FactFarm

Inspiration

This was me and my groups first hackathon and while we went into the event with some rough draft ideas we ended up focusing on the state farm challenge. We wanted to make an app that would allow the user to interact with the information they took in to make it fun to learn.

What it does

The app gives the user an insurance tip every 24 hours. At the end of the week (after 6 days of tips) you are given a quiz to do that gives a 3 question test, depending on your performance you will get a certain amount of points that will eventually lead to a discount on your insurance payment. Every time you open the app for the first time every day you also get a +1 increment to your streak.

How we built it

To build the app we used swift and Xcode and mostly split the group into some working UI and the others with the functionality.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest setback was that for some of us this was our first time actually using swift. So it took some time to understand some concepts and keywords. Other than that, we had some issues implementing some of our functions to work properly on the user interface. For some of us it was also the firs time designing a mobile app so there was a steep learning curve throughout our weekend.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our entire project as a whole. As first time hackathon attendees we have put all our efforts into this project and feel proud of our current progress.

What we learned

Since most of us are new to swift and app development we have now gained a serious amount of knowledge and experience with the language and app building. We also really learned to persevere and keep expanding upon and making our ideas functional on our project.

What's next for FactFarm

We love our project in the future we will actively working on improving our project by adding new ways to make it more interactive and educational. We are devoted to the project and are excited to improving it with time.

I worked mostly backend creating many of the functions that determined daily tip, reset, quiz questions

I worked on adding location information tracking but wasn’t able to add it to the project due to the bugs that I wasn’t able to fix. We also all worked on combining the different parts of the project and polishing up. This was my first time working with Swift and Xcode band even though I couldn’t finish my part I learned a lot of what it takes to use location information for an iOS App.

Adrian Gonzalez
I worked on the home page and car selection UI. I also helped cleaned up any connection between ui and backend. Since I was the most knowledgeable in ios development, I helped my team members in the ios development process.

David Perez
I mainly worked on the front end, making the features for the quiz and I also worked a little bit with the back end too. It was my first time developing a mobile app using Swift, so it was a little difficult at first.
