Inspiration

We were inspired by our previous failures. We attempted this same idea at another hackathon but failed due to our in-proficiency in React Native. The judges disliked our project but we still thought that the idea was great.

What it does

It is a fitness app meant for building a community of people dedicated to fitness. The app will recommend different jogging routes based on your interests and if there are other people running in the same area at the same time then you will have the option to meet up with them and run together.

How we built it

The app was built with flutter as the front-end with rust as our backend with shuttle.rs and axum being used to deploy it. In addition we used the Google Maps and Weather Api.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into issues with bridging the rust backend with the flutter frontend.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our UI.

What we learned

We learned how to connect a flutter front-end to a rust-backend

What's next for Pacepals

We will add an algorithm to recommend routes based on how many people of similar interested takes. Additionally, we will include "events" and "quests" which we hope will game-ify fitness.
