Inspiration
Whenever you are looking back on old photos or videos, whether from trips or events, it's always a nice feeling. My thought was what if you could notify your future to check up on these old images every so often.
What it does
Its quite simple. The entire application runs locally on a phone and is entirely based on capsules. There are collections, which are simply groups of multiple capsules. Then there are capsules which are the memories you set aside for a specific date and time to be seen again. Until the, you cannot open the capsule.
How we built it
Initially, I came up with the idea. After quite a bit of interrogating with 5.6 Terra, we came up with inital ideas, plans and the end goal of being an MVP.
The implementation was entirely done with codex. We would simply build step-by-step, prompt-by-prompt. First beginning with the layout, then adding capsules, then editing, etc.
After each push I would functionally test and critique, until eventually we came to the final product.
Challenges we ran into
UI Elements Codex is very good at displaying a high quality user interface, however it can be difficult for animations such as sliding, and also struggled with adding filters for a bit.
Locking the Files There is no true way to lock the files in the vault as they should be accessible from the phone always.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Learning how to effectively use and prompt different AI models. This is crucial for the future landscape of solutions, and being able to see the work Codex is capable of with the right prompting is amazing.
What we learned
- Get straight to action in hackathons, start thinking, start building
- Use AI for most code, specifically boilerplate, and then understand the changes made
- Prompt correctly, functionally test, and give feedback
What's next for TimeVault
Possibly continuation as a passion project. There could be room to use cloud hosting for enforcing locking files and tracking time correctly.
