Lite Bitez

Inspiration

Our inspiration for the project was seeing our peers struggle with poor eating habits and even poorer time management skills to fix this problem.

What it does

This app provides the user with a healthy recipe that meets all dietary specifications and requires half the meal planning time, helping them enjoy their favorite foods, save time, and overall become the healthiest happiest versions of themselves.

How we built it

We built this app using MIT App Inventor, and we used Google Slides and Icons8 to help us create a fun and engaging user interface. We also utilized an OpenAI API key.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into challenges with the platform we had chosen to code the app on. It was very unfamiliar to us, and it was difficult for us to work with the user interface, as it is something we are not too skilled with. However, we were able to work around this by watching tutorial videos, and by the end, we felt incredibly well versed in the platform, and we feel better prepared for the next time we may need to use it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are most proud of the fact that we were able to successfully collaborate to create this app together. Initially, we had all been doing our work independent of each other, however throughout the course of building this app, we learned how to collaborate and work together as a group with all aspects of the program. Without us eventually learning to work with and collaborate with each other none of this would have been possible.

What we learned

Throughout the course of building the app, we gained greater technical skills, and a better understanding of each other and what it really takes to work together as a group. We learned how to navigate situations where we were not experienced in a certain area of coding, and how to overcome this. We learned the importance of communication and working together as a team, and just how seamlessly obstacles can be overcome with teamwork.

What's next for Lite Bitez

We would love to add more onto the app, as it is by no means perfect. We were hoping to add a menu where the user would be able to save their favorite recipes, and where they can control the portion sizes in case they were thinking of hosting or something of that sort. We as a group are constantly learning and we hope to be able to add much more onto this app to make it as efficient and useful as possible.
