PanicZone

Home Screen displaying upcoming deadlines, and crunch periods
Add a coursework, with release date and deadline, along with priority and intensity of workload

Inspiration

Based on our own personal struggles with keeping up with deadlines piling up, we decided to build an app to better manage this perpetual cycle.

What it does

Simply input your coursework release dates and deadlines, and PanicZones displays this information in a handy, colour coded calendar, highlighting when you can take it easy and specific crunch periods.

How we built it

We used Google’s Flutter framework to build this mobile app, using Dart for the front end and Hive for the backend and database. The mock up was created with Figma.

Challenges we ran into

Only one member of our team had previous experience with Flutter so there was a steep learning curve involved.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Created a basic framework and front end interface. Improved our experience with Github and had no major catastrophies.

What we learned

Familiarised ourselves with new technologies such as Flutter, Dart and Hive, and incorporated open-source packages such as Flutter’s table_calendar package

What's next for PanicZone

In the future, we’d like to improve user experience by incorporating a mascot to motivate the user to return to the app. In addition to this, we’d like to add a task management feature to break down large official deadlines into more manageable personal deadlines.
