🧠 Inspiration

Habits. They're easy to follow but tough to get rid off.

Good, healthy habits help lay the groundwork for a healthy lifestyle - something the younger generations to come will struggle with due to screen time from work & gaming, long periods of inactivity and fast food which has cemented itself into our modern culture. We believe that the best approach to developing good healthy habits is to first purge any current unhealthy ones.

So when it comes to getting rid of old unhealthy habits, positive reinforcement hasn't always worked for some of us. Sometimes the thing you need most to quit your old habits isn't some kind words or motivation, but instead some understanding of the consequences of sticking to old, unhealthy habits. Like a strict couch over a mediocre one, we desire an app that is intuitive, simple yet effective at encouraging us to stay healthy.

🤓 How we built it

The technologies used for this project are:

Frontend:

ReactJS
TailwindCSS
TailwindUI

Backend:

NodeJS
ExpressJS

👾 Challenges we ran into

sync the achievements with notifications & dashboard habits syncing with the achievements page
thinking of ways to integrate AI
Ensuring that we achieved our goal of utilising negative reinforcement, while not excessively degrading or offending the user

😎 Accomplishments that we're proud of

worked together as a team to get a complete project in less than 2 days
learnt new concepts and applied them quickly under time-constraint
had an AI feature part of the complete project

📝 What we learned

openAI API is actually really intuitive and well-made
everyone had a fun time implementing tailwindCSS with tailwindUI
learnt ReactJS for frontend dev

☀️ What's next for CleanSlate

add more AI features and develop dedicated features for healthy habits like a meditation feature where AI generates a script and reads it for the guided meditation session. Diet tracking, etc.
