Save Halloween From COVID
We can still have Halloween this year while social distancing and keeping our distance... if we can get this simple mobile app put together and enough people signed up to get people out trick-or-treating. It a pretty simple app with only a few screens, but there's a time crunch and we'll need help getting it completed and getting the word out.
How It Works
- Before Halloween
- Sign up on the app as a trick-or-treater or as a home giving out candy.
- If you're a "home", fill your bowl with candy using the shopping cart.
- On Halloween
- If you're a "trick-or-treater" check the map for your a route of nearby homes with candy.
- When you approach a home, the app will activate a send "trick-or-treat" screen.
- Take a selfie in your costume & send a "trick-or-treat" message to that home.
- If you're a "home" you'll get the notification and you can send treats back to the kids.
- After Halloween
- The total amount of candy is added up for each trick-or-treaters bag.
- The candy is shipped directly to the trick-or-treaters address.
- Unused candy is refunded to homes who don't give it all out.
How to Help
Go to the Kickstarter project and back the project!
There's not too much more to do but not very much time... Halloween is right around the corner. I'm working on some of the basic react-native/expo screens, but some of it is beyond my ability.
- If there are any mobile developers out there who are passionate about Halloween for the kids who'd like to help out, please contact me.
- Anyone have a relationship with any site/stores that sell candy online? I'd like to try to find an easy (and maybe less expensive way) to purchase and send candy.
- Advertising: please forward along the kickstarter project to anyone who loves Halloween. The more people we have the better we can make the app. Facebook, NextDoor, whatever...
