Inspiration

We all realized that we're sometimes indecisive on what we should wear to certain occasions, and thought it would be nice if we could get opinions from strangers or friends on what look they liked better.

What it does

Our app allows people to post two or more images of their outfits and receive votes from others, picking which outfit they prefer. The person posting the outfits would write where they're going so the voters could have a better idea on which outfit suits the occasion.

How we built it

First we had to decide on the layout for all the screens of our app. Then we took photos of ourselves in different outfits to use as examples for the voting pages. We realized that for each picture we took, we needed to have two additional versions (slay/green and nay/red) which we edited in Google Slides. We also designed our logo and homepage buttons with picmonkey. Finally, we built our app using mit app inventor 2.

Challenges we ran into

It was difficult to assign roles because there was a limit on how many people could be logged in to the same project. We were new to app inventor so we had to learn how to use the site and manage the blocks/coding.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We believe our app in general, and the strategy we came up with in order to make it, was a big accomplishment. We had decided to start off with a sketch of our design and layout before we actually did anything on the app inventor site. This allowed us to be better prepared to create our app. We also found that it was easy for us to edit the photos we were using for the application.

What we learned

We learned event handling, like how to code something happening when someone clicked a button.

What's next for Slay or Nay

We need to add a login page, create posts so users can post their own photos, as well as manage previous posts (My Looks), connect with stores to earn money through advertising based on specific themes of outfits (ex. prom dresses for prom theme), connect with social media and other fashion sites like The Hunt and Polyvore.
