Inspiration

Our inspiration for this project was we ourselves found ourselves not being productive during times, when we had to do homework, work, even during this hackathon. We also hated how dispersed data on our activity was and wanted to build one central hub for it.

What it does

This project collects data from different sources, including the webcam using computer vision, activity tracking applications, and we're planning on integrating mobile and chrome extension data to collect for our user.

Once this data is collected we verify it against each other (in-case the user left VSCode open or something, that isn't useful data) and recommends to the user things they could improve upon. If they are classified as distracted or tired during their session using the app, we would make recommendations to help them with being more productive.

How we built it

We built this application using Dash, a lightweight Python framework for making quick apps and dashboards. We thought this would be best fit

Challenges we ran into

During development, a lot of our team had to learn Dash on the spot, as well as data science and data visualization in general. It was definitely a learning process, but we got through it!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of the code quality and thought we put into the design of our codebase. We went with a similar style to React, having components and a rendering function, it was fun almost emulating React into Dash.

What we learned

We learned a lot about data science and how to visualize data using Dash and Plotly. Definitely a good tool to have in our pocket in-case we want to pivot into the data science realm.

What's next for Insightful

Next we want to develop both a mobile app and chrome extension to provide more data to verify and recommend steps for our users. The more data the better in our case and these two would provide a lot more data to help our users be more productive and insightful.
