Inspiration

boldReducing air pollution and slowing the effects of climate change while providing users with value. bold Application based on the "TD MyAdvantage" Application which tracks users' safety while driving to offer discounts on their car insurance rates.

Goal: To help students view how much they could save by driving less and using more sustainable modes of transportation.

What it does

The Carlytical mobile application is a carbon footprint tracker using Google Maps API location tracking to calculate the total amount of money, carbon emissions, distance, and time you spend each time you drive.

This app allows you to conveniently view the amount of money you spend on each car ride you take. Additionally, you can see how much money you've spent on gas collectively at the end of each week and month. This promotes users to be more conscious of how much they spend on driving to encourage more sustainable options such as public transit.

How we built it

Our team began by brainstorming ideas to meet the criteria of the challenge while minimizing the churn rate of our application. We listed out our main idea for our application and continuously added innovative ideas/features to our application. Secondly, our team split up into two groups. One team focused on learning how to use flutter’s mobile UI framework to build the application. The other group focused on producing the UX design of the application, adding more features, creating the business proposal script, and making our solution more creative for a higher user retention rate.

Following the completion of our UX design and coding of the app, we began creating a product demo and recording our project submission.

Challenges we ran into

Given we are all new to learning and using flutter, the installation, errors, and bugs we ran into were major roadblocks in creating our app.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of how our app targets and applies to such a wide market of individuals. From students to adults, our app maintains its relevance. The app design overall turned out to be very sleek and modern.

What we learned

To use programming languages and frameworks we know or are familiar with when possible.

What's next for Carlytical

Carlytical will continue following the GoldenHack 4.0. Our team will continue to work on the application with the goal of deploying the app in the future!
