Inspiration
Me and my friend have had an app on our phone called opal which blocks apps on your phone reducing screentime. We wanted to make an app that is a combination of Myfitnesspal, opal, and instagram where people can share posts and log workouts and block apps.
What it does
The app blocks apps when at the gym and has a ai to create workouts.
How we built it
We made it by using figma at the start to make a rough design of the app and then someone here told us about v0 so we used that to make a prototype app and then moving it to visual studio code with github copilot we ran into a bunch of issues so we moved it to gemini and got it to work. We came in here only knowing highschool comp sci and not a strong comp sci backgroun but through youtube tutorials at 1am and ai coding softwares we were able to complete the back-end.
Challenges we ran into
Backend Coding with the frontend being so much from using ai to create the front end and especially since ai doesn't make the backend along with the front end wasting so much time trying to incoorperate the backend
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The fact that this app is actually something I would use with my friends, were also proud that the app worked and we were able to make something like this
What we learned
basically everything, we came into this hackathon thinking it was an event were we built physical projects like a drone or something but it turned out to be coding so we found different coding ai's and different coding software and we learned the basics on how a database works. We learned a lot about computer science at the hackathon, attending workshops to learn how to use github copilot and react.
What's next for Locked In - App
Adding a database and uploading onto ios and android and then incoorperating the screentime feature which an iphone is needed for that.
