, if the person is currently not in a group, by clicking the button he can create a new one, whereas if the user is already in a group, the button navigates him/her to the group details page. There is also an option to leave the group in the group details page. The admin of the group can also edit the details of the group.
