nuShower

Inspiration

In today's age, SOC is almost synonymous with the word 'smelly', with many believing that computing students do not shower (enough). In an attempt to cleanse our reputation and our faculty-mates, we have created nuShower - a comprehensive app made with the sole purpose of holding users accountable to showering. With features such as shower history and a leaderboard ranking users from the smelliest to the most fragrant, our app aims to strongly encourage showering.

Features include:

1. Logging shower history
2. Tracking latest shower
3. Leaderboard ranking user smelliness
4. NUS Shower Locator
5. 8h Shower Reminder
6. Peeping Tom alert
7. Link to purchase soap
