  This is what the portion calculator looks like

Who we are

We are a team of two 13 year olds.

Inspiration

We chose to build this app because we felt that there is currently a lot of food wastage in the world. Learning their correct portion sizes lets people help reduce food waste by only consuming as much as they can eat. Our app is also a way to help people eat more consciously and help them stay fit.

What does our app do

It has a functional sign-on with a protected password and an error message system, an accurate calorie, liquid, and sugar intake calculator based on your input statistics, and complementary instructions on how to compost and what to do with wasted food.

Challenges and Accomplishments

We had a hard time getting the sign up page to completely connect with Firebase and save the user’s account information. We were stuck for a while trying to collect and implement the right functions to calculate accurately. Overall, this project took a long time to polish, but it yielded a learning experience and a fully functional app as a result of our efforts.

What we learned

We learned new concepts, how to fix bugs, and teamwork. We learned a lot about things like creating a sign-in and storing user data for our app to work. We also encountered various issues as we coded, and a lot of our learning came from patching them. We finally learned how to play to our strengths and split up the work accordingly.

What's next for Weightless Waste

We’d like to make the interface a bit more user-friendly, so that they are more comfortable regularly using the app. We’d also like to add more functionality by giving the user more specific information. We hope to make this app more accessible so that more people can use it. The more usage it gets, the more influence it can have.
