Inspiration: I was inspired by the growing problem that consumer face when trying to buy a new product. When buying a product, there are lots of similar types of products and this makes it hard for the customer to decide what to buy. My app makes it easier for the customer to decide what to buy by giving the consumer suggestions based on where the person lives.
What it does: My app first prompts the user to create an account. Next, the user's information is stored in a database. After this, the app finds the user's weather in their city and recommends a product for them to buy.
How we built it: I built this app on code.org using app lab. I programmed my app using javascript.
Challenges we ran into: Creating the database for the user's profile was difficult for me at first because I didn't have much experience using it. After looking through documentation and youtube videos, I was able to successfully implement databases in my app.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: I am proud of figuring out how to use databases in code.org and the UI of my app. I also am proud of how I was able to successfully debug and fix the errors that came in my app.
What we learned: I learned that debugging and planning takes time. It's always good to start earlier on creating the app so that you can expand more and add more features to your app. I also wish that I had made libraries for my app beforehand so that I can easily add parts of my code into the app more quickly.
What's next for Outdoor Adventures: I want to focus on getting more products that my app recommends. I also want to try and use more databases in my app. For example, I want to use a database for getting the weather in other parts of the world besides the US. I also want to focus on making the app more aesthetically pleasing.
