Solo-built at Manchester Haqqathon 2025, commissioned by Manchester City Council to tackle digital exclusion. Users complete tasks in an interactive phone simulator: sending emails, reading messages, making calls, sending SMS. The app tracks completion rates, timing, and percentile rankings in real time. Results feed into a dashboard with visual analytics across task types and a ward-level map, so MCC can target digital literacy support where it's needed most. Form handling uses React Hook Form with Zod validation.
