BEEP
Beep is a safety app that offers real-time safety insights, location-sharing, and proactive emergency features to provide peace of mind — making it an ideal companion for everyone, especially women and female-presenting users navigating alone.
The app was developed using React Native with Expo for seamless cross-platform deployment. We integrated Google Maps and Places APIs to offer accurate geolocation, pathfinding, and safe-route guidance. For real-time features such as SOS alerts and user location sharing, we utilized Supabase for its lightweight backend services and Firebase for push notifications and authentication.

✺ CHALLENGES
One of our biggest challenges was determining the right tech stack to support real-time features like crime data integration, live SOS alerts, and location tracking, all within a responsive and user-friendly map interface. We needed a solution that could work seamlessly with Google Maps or Apple Maps, while also handling live data streaming and secure user sessions. Balancing performance, accuracy, and privacy led us to experiment with tools like Firebase, Supabase, and custom overlays using external crime datasets.
