Are you facing breastfeeding challenges? Lactalink is here to assist you (and your little one's tummy)! Our mobile application, developed using React Native (TypeScript) as the final project of my Hacktiv8 journey, serves as a bridge between mothers with surplus breastmilk (donors) and those in need (receivers). We aim to establish a safe and trustworthy platform for milk donation, empowering mothers and nurturing babies everywhere!
- Detailed User Profiles: Tailored profiles for both donors and receivers, providing comprehensive information on diet, lifestyle, milk composition, and baby requirements.
- Advanced Matching System: Our algorithm matches donors and receivers based on compatibility factors such as blood type, diet, and allergies.
- Secure Chat Functionality: Communicate confidently with potential donors or receivers through our secure messaging feature.
- Supportive Community Forum: Connect, share experiences, and learn alongside fellow mothers in our vibrant community forum.
- Easy Registration: Upload your ID for seamless registration.
- Front-End: React Native (TypeScript)
- Back-End: Express.js
- Database: MongoDB with Mongoose ODM
