Inspiration
During our project discussion period, one of our member brought up a Fitness app and how he was interested in exercising. Then another member said how we can use this idea in our app. After some discussion, we felt that it was an appropriate topic to do our project of connecting a Fitness app which is fitting to the topic of Hackathon.
What it does
We wrote an android java program which demonstrates a fitness log. The program contains a login page, calendar, progress page with graph and log page. First in the login page, we are able to enter our email and password that has been registered. Secondly, in the calendar, the user can note daily goals or what he/she did on that date. Lastly, in the progress, the data that exercise is plotted through a graph which user can see their progress easily.
How we built it
We start building the login page. Then we have set up other pages; calendar, and progress page with graph. Then, we have set up the google cloud (Firebase) to get the user information. After all of that, we have tested if all the functionalities work properly.
Challenges we ran into
Coming up with a working program within the 48 hour time limit was the biggest challenge. We were not sure how complex our project had to be and we were unsure if our proposed idea was strongly related enough to our theme. Another hardship we faced was that all of our members are not in the same location and different time zone.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
As mentioned earlier, the hardest part of the project was finishing everything before the deadline. We are extremely proud that we were able to finish everything in time including the video and the app. Every member contributed well in their own ways to the project. In addition, everyone on our team was not living in the same location and time zone. It might be harder to do a project than the team who meet up in-person. However, we believe we have overcome the difficulty and are working effectively.
What we learned
Most of our team members were first time in the hackathon. However, our team was able to separate the tasks effectively and handle big projects like working in the startup company.
What's next for SKAM
We are looking to implement more functionalities such as friends feed, SNS etc in the near future. Our ultimate goal is to make an app that makes people interested in fitness and not losing motivation for doing exercise to maintain physical and mental health. This app will fulfill our initial goal of making people more accessible for exercise.
