Disce

Inspiration

The recent pandemic has been a source of boredom so we thought: "Why not design something that helps us cope with boredom while teaching new skills?"

What it does

It is a social media app that empowers you to teach others different skills and share interesting ideas.

How we built it

We made our app in 3 steps. Step 1: Plan, We planned out our app on Figma, we planned our what screen we will work on. Step 2: Develop, We went into Xcode and started coding our app. Step 3: Add backend, We added firebase to our app for functionality.

Challenges

We ran into many challenges when making our app. Most of the issues were with the login. Since firebase is not fully supported for macOS and we couldn't find much info on how to enable it. We tried out different things until it eventually worked.

Accomplishments that we're proud of & What we learned

I(Sarvagya) learned how to do Swift front end(this was the first time I code a proper swift app) while Kushagra learned how to use backend in swift by integrating it with Firebase. We are very proud of what we have achieved.

What's next for Disce

Our app for the most part is complete. We feel like the UI could be improved and is something we would change before publishing on the app store. We started on a website for the app but did not get to far so that too is something we need to complete.
