Shift

Inspiration

• The original idea came from long commutes to campus.
• Opening a traditional transit app gives you a raw list of departure times
• But doesn't help you be productive during a commute
• Would've wasted a whole hour of commute doing nothing

What it does

• SHIFT is a display
• Displays the best route to a location, and other routes for personal preference
• Task tracker to determine which tasks are doable within the timeframe
• Uses Google directions API to check real time data on how crowded the bus is, and how productive a person can be in that bus

How we built it

• Built the frontend using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, to make a elegant and minimal UI
• Used Gemini API and Direction API from Google to implement the route tracking, information, explanations and task optimizing

Challenges we ran into

• Centering the UI ## Accomplishments that we're proud of
• Completing the project within 7 hours ## What we learned
• It is possible to get a minimal viable product in 7 hours ## What's next for Commute Web-app
• Polishing the UI
• Adding real time location tracking
• Can warn you on how close you are to your stop so you don't miss your stop
