SpacePal

Inspiration

Our main inspiration was myFitnessPal and its calorie tracking features along with the large food nutritional database it gives its users access to.

What it does

This app calculates a user's BMR and adjusts it according to how their bodies respond to microgravity. It also allows them to input their calories and track them, as well as their exercise. It features a small database of nutritional info on a hypothetical menu on the ISS.

How we built it

We built the project mostly on HTML with a little bit of Javascript for percentage bars. We used HTML documentation from W3 schools and used Notepadd++ and VS Code as our main coding environments.

Challenges we ran into

Some of the challenges we ran into were that the majority of the group was learning HTML and Javascript for the first time and running into problems with formatting.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We got the website to work the way we wanted it to work for the most part and everyone got to contribute to the best of their ability.

What we learned

We learned that designing any project takes time and taking a database and implementing it into a website takes a bit more knowledge with SQL or other database technologies.
