FIG.01 // CITYFIX · REPORT LIFECYCLE

A report is the start, not the end

A report opens a conversation with several possible participants. Proposals do not resolve anything on their own; the person who raised the issue decides.

CityFix was a team build for the GNEC International Hackathon, aligned with UN SDG 11, and took 3rd Prize in 2024. My part was the backend: the Express and Prisma REST API and the database schema underneath it; the React Native client was not mine. A report is a location with photo evidence, surfaced on a shared map by radius search, which MongoDB answers natively with geospatial indexing. Both an authority and the community can propose a fix against a report, only the reporter accepts or declines, and work that needs money becomes a community project with a funding target and a visible timeline.
