Inspiration
My friends and I loved making one word stories, but since we went to college, it has made it much more difficult to write such short, spontaneous events. My goal was to make an app that was easy to contribute to, and fun.
What it does
Stori.o is a mobile app that takes one word from each person who's participating in the group story, and then collects the words into a paragraph, and displays them for everyone to see instantaneously.
How I built it
Stori.o was built using Android Studio and Java. The database functionality and log-in is built using Firebase.
Challenges I ran into
There was an issue of linking my application to the Google Authenticator which used a web-key instead of the expected android key for authentication.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Managing to develop a complete application from essentially scratch in 24 hours.
What I learned
I learned about Android development, as well as how powerful Firebase can be.
What's next for Stori.o
Users will be able to maintain several stories with several groups of friends, and the app will prompt users when it's their turn to contribute.
