Inspiration
I am afraid that in the future, I will lose my desire of learning. Prior to making the project, I had read an article about people being less curious as they grew older. Therefore, I thought of an app that would promote and ease learning for everybody!
What it does
It is an app built to develop curiosity and improve our general knowledge thanks to posts made by the community. Either in text or video format, these posts are made to be concise. Due to limited time in our day, it can be hard to learn new things. Therefore, brevity is key.
How we built it
Javascript, using the React Native framework to build cross-platform mobile apps and Expo-CLI
Challenges we ran into
Finding a way to store our posts, as I didn't develop any backend for this app. I ran into few technical problems with running simulators on my computer. It was my real first time building a mobile app (I had already built one, following a tutorial).
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Making a good-looking layout and adding posts to the app. Finishing the app in time without any bugs.
What we learned
Using React Native and Expo-CLI more effectively. I also improved my skills using git and GitHub. I learned how to some React Native components as well as modules related to that framework.
What's next for OurWorld
First, improving the functionality of the app to make it publishable by coding all the features promised. Second, making a backend for the app to store posts and user information.
