Have you ever realized how unreasonably high your water bill is? If so, then you can consider shortening your showers while listening to your favorite music in the process.

Inspiration

We researched about common high resource consumption activities that people take for granted and learned about how much water people waste when taking showers. We learned that excess water consumption is a common concern across various communities, including our own campus. Thus, we made a software to encourage people to limit shower time.

What it does

It is a timer that is connected to the user's spotify. The user can set a time limit to take their shower, in which our algorithm will use to select songs from the intended playlists to closely match the requested time limit. Then the program will play an alarm once the requested time limit has been reach.

How we built it

We used react, and relied on spotify's api to access the user's liked songs and songs put in playlists. We used material-UI and react-icons and other such front-end packages to build out the interface.

Challenges we ran into

Debugging the spotify api, especially configuring the access tokens Learning new languages and framework (javascript, css, and react)

Accomplishments that we're proud of

working together to build an entire website from scratch learning new languages and frameworks planning and designing the final product

What we learned

We learned about the amount of water we spend when we shower spotify api front-end languages

What's next for Shower.fy
