Project New Flower — offline-first medical device exchange for Ethiopian hospitals. Bilingual field registry PWA + cross-hospital parts matching. Zero dependencies. # Project New Flower — Medical Device Exchange for Ethiopian Hospitals **Live prototype → addis-ababa-mockup.vercel.app** Donated medical devices in Ethiopian hospitals die from one broken part, no repair training, and nowhere to source components. They then sit in storage for years — the "electronic graveyard" problem. The world does not need another organization shipping devices; the missing layer is what happens *after* the donation. New Flower is that layer: a graveyard inventory, cross-hospital parts and device barter, and a skills/training directory — scoped to Ethiopia, built for the conditions it actually runs in. --- ## The two apps ### `registry/` — field data collection (V1) Offline-first PWA. English/Amharic. Zero dependencies. Used by a field partner to catalog graveyard devices, hospital profiles, people and their skills, and open-ended pain probes — inside hospitals with no reliable connectivity. Everything persists to IndexedDB and exports as JSON. ```bash python3 -m http.server 8741 --directory registry ``` ### `platform/` — the exchange network (V2) Zero-dependency Node server plus a vanilla-JS SPA. - **Matching** (`match.js`) — needs ↔ offers, plus harvest candidates: a same-model dead unit with a *different* broken subsystem is the highest-value match in the system, because two corpses make one working machine. - **Auth** — per-hospital access codes; hospitals see and edit only their own records, and cross-hospital views stay masked. - **Feature flags** (`config.json`) — `exchange`, `skills`, `messaging`. Field evidence decides which survive; the calibration playbook in `HANDOFF.md` says explicitly to turn off what the data does not support. - **Storage** — JSON file store with atomic writes. No database to operate. ```bash node platform/server.js # localhost node platform/scripts/seed.js # demo data cd platform && node --test test.js ``` --- ## Design constraints that drove the build These are not preferenc …
