Inspiration

I think probably the fact that we’ve all been cooped in our houses the last couple of months and since we don’t go out as much and interact with others, we thought the fashion for everyone might be a great way to allow people to be creative, be recognized for it, start trends, and be more positive. Mental health is at a low for many people right now due to the current status of the world and isolation. A digital fashion allows you to be positive, express yourself, connect with others, and show your skills even though you can’t do in person.

What it does

People are able to make their own designs using the sketchpad. Another page of the app - the Feed, allows users to view other types of designs. They can either swipe right or left, if the like it (right), if they don't really like the design (left). Lastly in the explore page, based on what the user showed interest in the feed page, more designs similar to their style will be shown.

How I built it

To make this IOS app we used Xcode. In order to store all of the users information we used firebase to store the info. Also, we used machine learning so that we could show similar types of designs that the user liked from the feed page to the explore page.

Challenges I ran into

We struggled on trying to get the firebase to work for sometime, but we persevered and found the solution. Due to the left over time, we were not able to fix all the error for the machine learning aspect of the app.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We are very proud of what we have done so far after the 24 hour time period. Even if we are not done with the app, we enjoyed the whole experience and can't wait to finish the app after the hackathon.
