🌟 Inspiration

The Green Habits Tracker was inspired by the urgent need for actionable steps toward sustainability. We wanted to create an app that empowers individuals to make a difference in their daily lives by adopting eco-friendly habits. The idea was to combine habit tracking with sustainability goals, making environmental consciousness part of everyday routines.

💡 What it does

The Green Habits Tracker helps users:

  • Set and track eco-friendly habits, such as saving water, reducing plastic use, or biking to work.
  • Visualize their progress through an intuitive monthly dashboard.
  • Get personalized habit suggestions to make small yet impactful changes.
  • Celebrate achievements with rewards and badges, keeping motivation high!

🛠️ How we built it

We built the app using:

  • Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript for an intuitive and responsive user interface.
  • Backend: Node.js and Express.js for server-side functionality and API integration.
  • Database: MongoDB to store user data, progress, and habit records.
  • Authentication: Implemented JWT (JSON Web Tokens) to ensure secure logins.

🧗 Challenges we ran into

  • Implementing a user-friendly interface while maintaining functionality.
  • Ensuring data security during user authentication and progress tracking.
