Inspiration
Saving time in today's fast paced modern world.
What it does
A scheduler app designed to save time for the busy modern individual, pick a list of tasks you would like to accomplish and the app will create the most time efficient schedule for you.
How we built it
Front-end was done with Kotlin on Android Studio. Back-end was done with Kotlin and JSoup to grab the HTML.
Challenges we ran into
-The Chic-Fil-A problem, we ran into an issue where the time of places on Sunday returned null on the first line of data. JSoup simply couldn't parse the busy time data we needed, as a result, we created our own JSoup method to grab the data in a clean form. -Getting the background thread and main UI thread to pass data between each other, could not get this done. -Chaining consecutive api calls, we got his done.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating our own JSoup method to parse data.
What we learned
Since JSoup couldn't do the job by a simple selector method, utilizing our knowledge of algorithms and google search via stackOverflow pushed us to think outside the box and handle data parsing our own way.
What's next for TripEfficient
Utilizing other 3rd party API's for more efficient data, as our parsing method is not the quickest.
