We just missed the deadline by a minute, so if there's any chance we can still be considered, our elevator pitch is: Rosebud is an easy-to-use ioS app that aims to give users a platform to record a daily “rose, bud, and thorn” (a rose being something good that happened, a bud being something you’re looking forward to, and a thorn as something that you may be nervous about).
It's built with: XCode in Swift 4, Firebase
Here's the whole story: ‘Rosebud’ stemmed from brainstorming about how to bring daily positivity into users’ lives and to encourage personal growth through reflection. The app would send the user a notification at specified time in the morning and evening. In the morning, the notification would contain the prompts “What is something you are excited about or positive that happened recently?” Optionally, a second prompt asking, “What is something you are nervous about?” will pop up and be recorded as a “thorn”. At the end of the day, a notification would be sent asking the user to reflect on their rose, bud, and (optionally) thorn and offer the opportunity to upload photos for the rose and bud prompt. Previous entries can be viewed by a scroll feature, with the most current entry appearing first. Additionally, we would like to develop the app further so that users could connect with people they know and see their friends’ roses and buds (thorns would be private). We would also like to create a section of the app where the user can record goals. In the future, we would also want to connect and backup the stored entries to Firebase. This project was challenging because it was our team’s first encounter with iOS programming.
