Comrade App is a community-driven task management platform designed to empower users by organizing and coordinating execution of location-based tasks. With real-time updates and skill-based task assignments, it enhances collaboration, streamlines task management, and fosters active community involvement.
The app is tailored for community workers, volunteers, and organizations that prioritize efficient task coordination. This includes non-profit organizations, local community groups, event planners, and individuals eager to contribute to community service.
Using an interactive map, users can easily locate tasks that align with their skills and proximity. By encouraging skill development, the platform ensures tasks are matched with qualified individuals
- Disaster Response Coordination: In the event of a natural disaster, community organizations can use the app to assign tasks such as delivering supplies, providing medical assistance, or coordinating evacuations based on the skills of volunteers.
- Local Business Support: Small businesses can post tasks for community members to assist with, such as promoting their services, helping with deliveries, or organizing events, thereby fostering local economic growth.
- Environmental Initiatives: Users can participate in environmental cleanup efforts, tree planting, or conservation projects, with tasks assigned based on skills like landscaping or environmental science.
- Event Planning and Management: Organizers can create tasks for community events (e.g., festivals, fairs) and assign roles to volunteers based on their skills, ensuring that all aspects of the event are covered efficiently.
- P2P Work: Users with specific skills can offer to solve problems and Comrade can facilitate task assignments, review and reward.
- Map based user interface
- Interactions with location-based tasks

First milestone is to reach MVP stage by implementing the minimal required functionality so the application can be demonstrated in a very simplified way.
- User Authentication: Secure login using Google OAuth, providing users with an API token for subsequent requests.
- Skill Management: Users can have multiple skills, which determine their eligibility to pick up tasks.
- Real-Time Location Tracking: Users can send their GPS location through WebSockets, allowing the app to reflect their current position on a map.
- Task Management: Users can create, manage and execute tasks based on skill requirements.
- Interactive Map View: Tasks are displayed on a map, making it easy for users to find and navigate to nearby tasks.
Issues that should be addressed in the MVP are tracked in the milestone:
