Inspiration
One of my friends and I were joking around about old school apps. We came up with the idea of iplate and to create a cringey and funny infomercial ad as our presentation.
What it does
It is an application that is available for android, ios and website. It gives you 6 different options of plates to eat food off of.
How I built it
I used React-Native, and the Atom Editor to do this
Challenges I ran into
So many problems. I don't have any app development knowledge nor Java knowledge so when creating this app, I had to follow a tutorial. Then to do the specific application I had, I had to continuously search for different ways to do it, until I ran into "States"
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Able to create an app useable on android and ios, and is workable.
What I learned
Learned about states, JS, react-native, app development (minimal) and further developed my coding
What's next for iPlate
Add a reminder to drink water
Running Demo
- Computer open Use this third link to access my expo. Go to open project browser and open project. Scroll down to "open project using expo" (click and drag for scrolling)
- Mobile openThe second link might work for a demo, but requires expo to be installed on mobile device. This might not work because I need to host it
- Take a look at the github, unfortunately the folder "node_modules" was too large to upload. The App.js is available to view
