HeelEats App

Inspiration

Have you ever wandered around UNC Chapel Hill feeling hungry yet unable to decide where to eat? Worry no more, HeelEats is here to help! We realized that there are so many restaurants on and around campus, and the sheer number may make it a struggle for students to make a selection. HeelEats was created to streamline the search process and help users find highly rated restaurants in the area!

What it does

The home screen of the app prompts the user to select a cuisine type from a picker menu. After selecting a cuisine type, the user can see the our recommendations!

How we built it

To get a prototype of the app working before we started coding, we used Figma to develop a design for our Views. Once created, we went into XCode and recreated the interface.

Challenges we ran into

We are still new to learning the Swift/SwiftUI programming languages which made it a bit difficult building some aspects of our app. For example, when we were working on our reviews view, we didn't know how to fill only half of a star. After a lot of searching for documentation online, we found the methods we needed to help finish our app!

What we're proud of

Together, we learned a lot about SwiftUI syntax and the features that XCode offers. We share a common interest in app development, and creating a personal project was one of the most valuable ways for us to strengthen our coding knowledge.
