Swiper is an app that connects users leaving train stations to users who would like a swipe to enter the train station.
There are two types of users: Donors and recipients.
- Donor: Gives swipes
- Recipient: Recieves swipes
When a donor is by a station, they are sent a notification prompting them where they are headed. Upon clicking on the notification they go to an activity where they can input there destination. Their role in the process is then complete.
All recipients within a certain radius of the donor's final station are then notified of the station and ETA(Estimated Time of Arrival) of a donor.

App is currently quite inefficient.
When a donor is by a station they are prompted by a notification if they are headed somewhere. (Should also implement an option for them to say no but, meh I'm young, jk will do).
The inefficiency comes from me doing all the work of finding the station they are leaving from on their phone and then sending firebase the message and user group to notify. The server should do the work of finding the destination station and calculating donor ETA.
It also doesn't serve its purpose yet so, there's that. Once the app is functional, we will definitely make it look pretty.
