I've found mobile browsers are a little slow for image-heavy websites. Back when Covid-19 cases were just starting to start spiking in 2020, I wanted a way to get the latest stats within my community, without directly traveling to the community website.

My team and I developed an API in Flask/Python and a rudimentary Android app that does exactly this.

The Flask server web-scrapes the community website for a list of cases of COVID, and makes the data available as an API running on Heroku.

The Android app contacts the Flask server, and then displays the retrieved data.

Below is a demo video.
