Community Wish fulfillment app: A Web-Based Digital Detox Platform for Promoting Mindful Technology Use

We propose a mobile Community Wish Fulfillment platform where local citizens post personal or public “wishes” (e.g. a new park bench, a neighborhood cleanup, or personal assistance requests) that others can support or fulfill. The app enables wish submission, community voting, volunteer commitment, donor support, fulfillment tracking, and notifications. It is implemented with a Flutter-based frontend and a Firebase backend, using Google Maps for location-based discovery. We describe its technical design (architecture, data flow, UI) and evaluate its social impact: the platform fosters community engagement, inclusivity, and local empowerment by connecting volunteers, donors, and wish-posters in a single ecosystem. The Community Wish Fulfillment App is a mobile-based application designed to help individuals and communities express their needs and receive support from volunteers and donors. The platform allows users to post wishes, vote on community needs, volunteer resources, and track fulfillment progress. Developed using Flutter and Firebase, the application ensures real-time updates, transparency, and effective coordination. This paper discusses the system architecture, implementation, and the social impact of the proposed application.
