GuiltBytes

Cover

Inspiration

= In America, 1 every 3 adults is overweight. While brainstorming topic for ShellHacks-2024 we ordered Dunkin at 2 o’clock of the night. Then while eating those donuts, we had a talk on how healthy foods we had earlier today that cross those donuts and coffee. And we realized, we had Burger King in morning and Burger King for lunch. There we got the idea for GuiltBytes - a platform where you log all your unhealthy eatings.

What it does

= GuiltByte is a platform where user can log all their unhealthy eatings. The main problem with a fast and busy life is that we eat but we hardly notice what we are eating for the hunger. But we all are aware of what Obesity is and we all want to be fit - at least most of us. GuiltBytes: Log all your unhealthy eatings. Give you an instant statistics about eating that food in that quantity, therefore with every log, you will get a fact that you may know but not surely or a fact that you need to recall at that moment! Calculates your BMI. Instantly shows your BMI report and category so you do not need to think about what is you on the scale. You have a record section personal to only you that has every food and BMI report you every input.

How we built it

GuiltBytes is made on HTML5, CSS, and heavily on JavaScript. For the time being and as new hackers, we did not include Backend and database, but if we have a plan to work on it in near future.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

As new Hackers, we have no idea that we could too complete a project. Initially it was really tough just to finalize an idea. Then the coding part and taking our imagination into reality was another challenge. We are glad and grateful that as first-time hackers, we explored different interesting workshops, had experienced our first career fair, and finally made an effective memento of our ShellHacks-2024, that is GuiltBytes.

What we learned

ShellHacks taught us that it is the teamwork that matters over how we are in the team. We have a group of three, where no one have any good idea on coding. But even after, we had our roles and responsibilities bold and accomplished.

What's next for GuiltBytes

In near future, we are expecting to introduce this feature “GuiltBytes” in Pixel Watch so users can input and track their unhealthy eatings any time anywhere from a click on watch!

I contributed on planning and served the "Coding" part of the project - to make the idea come true in reality. Even though we had a little more planned about next few features of GuiltBytes, but for the sake of time, we limited with basic features that define GuilltBytes. But if we get the chance, we are looking forward to work more on this cause!
