NOTICE:

AQUI is a work in progress! This is all simply the amount I was able to conceptualize and make a mockup for in the past two days. The amount of code I was able to write was incredibly small so I do apologize.

Introduction

AQUI is a mobile app focused on letting people express their current feelings through various mediums other than text like pictures, gifs, and songs. AQUI aims to aid in the UN Goal 3.4, which indicates that the promotion of mental health and well being is a part of is a target within the UN Goal 3 of sustaining good health and well being. Though AQUI may just seem like another social media app, its much more personal than that. Many people fail to realize that isolation and loneliness is a major factor for various health concerns mental and physical due to the toll it takes on your body. Humans are social beings and we need that communication to strive and live, and through AQUI, you can keep in touch with a small circle of friends, and not have to worry about the pressures other social media apps may give you.

Concept and Idea

NOTE: Aqui is a work in progress, and doesn't have a fully functioning back-end or API

At it's core, Aqui is a very simple CRUD application but with a few tweaks and fixes for added flexibility.

Aqui's main function are it's windows. A user could at anytime upload a window which is essentially a status update on their life. Its called a window as it provides a sneak peak into how they feel, what they're struggling with or their life in general.

On the home page you see, the windows of other users you add via phone number (WIP). The windows are various containers that are of course linked to a database and are connected by an API to communicate the information passed around by users. Users can further immerse themselves into the windows of other users through tapping on their window. Users will be then put into an enhanced view of the window with the help of the nested routing system.

Windows are saved on the database and can be enabled to be private or public to other users. Not only that windows only stay on the home page for 24 hours to enable users to constantly update their window to keep in touch with their circle. Users also gain a streak to further encourage them to keep in touch as well.

Another feature that I hope I could implement in AQUI as well are 3rd party apps to further give users more options on different ways to express themselves. An example used here is Spotify, users should be able to share their listening activity and listen along with other users as well.

Tech

AQUI is built with flutter and was tested on the Android Studio IDE and takes advantage of the GoogleNavBar package to give users a sleek and clean experience when navigating through the app.

Challenges

Even though my one man team managed to do a lot concept and UI-UX wise for AQUI in the past two days, the app truly does lack a proper technical foundation and isn't functional at the moment, however I do still plan to develop this idea further after this hackathon and hopefully find ways to further innovate this application.
