Inspiration
Two of our team members arrived late because their alarm clocks didn't fire (one of them make it ring only on weekdays and the other one set his phone to silent mode). So we wonder if there's a way to form an "alarm clock network" to trigger all the alarm clocks nearby to make sure the person is wakened up.
What it does
It synchronizes alarm clocks with friends, making multiple devices ring together at the same time to make prevent somehow the owner's phone doesn't work.
How we built it
Using flutter as frontend and python flask with SQLite as backend.
Challenges we ran into
Setting the alarm clock is WAY MORE complicated as it relates to push notifications and many native modules for Android/iOS specifically.
And we also changed our tech stack from React Native to Flutter after lunch... so the time is extremely tight...
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Making a working app.
What we learned
Something looks simple might in fact be extremely complicated...
What's next for Alarm Bomb
- communicate with server with better efficiency.
- add better algorithms for matching the close phones.
