GOaling Down The Rabbit Hole!

Finish your goal in time, or we'll text your ex... Don't be late!

Inspiration

The name of the beginner track, "Down The Rabbit Hole," helped inspire the theme of this project. From there, we wanted to make something that was somewhat near our skill level, so we landed on a goal tracker (with a risk element to motivate)!

What it does

"GOaling Down the Rabbit Hole" is an Alice in Wonderland themed goal tracker that blends childlike wonder with adult reality. As you work towards your goal, the white rabbit falls further down the rabbit hole, towards the tea party--but, if you don't finish your goal on time, you are met with the wrath of the queen of hearts, and a text message is sent to a number of your choosing. Whether you set it to text your ex, your friends, or yourself, we hope it's enough motivation to get things done. Don't be late!

*Since we are beginners, the text message feature does not actually send a text--we just wanted to include this feature from a product design perspective. Instead, it shows a message showing who the message was hypothetically sent to and what the message contains.

How we built it

We built it using React, and made the graphics using ProCreate

Challenges we ran into

It was most of our team's first time using git, so the setup was particularly tricky. We had to figure out how to define which way we should handle merges, which ended up causing a lot of problems on one of our teammate's computers and set us back time-wise.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning how to use React and Git (most of us for the first time!)

What we learned

React, Git skills, more web app development skills

What's next for GOaling Down The Rabbit Hole!

In the future, we would like to make it so that the program actually sends a text message to the number you choose if you fail to complete your goal in time!
