GoalTree

Inspiration

The idea came from seeing how many people have big life goals but don’t know where to start. Whether it’s career, education, or personal growth, the journey often feels overwhelming and unclear. We wanted to create something that works like a GPS for life, showing people where they are and how to realistically achieve them.

What it does

During this project, we learned how to:

Break down large, abstract goals into structured, actionable steps
Work with data to create personalized roadmaps
Collaborate efficiently under hackathon time pressure
Understood how to use version control within a team
Learned basic SSO structure for frameworks like Nuxt.js
Integrated Supabase to streamline log-in process

How we built it

We built a system where users input their current status (skills, education, resources, goals).
Then we:

Separated their current life outcomes into node points
Sent personalized questions to further acquire what starting points they are at
Designed logic to generate step-by-step roadmaps structure a clear path
Created a visual interface to display the journey clearly
Future Feature: Implement Chat Window to dynamically adjust their roadmap

Challenges we ran into

Defining how detailed the roadmap should be without overwhelming users and the software
Handling concurrent goals within a roadmap
Managing time constraints during development
Balancing technical complexity with usability
