Bullet

A multipurpose calendar app to help you manage your day-to-day activities.

Inspiration

Over quarantine, there have been certain things that I've been wanting to do every single day, such as play basketball, do my skincare routine, or practice piano. One day, while I was scrolling on Reddit like every CS major does, I came across a really cool Studio Ghilbli themed bullet journal that someone made to help keep track of their day-to-day activites. I started to do the same thing with my own bullet journal, and I used it to make this app!

What it does

Right now it does not do much. The idea is there but much if not all the functionality has not been implemented yet. What it will hopefully eventually be able to do is allow you to keep track of said day-to-day activities by simply tapping the day in the calendar.

How we built it

I built it in Visual Studio Code by using React Native. I also imported some React Navigation components to help navigate between screens.

Challenges we ran into

As this was my first time coding in React Native, one of the biggest challenges was making sure I had all the packages installed. I would often get bugs because a package wasn't installed, or because I installed a package more than once.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I was not sure if I was going to be able to figure out how to easily navigate between screens, but after a lot of Google and a lot of reviewing of the recordings, I was pleased to be able to figure out how to create a nested navigator.

What we learned

I learned so much through this experience. I am a lot more familiar with flexbox and components, with importing and exporting between files, with props and states, and with React Navigation.

What's next for Bullet

Hopefully over Spring Break or whenever I have time, I'll be able to finish Bullet's functionality. If I am able to successfully implement this app in the way I dream of, it'll be something that I use on a day-to-day basis.
