Froque

Froque opens the door to life-changing opportunities that often go unnoticed. It's a simple and effective tool to ensure everyone has access to the best experiences that the world has to offer.

Inspiration

The inspiration behind it was my own experiences. Coming from a first-generation student family, I was always obligated to find any discounts or free opportunities to capitalize on. However, these were not always available easily off the internet. A tool like Froque could help many individuals questioning to spend on something slightly over budget, for it to now become more managable.

What it does

Essentially, any activities or discounts are written on the app and linked to to that website in order to register.

How we built it

Using SwiftUI on XCode for the GUI, along with Firebase for the Authentication and database storage in order to update the app in realtime, effectively.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge would have been connecting Firebase to the app. This required quite a bit of scrolling from the documentation, with some outdated versions providing incorrect code.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Being a solo group, this was my very first app on SwiftUI and I am extremely excited to share this with you.

What we learned

Linking Firebase, force unwrapping vs. using guard statements, safe coding practices, designing,

What's next for Froque

I have so many ideas planned for Forque. Hopefully, using an AI model, I could easily update the discounts/extra-curricular activities within the area a lot easier. Not only that, but tailoring specific activities based on location would be an amazing idea.
