Inspiration

Amidst ongoing fears of Covid-19, people have been panic buying and it has become a struggle to get the supplies you need. Everyday items have become limited. Therefore, this mobile app guides you through methods of rationing, managing your inventory, and reminding you when you are low on goods.

What it does

iOS mobile app that lets you add an item you wish to stock into your inventory through the Input Page. View list of all items in the Inventory Page. Update your usage of items in the Home Page. And most importantly, reminds the user when their most pressing expiration date is coming.

How I built it

It was our team's first time using Expo, React Native, and mobile development in general.

Challenges I ran into

Expo and React Native were very difficult. And AsyncStorage was a challenge. Connectivity and communication issues due to remote situation.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

We need external dependencies no matter what. Don't reinvent the wheel.

What I learned

How to use Expo, React Native, and AsyncStorage. It was some of our members first Hackathons.
