Future Features

List of planned features to be implemented in future releases.

Major Feature 1: Food chains and NGO onboarding

• Description: In the food industry, a lot of food gets thrown away. This happens because sometimes there's too much food made, or it doesn't look perfect. When food gets wasted, it harms the environment and makes animals suffer. Stray animals like dogs and cats look for food in trash cans, which isn't good for their health. Also, animals on farms might not get enough food if there's too much waste. Businesses can help by being smarter about how much food they make and finding ways to give extra food to those who need it. This helps animals and makes the food industry better for everyone.
• Priority: High
• Dependencies: Need some help from someone who can help us understand legal processes.
• Estimated Timeline: 1-2 month

Conclusion

Food4Pups is started to help people connect with stray or injured animals nearby. The app lets users take pictures of animals in need and post them so others nearby can offer help, like food or assistance. Right now, you can log in, see nearby animal posts, and add new ones.

Next, we have different stages to improve the app. Milestone 1 is about adding essential features like detailed posts, user profiles, and notifications. Milestone 2 will make big changes to how food, donations, and rankings work, making it easier for people to help and track their contributions. Milestone 3 is about getting ready to release a test version of the app, making sure everything looks good and works well.

In the future, we want to add features like connecting with food businesses to give leftover food to animals. This could really help animals and reduce food waste. But it might take some time because we need to work out some legal stuff first. Overall, we're trying to make it easier for people to help animals in need and make a positive impact on the environment
