Insta-App

Inspiration

I wanted to submit an app to MHacks Nano, but I didn't know what to build. I then realized that what I really needed to make was something that would decide my next Hackathon project for me.

What it does

Download and install the app, and click the generate button. Each time you press the button you're given a new revolutionary app idea for you to build.

How I built it

I just made String Arrays, filled them with nouns and verbs, and used RNG to pick different nouns and verbs each time.

Challenges I ran into

I wrote a function as getRandom(max: Int, min: Int) even though I meant to write getRandom(min: Int, max: Int). So it took me a while to figure out what that function wasn't working.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Some of the suggestions that the app comes up with are actually pretty interesting. Some are really funny.

What I learned

I learned that it's easier to make an app to make ideas than it is to make an actual app.

What's next for Insta-App

Neural networks to come up with better ideas.
