THE CHALLENGE
Challenges in Instant Input App Development
Challenges faced during the development of Instant Input
Accessibility for differently-abled users
The app needed to be fully accessible to users with varying needs
Government technology adaptation

The solution
Find projects, share opinions, track progress

It is an easy-to-use platform that provides simple surveys, notifications and accessibility to share projects quickly on social media.
