Added New Project Idea: Emergency Contact Auto-Notifier

Tier: Intermediate

Summary:
A mobile-first app that automatically notifies selected emergency contacts if the user fails to check in during specific activities like hiking alone, late-night work, or travel. Users can set check-in intervals, and the app sends location updates and status alerts when a check-in is missed.

User Stories:

• As a user, I can set a "check-in interval" for my activity.
• As a user, I can select emergency contacts who will receive notifications if I fail to check in.
• As a user, I can manually check in to indicate I am safe.
• As a user, the app automatically notifies my emergency contacts with my last known location if I miss a check-in.
• As a user, I can view the status of my last check-in (OK / delayed).

Bonus Features:

• Preconfigured activity templates (hike, night work, travel) with recommended check-in intervals.
• Automatic emergency service call if contacts do not respond after X minutes.
• Integration with wearables (Apple Watch, Android Wear) to quickly check in or trigger an alert.
• Push notifications and SMS/email alerts to contacts.
• Location history and activity logs for safety review.

Useful Resources:

• Google Maps / OpenStreetMap APIs
• Twilio API for SMS notifications
• Firebase for real-time alerts
• React Native documentation
• Expo documentation (optional for rapid mobile prototyping)

Example Projects:

• Safety App Example
• Check-In Tracker

This idea is not currently listed in the app-ideas repository and fits the Intermediate tier.

Poem

🐰 I hop a quiet rhythm, watching the clock,
If a check-in drifts silent, I gently knock,
Contacts wake and messages fly,
Safety sewn under twilight sky,
A little rabbit keeps watch—soft, not sly.

21-26: Resource links are current and well-selected.

The Google Maps documentation link provides comprehensive resources and sample code, and the other resources (Twilio, Firebase, React Native, Expo) are industry-standard tools appropriate for this use case. All links appear valid and current.

1-19: Well-structured project specification with clear user stories.

The document follows strong conventions for the app-ideas repository. User stories are well-defined with realistic activities (hiking, late-night work, travel), and bonus features span technical integration (wearables, multiple notification channels) and user experience considerations (activity templates, location history). No spelling, grammar, or formatting issues detected.
