Live data
A resource database that can change when reality changes.
FieldCompass stores resources in a database instead of relying only on static pages. That makes the system easier to update, review, and expand.
What the database supports
- Resource names, categories, addresses, phone numbers, websites, hours, rules, eligibility, notes, and location data.
- Verification status so users can see which records have been reviewed.
- Admin notes and update history concepts for future accountability.
- Records that can be added, edited, flagged, or removed by approved users.
Why this matters
Public resources are only useful when they are accurate. A database-backed system makes it possible to keep improving the information without rebuilding the whole app every time a meal time, shelter rule, or contact detail changes.
