Find the Sweet Spot with your Study Spot

Inspiration

How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before it’s afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon? - Dr. Seuss

Time is one thing my father said to save, and it was resonated through the Dr.Seuss he read to me at night. That lesson only made half sense back then, but now responsibilities have come. Along with the struggles with juggling 5 classes, a job, and extracurriculars, I realized that many students face the same issue. We try to trick ourselves into thinking were in good, distraction-free zones, when we are often subconsciously distracted by either comfort or other things in the environment. Good study habits are the base of productive and successful students, and knowing this, Spotter was created

What it does

Spotter is mainly meant to find the ultimate study spot. Students can enter preferences like wifi speed needs, noise levels, space requirements, power, all things critical to student success in study spaces. On top of this, Spotter focuses on reviews from students, rating the above items, and making sure that you are getting the best places to have your next study jam.

Then, Spotter allows you to seamlessly integrate your day in your dashboard, fully customizable and allowing for easy access to your day and week plans, along with larger tasks if needed. Creating tasks and tracking them is easy, as Spot (our furry friend), helps to track your progress as he runs and gets tired when you finish. With the planned help of APIs in the future, Spotter will see integration with popular sites like Dropbox, Notion, and Google Drive, making it the only stop students will need for their studies.

What's next for Spotter

Soon, Spotter will be able to integrate multiple sources, allowing for global communication with businesses, schools, and students. Making more effective dashboard tools, along with refining how spots are found, are all ways that Spotter sees immediate growth. For the long-term, this project will look to create a self-sustaining student environment, dictated and created by the Scholar

Use the following code to run the project

flutter pub get flutter packages pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs

How we built it

HTML, CSS, JS, Dart, Firebase, Maps API were all used

Challenges we ran into

Making an app with a new language, and making everything adaptable across all platforms. Next bottleneck was the API's! Lots of learning moments here trying to integrate it all

Accomplishments that we're proud of

First time Solo hackathon!
