Welcome to airgradient-map-web Discussions!

[airgradienthq]

This is the discussion forum for the AirGradient App Frontend Code. Feel free to ask anything, discuss new features, issues etc. This should really be the place where we can freely interact and discuss. Here the focus should be on discussions around user facing features, and UI/UX issues.

There is also a repo with a discussion forum for the Backend Code. Please discuss all backend issues, e.g. about data ingestion on the Backend board.

About the Project

Air pollution is one of the most pressing environmental problems globally and I believe we need to do more, and as a group have the power to create something very impactful.

This conviction is why we're launching the Clean Air Advocates Program and as one of the first steps want to build a powerful app.

An Accessible Open Source Global Air Quality Map: We'll start by creating an intuitive map that makes it easy for anyone, anywhere, to understand the air quality around them in real-time. This won’t just show raw data, but will also provide health-based information and timely alerts to help people make informed decisions for their well-being.
A Hub for Community Engagement & Action: Phase two is where it gets even more exciting! We plan to build features that foster community engagement, connecting users, motivating action, and potentially even offering incentives for individuals and groups actively working to lower air pollution and reduce their carbon footprint. Imagine communities setting goals, sharing successes, and collectively making a measurable difference!
AirGradient was founded on the principles of open hardware, open data, and open science. We firmly believe that transparency and collaboration are essential for tackling complex global challenges like air pollution. By building this app as an open-source community effort, we leverage the collective intelligence, diverse perspectives, and shared passion of many. We are absolutely convinced that as a powerful, united community, we can create something truly impactful that transcends borders and limitations.
