Independent Project

Hi, I'm Shourjya.

I built WhatNow? because when something goes wrong, finding the right information shouldn't become another problem.

My Story

Unexpected problems create two problems at once:

  1. The actual emergency (a missing phone, a stolen card, a lost passport).
  2. The intense uncertainty about what to do next.

Most tools focus on long-term management or security dashboards. But in the first 30 minutes after an incident, nobody wants complex software — they want clear, prioritized, trustworthy instructions.

WhatNow? was created to solve that immediate second problem.

What I Wanted to Build

I wanted a place where someone could arrive in a stressful moment and quickly find clear answers to five fundamental questions:

  • "What do I do right now?"
  • "What should I avoid doing?"
  • "What documents or details will I need?"
  • "What happens next in the coming days?"
  • "Where do I go for official action?"

Building WhatNow?

WhatNow? combines 52 verified emergency scenarios, structured timeline checklists, local jurisdiction context, printable preparation kits, Google Calendar integration, and a grounded conversational assistant.

Every single feature was designed around privacy: zero forced user accounts, zero cloud chat history, and zero invasive tracking.

A Note to You

"I hope you never need WhatNow? on a really bad day. But if you do, I hope it helps make that day a little easier to navigate."

Have feedback or spotted something outdated?

WhatNow? is continuously refined to ensure emergency guidance remains accurate and reliable.
