Inspiration

Our app was inspired by its developers, Rayan and Surya, who faced personal challenges in their youth. They struggled with being unathletic and overweight, which made it difficult for them to pursue sports and manage their fitness. These experiences motivated them to create PeakPlay—a platform designed to help others overcome similar struggles, making their journey into sports and fitness more accessible and supportive.

What it does

PeakPlay is designed to ignite a passion for sports by educating users about a wide range of activities. The app also features tools to help users boost their physical performance and achieve their fitness goals. To keep engagement high, PeakPlay offers interactive features like streaks, encouraging users to stay active and committed.

How we built it

Our app was developed using Glide, with research informed by consultations with healthcare professionals and credible online sources.

Challenges we ran into

While developing our app, we faced several challenges, including staying on track, maintaining a consistent development style, and ensuring our app stood out as unique. The distant deadline made it difficult to stay focused, so we implemented mini-goals to keep ourselves on schedule and meet our overall project deadline. Furthermore, because we couldn’t collaborate on the app simultaneously, ensuring uniformity across all sections was a significant hurdle.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Some accomplishments that we are proud of are the wide variety of tools, trackers, and sports available to the users, and a unique feature, the buddy system. Another accomplishment that we are proud of is the fact that the app is easy to navigate and user-friendly. We wrote in bold, added pictures and videos for the visually impaired, and had explicit text for those who are deaf.

What we learned

Developing our app taught us valuable lessons in time management, as we learned to break down large projects into manageable tasks, ultimately improving our ability to meet deadlines efficiently. We also honed our collaboration and communication skills by ensuring everyone on the team stayed coordinated throughout the process. Additionally, this journey gave us a deeper understanding of the significant challenges posed by obesity, inspiring us to create a solution to address this issue.

What's next for PeakPlay

We have exciting plans for PeakPlay's future, including adding more sports to expand our offerings, deepening the depth and explanation regarding the sports, and creating forums where users can connect and support one another. We're also developing a streaks leaderboard and a ranking system based on sports achievements, allowing users to unlock cosmetics and personalize their characters. Additionally, we're working on introducing advanced tools like a weight tracker and progress graphs to provide users with a comprehensive view of their fitness journey.
