Inspiration
- Instagram reel: "When you're wife is an IT professional"
- Prom is coming up within a month and a simple text won't do the job
What it does
- Serves as an innocent little application disguised as a prom-posal
- The purpose is to get the developer who made this a date for his senior high school prom
How we built it
- Puzzles Ahoy! was built with React Native, allowing the app to fully take advantage of the mobility of the cell phone. This prom-posal can be conducted anywhere where there's internet connection
Challenges we ran into
- Coming to the hackathon halfway late from a part-time job I couldn't miss
- Working solo without a team forcing me to time manage all the tasks on my own
- Getting distracted by all the peers and hanging out outside
- Working on a technology I haven't learned before
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Despite having no team members to relieve the work, arriving with half the time, and starting off with a new technology, I eventually a working functional application that could be used in action this Monday 💪, as well, coming out of this hackathon with 10 hours less sleep, I mean 10 hours of experience on a technology I've never used before.
What we learned
Despite wasting lots of time socializing with people and hanging out outside, it's easy to forget in a competition to enjoy the process and it's ok to cut a bit of slack sometimes.
What's next for Puzzles Ahoy!
The "lines" could definitely be improved, add more animations, and perhaps have a title screen as well. This can be very well transformed into a real proposal some day who knows ¯_(ツ)_/¯
