CE Calculator

Inspiration

My inspiration for making CE Calculator was I wanted to know my exact carbon emissions, but all of the apps out there that calculate that are either incredibly over-complicated or are lacking in features. So I made CE Calculator as the happy medium, it has just about everything you need and absolutely nothing you don't need.

What it does

CE Calculator is an app that calculates your carbon dioxide emissions from certain tasks such as driving a car and heating your house. Simply put in your usage information from your bills and CE Calculator will do all the hard math for you, even going as far as to automatically total all of your emissions in one place.

How I built it

I built it using Thunkable's functionality to quickly and easily switch between multiple preset screens.

Challenges I ran into

I really wanted to add the ability to switch between metric and imperial measurements, but I didn't come up with this idea until it was too late into the weekend and I was forced to drop it due to time constraints. The other main issue I encountered was the prettiness of the UI, I am by no means an artist and if I am to continue with this project in the future I will absolutely ask a friend who is knowledgeable in color design for a hand.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

This is a huge achievement in many different categories for me 1: This is the first mobile app I have ever made 2: This is the first Thunkable app I have ever made 3: This is the first non-game program I have ever made to the point where it is useable

What I learned

I really learned a lot, not just about mobile development, but also about global warming as I needed to get all of the statistics for the app to function

What's next for CE Calculator

I would love to keep developing it into something I may even release to the wider public.

IMPORTANT

This app is designed with the intention of being used with Thunkable's live test function while in your browser, not shared to your phone. Any issues that occur due to using this app in any other way are in no way my fault as I was unable to test it on any other devices.
