Microsteps

Inspiration

If I want to complete, acheive or create something then the only way I get it done is to break it down into simple steps. The I feel action is being taken towards my goal. I wanted to develop an app that would help me reach my goals in a fun and interactive way.

What it does

The app allows you to take a goal and break it down into simple steps with gratification badges when I reach certain milestones.

How I built it

The was my first Meteor js project, written in Javascript with Mongo and Bootstrap.

Challenges I ran into

Learning Meteor and understanding a different paradigm to the coding I have done in the past. With any new framework/language, you go through what I call a pain barrier while learning and understanding. Once you are through that barrier code just flows.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Keeping focused on the project and being able to see my ideas come to life.

What I learned

Developing on your own can be challenging but also very gratifying

What's next for Microsteps

Currently the core system is in place with some basic features and I am now working on the interactive UX and gratification side.
