Inspiration
As the theme was summer we drew inspiration from everyone's main summertime snack, ice cream.
What it does
The aim of the app we created is to recommend ice cream flavours to its users. The app also allows users to share recipes with other users.
How we built it
We used technologies such as Next.js, Typescript, Material UI and CSS for the frontend and MongoDB, Netlify and Node.js for the backend. We used the react-QR-code package for QR code functionality.
Challenges we ran into
Our team members were in different time zones and therefore, the time zone difference was a challenge we had to overcome.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We tried to create the API from scratch and managed to implement QR codes to share ice cream flavour with your friends.
What we learned
Our team did not have previous experience with Next.js and we had to learn how to use this framework in order to complete our project.
What's next for Almond Joy
Going into to future we hope to develop our recommendation system using machine learning and we also hope to integrate an eCommerce platform to allow our users to buy their favourite ice cream directly from the app.
