Four final-year students. One major project. A lot of debugging.

Hey there! 👋 We're four Computer Engineering students from SIES Graduate School of Technology, Navi Mumbai, and this is our GitHub organization.

We're a regular student group, just like every other team in our batch. 🎓 We came together for our final-year major project, and this organization is where our code lives. It's not a company, a startup, or a big research lab. 😄 It's four people, one deadline, and a shared folder of repositories. We're keeping everything in one place so it's easier to find and easier to share.

• 😂 Because we're an ordinary group of students figuring things out as we go.
• 🐛 Because we've all spent hours on a bug that turned out to be a missing semicolon.
• 🤝 Because we don't take ourselves too seriously, even when we take the work seriously.
• ☕ Because most of our best ideas happen at the worst possible hours.

• 🏫 College: SIES Graduate School of Technology, Navi Mumbai
• 📚 University: Mumbai University
• 💻 Branch: Computer Engineering
• 🗓️ Year: Final Year
• 📍 Location: Navi Mumbai, India

• 📌 Project name: LoRaResQ
• 📝 One-line summary: Autonomous, decentralized off-grid emergency mesh communication network connecting civilian smartphones via ESP32-S3 nodes and sub-GHz LoRa during blackouts and disasters.
• 🎯 Problem we're tackling: Complete telecommunication blackouts during natural disasters (cyclones, floods, landslides) and zero coverage in remote rural areas, leaving civilians and rescue responders without any means to communicate.
• 👥 Who it's for: Disaster-affected civilians, search-and-rescue teams, relief volunteers, local panchayats, and rural community coordinators.
• 📊 Status: In progress / Active Prototype (Zero-install Next.js PWA + ESP32-S3 LoRa mesh)
• 🔗 Repository: The-Usual-Idiots/LoRaResQ

• 📦 Major project: LoRaResQ — the main codebase for our final-year project
• 🧪 Experiments: small tests and prototypes we tried along the way
• 📄 Docs: reports, diagrams, blueprints, and research papers
• 🗒️ Assignments: related coursework and seminar presentations we decided to keep here
• 🗃️ Misc: organization profile (.github), CI workflows, and hardware reference files

Roles are loose. Everyone ends up fixing everything at some point. 😅

1. 💬 Talk it out: we discuss the idea and split up the tasks.
2. 🌿 Branch off: each person works on their own branch.
3. 🔍 Review: we look at each other's changes before merging.
4. 🧪 Test: we run it, break it, and fix it.
5. 🔁 Repeat: until it works, or until the deadline, whichever comes first.

• 🔀 Working together on one codebase with Git
• 🧩 Breaking a big project into smaller, manageable pieces
• 🐞 Debugging code that someone else wrote
• 🗂️ Writing documentation that people can actually follow
• ⏰ Managing time when everyone has other submissions too
• 🗣️ Presenting our work clearly to examiners and guides

• 🐛 Found a bug? Open an issue.
• 💭 Have an idea? Open an issue or a discussion.
• 🔧 Want to suggest a fix? Pull requests are welcome.
• 🙏 We're students and still learning, so constructive feedback helps a lot.

• 👨🏫 Our project guide, Dr. Namrata Jiten Patel, for the direction, mentorship, and invaluable feedback
• 🏫 SIES Graduate School of Technology and our Computer Engineering department for the platform and lab resources to build this
• 🌍 The open-source community, whose libraries and docs we lean on constantly
• 👨👩👧 Friends and family who put up with our "just one more fix" promises
