No more COFUD

No More COFUD is a web application that solves the practical problem of safely fitting the maximum number of people into a given space while enforcing a 2-meter social distance. It uses constraint programming, offloaded to the decentralized Golem network, to generate optimized layouts for spaces like restaurants or offices. This helps businesses and organizations maintain productivity and safety during health crises by maximizing usable capacity.

Key Features

• Constraint Programming — Utilizes algorithmic optimization to calculate the best possible arrangement of people and furniture within a defined space.
• Decentralized Computation — Leverages the Golem network to perform resource-intensive calculations in a distributed manner, reducing local computational load.
• Interactive Web Interface — Allows users to visually define room dimensions, place fixed furniture, and specify where people should be positioned.
• Fixed Object Support — Enables marking furniture or people as immovable, forcing the layout to plan around these fixed positions.
• Grid-Based Visualization — Represents the floor plan on a grid where each square equals one foot, simplifying spatial planning and distance enforcement.

Philosophy

The project aims to combat the mental and physical health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic by providing a practical, data-driven tool that helps keep people employed and socially active safely, using decentralized technology to handle complex computations efficiently.
