Habitize App

Inspiration

New Year Resolutions Every year people abandon their New Year Resolutions by the end of the first month. We searched for ways to keep users engaged with their goals daily . We wanted to create an app that allowed all your resolutions to be accessible in one place. We also wanted to leave room to partner with brands on each resolution theme in order to incentivize users for varying levels of consistency. This latter part we were unable to implement because of the time limit

What it does

The app allows users to journal their goals, follow habit tracks, earn achievements and incentives and stay in touch with friends via direct messaging.

How we built it

This is our first hackathon and we are super new to coding. So instead of focusing on hard code we decided to use an app prototyping software called "JustInMind". We quickly realized there was a learning curve to get to the point where the very basic functionality of the app was presentable. These lessons will help in future hackathon processes.

Challenges we ran into

Every step was a challenge LOL. We are perfectionist and quickly realized we had to let go of the habits formed because of this because they prevented us from getting things done. We both had to learn a new skill. Prisila dove into graphic design to create our character Moti, the motivational personal assistant, as well as all our images and widgets. I had to learn to use an entirely new software called justinmind to learn how to prototype apps which was a lot more difficult than ahckathon youtubers make it seem.
