How we built it

We built our application using React.js for the front end, with Express hosting the backend server. Node.js was also utilized in the process. The user data is stored in MongoDB. Additionally, Syncfusion was employed to integrate a calendar into our application.

Challenges we ran into

The primary challenge we encountered was selecting a topic. It took some time for our team to finalize an idea. Gathering data for such a sensitive issue posed difficulties as credible sources were scarce. Online information cannot always be trusted, and ensuring credibility was a crucial aspect of our research. We conducted a research asking different women their needs and incorporating all of their requests posed to be somewhat of a challenge.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that despite the initial differences, we came together and successfully completed the entire project. Initially, we had not planned for personalized data, but eventually decided to implement it. On the technical side, it's noteworthy that this was the fastest our team has developed a MERN Stack application, considering that many team members had no prior experience with this technology stack.

What we learned

We learned the importance of complementing each other's shortcomings and providing mutual support within a team. Our learning journey included gaining insights into the MERN stack and understanding the process of hosting our server.

What's next for Rise and Shine

For the next phase, we have decided to incorporate additional features, including water tracking, more personalized diets and exercises, the ability to share data with a gynecologist or a partner, and leveraging user-specific information such as weight, height, and other data to further tailor the algorithm.
