The Swachhata-MoHUA is the official app of Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), GOI. The app enables a citizen to post a civic-related issue (eg; a garbage dump) which is then forwarded to the city corporation concerned and thereafter assigned to the sanitary inspector of the particular ward. The app has been built by IChangeMyCity – a division of Janaagraha, a Bengaluru based non-profit working to improve the quality of life in India’s cities and towns. How does it work? Take a picture of the Civic-related issue using your smart phone, and post it in one of the following categories. ・Garbage dump ・Garbage vehicle not arrived ・Dustbins not cleaned ・Sweeping not done ・Dead animals ・Public toilet(s) cleaning ・Public toilet(s) blockage ・No water supply in public toilet(s) ・No electricity in public toilet(s) The app will capture the location while the picture is being taken. Just type in the landmark of the complaint location. The complaint will then be assigned to the concerned sanitary inspector/engineer. You can also vote up on any other complaint relevant to you. You will get regular updates on the status of the complaint in the form of a push notification with the ‘Resolved’ image uploaded by the assigned sanitary inspector/engineer. You can also reopen the complaint if you are not satisfied with the resolution of the complaint.

Future Style Periodic Table is a native iOS periodic table app for iPhone and iPad. Unlike traditional static charts, this app features a dark Cyberpunk aesthetic with neon glow effects, Glassmorphism, and fluid native animations — redefining how chemical elements are visualized. The app covers all 118 elements with comprehensive data including atomic number, relative atomic mass, electron configuration, isotopes, and valence. It also supports multi-dimensional heatmap visualization and 3D atomic structure simulation — the perfect tool for learning chemistry and exploring the elements. Highlight: Tap any element to enter an immersive detail view. Drag and rotate the 3D atomic model with touch gestures to experience the beauty of electron orbitals. Multi-language support available for users worldwide. Features Immersive Visual Experience * Cyberpunk Aesthetics: Dark background with dynamic particle effects rendered via Metal, creating a deeply atmospheric, high-tech vibe. * Neon Category Highlights: 10 element categories each with a unique color scheme — borders glow and flow on touch, fully optimized for ProMotion displays. * Universal Device Support: From iPad Pro to iPhone SE, elegant adaptive layouts with free portrait/landscape switching. * Multi-language Support: Switch interface language with one tap, deeply integrated with system language settings. Multi-Dimensional Data Visualization * Heatmap Mode: Instantly switch between atomic radius, electronegativity, ionization energy, melting point, and boiling point distributions — rendered natively with Swift Charts. * Category Filter: Tap any legend item to highlight a specific category (alkali metals, noble gases, lanthanides/actinides, and more). * Live Search: Quickly locate elements by symbol, name, or atomic number — with Spotlight Search integration. 3D Atomic Structure Simulation * SceneKit 3D Orbital Model: Real-time rendering of electron shells and rotating electrons based on electron configuration algorithms, fully GPU-accelerated. * Native Gesture Interaction: Pinch to zoom, two-finger rotate — observe atomic structure from any angle at a silky-smooth 120fps. * Full-Screen Immersive Mode: Tap the model to enter full-screen view; pinch to zoom in on electron shell details. * Detailed Data Cards: Electron configuration notation, shell electron counts, isotope stability, common valences, physical & chemical properties, element history, and visual gallery. Who Is It For? * Middle School Students: New to the periodic table? Neon color coding and category highlights make it easy to distinguish metals, nonmetals, and more. 3D atomic models bring abstract structures to life — making memorization actually fun. * High School Students: The ultimate study companion. Heatmap mode visualizes periodic trends at a glance — electronegativity, ionization energy, valence patterns — so you understand instead of memorize. * University Students & Researchers: Look up atomic mass, electron configurations, isotope data, and more on the go. A pocket-sized replacement for bulky chemistry references — ready in the lab or library. * Educators: Demonstrate periodic trends in class with live category filtering and heatmap switching — turning abstract concepts into something students can actually see. * Chemistry Enthusiasts: Curious about any element? Just search and dive in. The immersive experience makes exploring the periodic table a pleasure in itself.
