🌟 Inspiration

Inspired by forgetful people everywhere and the moms who never forget to remind us! πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ We wanted to create an app that reminds you to complete tasks exactly when and where you need to.

πŸ“± 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. βœ…

πŸ› οΈ 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. πŸ”‹

πŸ† 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.

πŸŽ“ What we learned

We learned how to manage background location services effectively, optimize mobile app performance, and improve our integration with third-party APIs.

πŸš€ 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.
