Annalee's Notification App

Inspiration

I am a student learning from home at the moment, and I have noticed that it is hard for me to stay on track, especially because I am working online and there are loads of distractions. I wanted to make an app that can ping my phone and notify me when I have deadlines, so that I can remind myself to stay on track.

What it does

This app, as of right now, can take deadlines and show them in a list format. Later, I would like to be able to utulize the app to notify my phone when deadlines are coming up using text messaging.

How I built it

I built this app using thunkable.

Challenges I ran into

Some challenges that I ran into as I was creating this app were the inability to get the list of things that I need to do to appear on my screen. I also couldn't figure out how to get the app to ping my phone, and that challenge still hasn't be solved, but I intend to.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud that my app was able to show the list of things that I need to get done on the second screen.

What I learned

I learned more about Thunkable and all of it's various features. I also worked on my persistence in solving problems and learned that asking for help isn't necessarily a bad thing.

What's next for Annalee's Notification App

I plan to figure out how to use this app to message myself when dates are coming up, and if I do that, then I have to also figure out cybersecurity measures for this app as well. Then I intend to test it with things like penetration testing and find out if it has any flaws that I can fix. Finally, I intend to release it onto the app store so that other people can use it.
