Inspiration

Breathe allows the user to explore various techniques and practices to help manage stress and anxiety such as meditation and journaling. There are 4 features:

Zen - User is able to choose how long they would like to meditate for as well as the type of meditation (e.g., sleep, anxiety, relax) to engage in some calming of the mind.
Journal - Users can type out their thoughts to reflect on their day. The app will automatically save the inputted text and save it into a text file.
Progress - Here the user is able to select a goal they would like to focus on whether it be ‘self-compassion’ or ‘sleep.’ The user is then asked to rate how they feel about their goal on a scale of 1-5, in which the data is stored and computed into a graph. This allows the user to track their progress through reports over time.
Resources - In this section, the app recommends resources such as books and podcasts that focus on mental health and mental well-being.

What it does

As beginner python coders, we decided to use Google Colab (python Version 2.7) so our team could code and edit at the same time. We worked separately to create different parts of our programs (separate were built by separate people) and then compiled them together to create an overall product. Simultaneously, we used Framer to create a prototype that reflected our Python code. At any point we did not know something, we tried to reach out to mentors or watch videos on YouTube to learn ourselves.

How I built it

-Working in real-time with each other -Specifically finding a collaborative coding platform that had the functionalities we were looking for and would update in real-time (Colab was useful however it lagged often and required us to refresh often) -Finding a platform that allowed us to edit a movie (video) presentation together in real-time -Being able to learn, understand, and apply Google Cloud Products in a beginner Hackathon

Challenges I ran into

-Having an impactful idea and building an application with purpose -Being able to split up our code as a team and have it run properly together -Learning how use Framer -Being able to work well with our team and go out of our way to attend RookieHacks during a pandemic! -My team and I attending workshops and meeting new people

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

-How to use different libraries -How to plot a graph -How to write code more efficiently -How to be popular in zoom chats

What's next for Breathe

-Add a spotify API to play meditation music when the Zen function is called -Learn how to use Django and Flask to further our application creation abilities by allowing us to bring our prototype designed on Framer to life -Use Google Cloud Firebase Database to store variable data for long periods of time
