Inspiration

The inspiration for the apps purpose would be the people stuck in quarantine with nothing to do, aka everyone in the world. Design and layout inspiration came from a variety of already existing applications including Google, Instagram, and Pinterest.

What it does

[this is what we were able to do with the time we had] Started 5:30pm PST and finished 1:00am PST (total of 8 or so hours of work)

• provides fitness workout videos and guides for users (links the videos)
• allow users to rant and express their thoughts and feelings publicly or privately
• link/pull up workout videos when video image is clicked
• "record" data, though it is not exactly storing or reading data but showing that it is
• flip through multiple screens (segue) -allow the user to log in/ sign up (does not record data)
• show information about workout instructors

How I built it

This app was built through Xcode, a program specifically made for iOS software language Swift. The process first began with picking out all view controllers then adding buttons to connect each view controller. Before this, my teammate and I had to plan and layout which screens were to segue into which and which one were looping back to the main page. As well as what each view controller would hold. After planning out that, we started designing and add labels, text fields, buttons, and segmented controllers to the screens. Once we finished with the layout and design, the coding began. Prior to this, we planned out what each button did and whether or not it should be functional for the demonstration video. After coding the buttons and a few design tweaks, the MVP was finished and ready for the demonstration video.

Challenges I ran into

• figuring out the layout
• keeping track of all the buttons
• coming up with the video script
• finishing the project on time

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• the design and layout of the app
• the button segues that all loop back to the home back, wellness, profile, and friends
• color scheme
• the logo
• working well with the team

What I learned

• how to better my layout and gain inspiration from already existing apps
• how to work with a teammate of a different time zone (EST and PST)
• how to keep track of buttons and where they take the user

What's next for TecHacksProject

• pass the idea to large companies
• work like a combination between the nike training app and instagram
• gives users a chance to receive and give advice to other users
• have people active on the app for other users to tell about their problems and receive assistance
• have actual instructors log on and be actively giving advice to users across the platform
• actually store data and act similarly to Instagram
• have the videos be interactive, instead of being just links
• make the daily journals customizable and be shown via a calendar
• add more types of workouts and focus some for specific athletes
• have the wellness area work like quora and allow feedback and rants and advice to be exchanged
• have the login/ sign up page actually work and create and store account information for the users
• have an award system/level
