Inspiration💡

Motivated by the common struggle of starting daily streaks with initial enthusiasm but often lacking the ongoing motivation to sustain them, we've drawn inspiration to create a unique solution. Leveraging the power of NFT rewards on the Flow Blockchain, we aim to transform your streaks into a rewarding journey, ensuring lasting motivation and success in your daily endeavors.

What it does💪

Our project, named "DailyDose," revolutionizes the way users maintain and sustain daily streaks of activities such as meditation or coding. By seamlessly integrating with Discord, our bot encourages users to share their daily achievements. Every accomplishment is recorded in Firebase, creating a personalized streak tracker for each user.

How we built it❓🧠

Idea Generation The project stemmed from a shared realization that many individuals struggle to stay consistent in their daily activities. We brainstormed ways to merge technology, community, and blockchain to address this challenge.

Discord Bot Development Our Discord bot, the core communication channel, was developed using the Discord API and the discord.py library. It listens for user activity, processes messages, and interacts with the Firebase back-end.

Firebase Setup Firebase serves as our data storage and retrieval system. We integrated Firestore to manage user profiles, streaks, and message history. Firebase Authentication ensures secure and personalized user experiences.

React Frontend The frontend, built with React, provides an interactive and responsive user interface. Users can log in, view their progress, and receive motivational messages from the Discord bot.

Deployment The React frontend is deployed on Netlify, providing a stable and performant platform. Firebase functions as the backbone, handling user data and ensuring real-time updates.

Challenges we ran into 🧗

Setting up the Discord bot for the first time presented an initial learning curve. Navigating through the Discord library and understanding how to map objects within the platform required meticulous exploration. Furthermore, we faced the obstacle of limited documentation and information on the Flow Python SDK, which impacted our development process. Despite these challenges, our team persevered to deliver a robust and innovative platform.
