Inspiration
"You have to fear procrastinating so much, that it does not become an option". This app is made so that procrastinators learn their lesson.
What it does
Slacker_Checker is an app that builds a community of people who want to improve themselves. When you first download it you input your address and your gym's address (currently working on a library version too). At the beginning of the week it asks you how many times you want to go to the gym and on what days. If you do not go to the gym on the days you said you would, then the whole community gets notified and they get to choose out of a selection of words to send to you. If you go to the gym 0 times that week, then your address gets sent out to everyone in your community.
How we built it
Using Xcode /swift! First made a home screen and then toggle menu. Then created navigation and view controllers on each tab of the app, and finally implemented each of the requirements for every tab.
Challenges we ran into
cocoapods, cocoapods, cocoapods, cocoapods. I tried for so long trying to figure out how to install cocoapods on my laptop but this did not go right. Watched maybe 10 tutorials and followed each of them but did not get it to run. This is why I was not able to authenticate user using firebase. It was also my first time using swift or x code so it was a fun experience. Also another challenge was at the start X code was crashing every minute.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Having an app that does not crash every minute!
What we learned
The basics of swift, how to implement a map into a page on swift, how firebase and swift interact, how users are authenticated for each sign in .
What's next for Slacker_Checker
Only the gym version is up right now, but in the future we hope to see a version for studying where you would input how many days a week you want to study.
