BoilerCal

Inspiration

We originally found a way to retrieve data from the Purdue dining court website API, this data allows us to look at what meals were being served n any day, and the calories of each meal. This inspired us to create a project/website that allowed users to track their nutritional and calorie diet by adding meals they have eaten at different dining courts.

What it does

A website that helps track your nutritional and calorie intake by adding the meals you have eaten at a dining court. The website will keep track of the meals you added and calculate the total calories, and other nutritional information by pulling the data from the Purdue dining court API.

How we built it

We used html, css, and js for the frontend, and Springboot for the backend

Challenges we ran into

We had trouble getting Springboot to work with sending and retrieving data over the network and the server.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• We creates a frontend website ui for out meal tracker
• We made our own custom Written in the vi editor tag
• Our frontend was written in neovim

What we learned

Springboot is trash and server/networking programming is a nightmare

What's next for BoilerCal

We plan to continue working on this project for further events such as Purdue Hackers and finalize our project to be functionally working.
