During the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, stores were experiencing major shortages of common household items like toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and disinfecting wipes. It was difficult — and sometimes nearly impossible — to find these items and more.
Over a weekend, I built & launched Quarantin.io, a free crowdsourcing web app where users could share what they estimate stock levels to be at various stores so others could at-a-glance get an idea of what essential products a store might have in stock.
The goal was to provide a free service during a time of need; to help people limit their time searching for essential household items so they spent less time in fewer stores and more time at home to help slow the spread of COVID.
It was a major success, with thousands of businesses tagged with tens of thousands of individual reports submitted across the country in over 40 states.
Thankfully, the need for Quarantin.io has gone away — meaning there is less panic buying, and stores are more regularly stocked.
Quarantin.io was built with Vue.js, Vuetify, Google Firebase, Google Maps API, and hosted on Netlify.
