Let's be mind FUL of our waste!
Inspiration
This project was inspired by the mobile app Plant Nanny: a virtual plant grows or wilts depending on how much water you drink and input
What it does
This an attempt at gamifying waste reduction. The objective is to change user behavior and generate less waste. Display waste icons on screen that are dynamically rendered by user input. Recycling will remove less icons than waste generation. Cross platform: iOS, Android, Web
How I built it
I built it using React Native with Expo CLI and tested it mainly using an Android Emulator through Android Studio
Challenges I ran into
The main challenge I had was deciding to practice using React Native (I am about 1 month into web development/React)
Accomplishments that I am proud of
I am proud of building it using React Native, having the Temoc heads dynamically rendering, and attempting this project solo
What I learned
I learned that I should build page navigation first for apps with multiple screens and to not try to do animations using React Native, just not worth it to spend the time learning.
