Capstone Proposal

Name of Student: Bobby Martin
Name of Project: NPWD(New Phone Who Dis?) AKA: Who’s Calling?
Project’s Purpose or Goal: To let the user enter a phone number and check what type of scam that caller is trying to persuade you with, whether that be tax fraud, insurance fraud, etc. Then let the user post a comment on a public forum with the number and what type of scam it is.
List the absolute minimum features the project requires to meet this purpose or goal:

• The user submits a phone number
• Make a GET request to grab information based on the phone number provided
• Display that information in the UI
  What tools, frameworks, libraries, APIs, modules and/or other resources (whatever is specific to your track, and your language) will you use to create this MVP? List them all here. Be specific.
• Whitepages PRO API
• React / React Native
• Firebase
  If you finish developing the minimum viable product (MVP) with time to spare, what will you work on next? Describe these features here: Be specific.
• Public forum functionality
• User Authentication
• User registration to DoNotCall Registry
  What additional tools, frameworks, libraries, APIs, or other resources will these additional features require?
• Firebase
• GraphQL
