Byte by Byte

Are you sick of having to download a thousand different apps to track your health, mood, and meals? Look no further than our all in one app, that keeps it simple and easy!

Comment

Inspiration

Our inspiration was being frustrated with having to have so many different apps when they all could be so easily combined, as well as noticing that a lot of them are not private and are unnecessarily uploaded to the cloud.

What it does

Keeps a local database on our app that allows you to set a fitness schedule that you can just check off, Track your mood for the day and add notes, Mark off what types of things you have eaten, And track your PMS Cycle all in one.

How we built it

We used react native with pouch-DB inspired database made by hand. Using Android Studio, Expo and VS-code.

Challenges we ran into

We have run into a lot of issues of finding a database that is nice and lightweight and works nicely with what we want to do. We initially planned on using SQLite but have since moved on. We also ran into a lot of issue of having pages display the correct info from the custom DB

Accomplishments that we're proud of

How good it looks! It really is a simple and intuitive app that makes tracking all of this stuff more intentional and less time consuming. It also is the first time either of us have properly packaged an app so it's really cool to see!

What we learned

That dependencies can be very challenging as well as how many different versions and things you installed along the way. We also learned a lot about how Json based Database's work and a lot of their drawbacks.

What's next for Byte by Byte

Fixing some of the database communications, Cleaning up the app some more, letting you download your data, and implementing a routine mode to help you get through the morning
