  What I built
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Category Submission: COVID-19 Communications
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;RedCS is a Web Application created to aid people during the lookdowns due to COVID-19 emergency.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;RedCS is an App intended to join the people looking for help with those who wants to help; RedCS is free of charge and need no subscriptions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The App has 2 stages:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A) Front-stage: for final users who are looking for help or wants to help; the user login into the system with his/her Cel number and then receives in WhatsApp a code as a password to complete the authentication process, (the code is sent to the user using Twilio Api); then, the user may post requests for help (categorized) and/or may post how he/she wants to help (categorized too); all the matches between people is advised to the parts with WhatsApp messages via Twilio Api.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;B) Back-stage: for administrative users; they login in to the system using the "Admin" option in the main menu, with a previously created account (user and password); they manage categories, keep the DB info quality (moderate languaje) and give support to final users.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  How I built it (what's the stack? did I run into issues or discover something new along the way?)
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Great Api from Twilio to send messages to WhatsApp, new for us and very useful.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;WhatsApp messages give us freedom to send instant info to users and avoid spam messages and use different ways to communicate with users without the restrictions for mail transport.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some of our users may not have email accounts, but almost all of them have cel phones and use WhatsApp.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In Colombia is better the cel phone network for use WhatsApp than the services provided to use email.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Integrating Twilio Api to our development was so easy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
