Food can spoil or other users might miss out if reminders aren't given. Notifications offer an organized method for: Confirm successful reservations. Inform users of the due dates for pickup. Notify donors if any items are not picked up. This directly advances our project's objectives of efficiency and fairness. My Contribution to the Design This week, I contributed by designing the notification workflow and researching the most suitable delivery technologies: Booking confirmation notification – sent immediately ...
