Inspiration
The inspiration came from not being able to locate an app that would provide this market demand.
What it does
The app will run in the background of the phone utilizing the location. It will read the coordinates of the phone and return notifications from businesses nearby that share their daily discounts as a marketing tool.
How I built it
We built it using the framework, Phonegap, that allowed us to write the app using web development languages including front-end and back-end languages such HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, PHP, and SQL.
Challenges I ran into
Most of the team had to learn how to be a full stack developer in a short time due to the lack of web development skills.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We were successful in connecting every team member's portion of the app project and combine it to produce a presentable, final project.
What I learned
We learned the valuable skill of teamwork in connecting our portions into a complete project. We learned more about web development that we integrated into our app project.
What's next for DealsDowntheBlock
We can continue to enhance the app product to be a resourceful use to support local businesses and enhance the consumers satisfaction.
