Pitch

Imagine you or one of your friends is in a wheelchair. You get to a restaurant for dinner, only to find out there's no easy way to get the wheelchair into the restaurant, or there isn't an accessible bathroom. Accessibility Reviewer (very open to better names) helps you check out how accessible a place is before you go.

Validation

I haven't done too much research on this or talked to many people, but my wife gave me the idea. She is a nursing student and has had jobs taking care of several people in wheelchairs. She has run into several issues where there isn't ideal handicap parking, or she has to take someone through the back entrance of a place because that's the only wheelchair accessible entrance. Having an app like this could help those with disabilities better plan their outings.

Summary of Features

• Accessible parking rating/locator
• General reviews of different commercial locations (could use Google Maps API to show these locations on a map)
• List the most accessible restaurants, stores, etc. near the user's location
• This could be expanded to include things like showing whether a restaurant's restroom has baby changing stations and stuff like that.

Possible Architecture

I don't have experience with mobile apps, so unless someone else has experience I would be inclined to make it a web app with Reach for the frontend and I would be comfortable with Java, C#, or really anything for the backend. I do have extensive experience with Laravel (a PHP framework), but I know that is not the most beloved language.
