Inspiration
We were inspired by products like mistplay which rewarded users for performing mundane tasks, such as playing mobile games, as well as a want to support the environment by reducing carbon emissions. Since cars are such a big part of this we wanted to make a product which deincentiveses the use of cars.
What it does
The product is an app which tracks your distance travelled and from that calculates the amount of money you saved in either gas or electricity, and allows you to use some of that money to purchase real-word giftcards and products.
How we built it
Thanks to Tarun and Daniel's experience in HTML and JS we were able to program a mockup for how the website would look.
Challenges we ran into
We ran into challenges such as how we would handle the reward system without making it unfair for either us or the consumer, as well as how to create the app in the first place.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The mockup came out amazing and Armaan's renders and icon design complemented our presentation perfectly!
What we learned
We learned that as long as we stay transparent about our intentions with the app, we will probably gain traction behind it.
What's next for FitFinance
Now, we will study how to use a gyroscope and GPS to ACTUALLY calculate the distances travelled by a user.
