Inspiration

We noticed that many people want to step out of their comfort zones but struggle to stay consistent or motivated. Self-help apps feel overwhelming, and social media makes everyone look perfect. We wanted to create a fun, social, and supportive way for people to challenge themselves.

What it does

STEP is an app that helps people break out of their comfort zones through weekly challenges. The app will (ideally) provide users with personalized challenges, and they have a week to complete them. The users can share progress with friends, record step points, and cheer on friends who are also pushing their limits.

How we built it

We designed the user interface in Figma, the backend uses Firebase, while the frontend is built with React. We integrated gamification features like step points, reactions, and a reflection function for accountability and fun.

Challenges we ran into

At first, we ran into some difficulty while we were arrowing down the scope. We brainstormed many ideas, and there are many topics that we are interested in, but we eventually decided to focus on helping people step out of their comfort zones.
