Notification from the app
🌟 Inspiration
Inspired by forgetful people everywhere and the moms who never forget to remind us! 👩👧👦 We wanted to create an app that reminds you to complete tasks exactly when and where you need to.
📱 What it does
"Mom Said" sends location-based reminders, notifying you when you’re near a spot where a task needs to be done. Set time ranges, get notified, and mark tasks as completed. ✅
🛠️ How we built it
We used React Native with Expo, integrated Google Maps for location services, and implemented background location tracking with Android notifications.
🚧 Challenges we ran into
- Going through lots of trial and error since the most popular way was to set up a server to send notifications, but we knew this could be done without a server by using background tasks.
- Handling multiple states and managing them efficiently.
- Optimizing the app to run smoothly without draining battery life. 🔋
🏆 Accomplishments that we're proud of
We built a reliable and efficient app that works seamlessly in the background without draining battery and has an easy-to-use interface.
🎓 What we learned
We learned how to manage background location services effectively, optimize mobile app performance, and improve our integration with third-party APIs.
🚀 What's next for Mom Said
Next steps include expanding to iOS, improving animations, enhancing performance, and adding features like voice input and task sharing.
