Saftey App - Cops and Karens

Our company works in the media with the foundation's non-profit organization. We aim to tell compelling stories in daily news with an emphasis on a humanistic approach, hoping to foster meaningful dialogue without taking part in the rhetoric in the current media landscape. We have been working with students and teaching journalism through the virtual internship program for years. Most recently, students from the virtual internship program started developing a safety App. to be deployed on Android and IOS. With the pandemic, the students did not get to finish the App., which is now why we are connecting with Riipen. The Application is around 80% complete, meaning all functions work and have been tested for uploading videos. The next phase is the live streaming and interactions that requires significant coding, UI and design to get it to the stage where it can be deployed into both the IOS and Android stores; We want to work with students to finish the App. Cops & Karens is an app that can capture video and send out notifications in situations of danger—similar to the video functions of YouTube but with many more unique features. The current status of the app involves hosting it on GitHub and utilizing Atlassian.com and Jira for communication and progress tracking. The next steps include implementing live streaming functionality, creating proper icons and graphics, incorporating third-party advertisements, and developing a platform similar to YouTube that enables payment to content creators for their submitted videos. The project has comprehensive documentation from the previous development team, including source codes, making it accessible for a new team to seamlessly take over and continue the project. The team is eager to collaborate with a new group to advance the app further.
