Pomodurance | Devpost

Inspiration

Pomodurance was created to improve user and peer productivity by socially encouraging measures of work! It is based off the Pomodero timer, a renowned timer for organizing how people study.

What it does

Pomodurance allows users to record metrics of their productivity, and share them with their friends. Before use, users are able to configure their preferred studying preference, (as a 25/5 work split may not fit everyone). They are able to decide their length of studying, breaks, and even the intervals between "long" breaks and "short" breaks". While in use, users are expected to record how often they find themselves distracted. After use, Pomodurance allows users to publish their study session for their peers to admire. The knowledge that students are not working alone will grow a positive environment for education.

How we built it

Pomodurance was built using Figma, Dart, Flutter, and Android Studio.

Challenges we ran into

Coding in Flutter was less of a challenge than the installations of Dart and Flutter. We're especially grateful towards our Flutter-savvy teammate, as well as all the mentors that helped us overcome all sorts of odd errors.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

For most of the group, we're proud of having made our first mobile application by diving headfirst into Flutter! The "everything is a widget" aspect of Dart taught us all a bit more about the use of classes in programming, and hopefully a bit about OOP.

What we learned

We learned about the pain of installing new software and also the advantages and disadvantages of Flutter. Its large collection of widgets and detailed docs make coding in Flutter something worth returning to in the future.
