Inspiration
As housemates for the past two years, we drew inspiration from our experience of dealing with the daily tasks associated with living with others. This includes the collection of household funds that go towards house supplies and the allocation of weekly chores. We wanted to develop an iOS app which would help with these functions!
What it does
Essentially, the purpose of this app is to facilitate a quick, easy and organized meeting between all household members. It can assist in the brainstorming and prioritizing of a list of chores, and creating a visual of the current, total household funds.
How we built it
The app was built with XCode 8.0, and written in Swift.
Challenges we ran into
Since this was new for all team members, we struggled with saving the data of users into the app. So in between launches, the user input is not saved.
What we learned
How UI works in XCode/Swift, how storyboards work, and linking it to some very basic functions.
What's next for HouseMATE
Implementation of core data, along with the additional functions of reminders, scheduling events and connecting with fellow housemates.
