Inspiration

Our main source of inspiration stemmed from our the participation at the NCR Design Workshop. The varying scenarios sparked an idea about created a cross-platform application that was targeted towards a future of autonomous shopping.

What it does

foodHUB provides a Tinder swiping format for groceries and uses targeted recommendations based off of your past transactions and current cart status.

How we built it

We used the power of open source on GitHub to find a basic UI structure for our front end that used React Native. We customized and built upon the base app in order to implement our core idea and NCR's API.

Challenges we ran into

Balancing time between expanding the functionality and incorporating the API was our biggest challenge. The majority of the time we put into the app went towards figuring out the API. Also, figuring out how our UI will capture users' attention and make them want to use it while staying on track and focusing on functionality.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We had the ability to perservere through our initial fears and maximize our time to the best of our ability. Additionally, we are proud of our cohesiveness as a team and overall group dynamic given that this is each of our first hackathon.

What we learned

We learned our ability to adapt and be able to learn React Native with very minimal experience.

What's next for foodHUB

The next steps for foodHUB would be to expand on our features and continue to develop on the idea of our application. Ideally, we will incorporate future components where there will be a store layout where the items in your cart will be visually displayed based off the aisle number and placement in the store.
