HowsItGrowing

Inspiration

• Everyone has plants nowadays, but nobody seems to remember to water them. We hear more about plant fails than plan successes.
• It can be difficult to remember the last time you've watered your plants, which can lead to over or under watering

What it does

• Allows you to compile a list of all the plants you own
• Sets reminders for you to water them on specific intervals
• Provides basic care info for a wide range of plants
• Allows you to discover new plants based on categories

How we built it

• frontend: T3 Stack (Typscript, Next.js, tRPC)
• backend: Java

Challenges we ran into

• We had to brainstorm and come up with a feasible idea that was innovative and could be implemented within the given time frame.
• Some of our teammates did not have much experience using building a website and they had to learn more about it especially when it came to fixing issues.
• Due to the difference in participation mode (most of us attended in-person, while one teammate attended virtually), we had some difficulty collaborating, but we managed to get the project done

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Completing the project under the given time frame.
• Implementing a functioning backend
• Using an aesthetically pleasing UI
• Building a great website that is user-friendly and adheres to the theme

What we learned
