Summary

The Helplanet application, developed by Bryon Rosas Salguero, aims to make reporting community issues easier and more efficient. The app uses Redis, a real-time data transmission platform, to enable users to report social issues such as hazardous waste or environmental concerns instantly from their mobile devices. Once reported, the incidents are stored in a database and sent to organizations, which can view them on their dashboard, filter by location, and even contact the reporter directly. The app's architecture relies heavily on Redis to ensure seamless data transmission and hyper-efficient processing of reports, allowing for real-time updates and efficient management of community issues.
