Inspiration
We were inspired to do a media hack to help reduce social media dependency, which after brainstorming, thought it would be best to lower social media usage by inspiring them to use their time learning educational mental health topics such as Anxiety or Depression.
What it does
The app gives points based on the time spent watching educational videos, which can be used to redeem prizes such as giftcards
How we built it
We built it using javascript and react-native
Challenges we ran into
We originally had 4 members in our group, but one decided not to participate, so we became a group of 3. All 3 of us never had any experience with app development, it was our first time building an app
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Even though it was our first time using react-native or making an app, we got a final product out in time
What we learned
We all learned a great deal about app development since the start of this hackathon that we're proud of.
What's next for Suress
We plan the next steps to be educational YouTubers paying us to feature their content on our app, giving people the chance to watch their content in exchange for points. This means we can give out greater prizes using the money we get to inspire more people to come on board and learn with us!
