Diet.Mate — Health Tracking Community App
A health tracking app where you log your weight and mood and see it as a graph. Built on the idea that it is easier to keep going with someone else.
Overview
A health tracking app where you log weight, mood and water intake and see your progress as a graph. Sticking to a diet alone is hard, so we added a way to find activities nearby and create events to invite people to. It was our final school project, built by a team of two in about two weeks. I handled sign-up and login, the backend around authentication, the daily logging, and the graphs.
Points
- I took on sign-up, login and the authentication side of the backend. I had written server-side code once before on the previous project, so this time I volunteered for it
- Logged weight can be viewed over one month, six months or a year. Numbers alone do not show change, so being able to switch the window and look again mattered
- Two people, two weeks. My teammate was strong at CSS and UI, so I left that to her and took the data side. Splitting by what each of us was good at turned out to be far faster than halving everything
