Inspiration:
We picked this project because we wanted to make it easier for people to know when stuff in their fridge is expiring. We had a desire to reduce food waste, improve nutrition and health by monitoring food quality, through technology.
Learned Lessons:
We learned that developing our project on public wifi wasn't viable. We needed a private network for our project to fully function, but we mustered what we could. However, we learned more about making mobile apps with React Native Expo.
Challenges Faced:
We had trouble dealing with asynchronous calls in React Native. We also had conceptual challenges like designing an intuitive user interface for the user.
Improvements:
We could include better image recognition, a more comprehensive database of food items, and a more sophisticated algorithm for expiration prediction.
