Inspiration
We were heavily inspired by reddit and its huge fitness community. We thought have a separate social media site for just the people from fitness background would make much more sense. As we also are involved a lot in fitness it made much more sense to work on this idea.
What it does
It's a basic social media site where you can come in create posts, like or dislike posts, talk with people in the comments and replies, In short just hangout with like minded people from the fitness industry.
How we built it
We used ReactJS with Typescript for the frontend as its one of the best frontend framework out there and Python with Flask for the backend because Flask is very light weight which matched our needs. We have used Postgres for our database as its a RDBMS and it fulfilled all our needs.
Challenges we ran into
We have a two people team where both of us have a way different tech stack that we are good at, So using both of our expertise seemed to be a little challenging throughout the project. We were also struggling a little with our choice of database as we had never worked with a RDBMS (Relational Database Management System)
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We had a very little time to work on it as we had exams going on but still we managed to finish a working social media site in a short span of time which is a great accomplishment for us.
What we learned
We learned a lot about each other's tech stack and also learned how team work can help finishing things quick. We got to know a lot more about the fitness industry while we worked on the project.
What's next for Fenneiss
We aim to add features like fitness calendar where you can plan your workout, Add a private messaging system, Work on suggesting workout plans based on user's preferences, Have a library of tutorial videos for different workout plans and many more.
