Plogalong is an app for iOS and Android designed to encourage new and existing ploggers to record the litter they pick up while walking, running, or exercising outdoors.
This is a project of Code for Boston. If you would like to get involved in helping us develop the app, join us at the next Hack Night, and we can help you get started.
We're in the beginning stages of development, but we have a very detailed Mockup.
This is a young project. We're still figuring out what the pieces are and how they'll fit together.
