Inspiration
Not sure what to do, and figured an app that told me what to do would be great.
What it does
Tells you what to do and keeps it in a database so you can access your randomly made todo list (you can also add what you want to the list)
How I built it
Are you bored at home and lack an objective in life? Are you struggling to find purpose during this quarantine since there are too many things that you want to do, or none at all? Eddy is here to help. Eddy the emperor penguin has a countless amount of activities he wants you to perform. With the press of a button, you will have a task in no time. From simple actions like calling your dog and preventing yourself from blinking, to real challenges such as stacking potatoes. Eddy will remember everything he tells you, and he tells Dr. Mongo about them too. Dr. Mongo keeps track of all the new responsibilities you have, and if you think of something you want to do later Dr. Mongo will remember that for you too. You can track the completed tasks you’ve done, and if you don’t want to do something you can easily delete it. Through human powered language processing, the pandas library, and python, Dr. Mongo also receives a text file of activities that Eddie could tell you to do, as well as word banks of verbs and nouns that increases the randomness and diversity of ideas for you. The word banks were from ijmacdowell’s public github repo, and the array was parsed through python and converted to a convertible pandas dataframe. This app was created using MongoDB, Swift, and Python. You can download and try Eddie out at commandoeddie.online. swift, pandas, and mongodb.
Challenges I ran into
Getting everything done on time. Front end definitely could have looked nicer.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Complete and working app.
What I learned
MongoDB for app development
What's next for Eddie
Improved user interface, and a larger dictionary source (perhaps through webscraping) so there are more options for Users.
