Now the habits are saved in the backend successfully, i made options for both online and offline

Created the authentication ui, integrated with the backend, now the user login workflow works smoothly. i have kept the option to login as guest. which will be able to work offline, but not access the online features like leaderboard, the guest can see leaderboard but cannot participate unless they create an account.

Back at it again, i am making this online, and adding some cool features... like leaderboard and challenges.

fixed a bug, home screen was crashing on load, so fixed the error and now it is working smoothly

Finally, after whole lot of setting up the graphics and paywall, today, even though i could not log in the visual studio, my app is finally live and ready for everybody to test. This is a small startup i made, let's see where this goes 🚀.

My app is live but in closed testing, after that i will promote it to open testing, and then it will be live in production, i'll ship it then.
Added in app purchases, as AI costs, so i restricted free users to 3 food logs, when they buy pro subscription, they get unlimited food logs.

I submitted the app, but some changes needed to be made, i deployed the backend and used that link instead of localhost, so now i have made those changes and submitted the app again.

Successfully completed the basic app, i submitted the app in closed testing in google play... next step is to integrate in app purchases and handle users based on subscription level.

I meant to add this image with previous devlog, also, i worked on the Foods screen where you can see all the food logs you did on the app.

WOW!!! Successfully made this user screen, added Github and Hackatime like heatmap, but with a twist, if you exceed the calorie goal, your box gets lighter, the more close to the goal you are, the darker the box is. Now working on settings.

Successfully completed the onboarding screen... Managed to store and process info to get the daily calorie target goal, and now working on the user screen.

Working on the onboarding screen, the basic screen is done, now i am allowing users to select the metric in which they want to input info.

Successfully managed to run the react-native picker library, now the prototype of the wheel picker is created... now working on the Onboarding screen.

Made this screen and modified ai to give the food summary too. also made the button to remove the food, and backend to remove that food.

Successfully managed to get all the foods for the user, and new foods are getting added correctly now with the timestamps in order to sort them in latest first order.

Modified the AI to display generate more json properties like nutrients etc, and now i am storing the food data in the database too.

YEESSS!!! Finally, i have connected with ai. The contact has been made...
i am now successfully sending the image and it is responding with the details.

Successfully made the feature where the images are now being sent to the backend and uploaded to the cloud storage. the rough part is done, now i need to make it in such a way that uploads and other stuff stay organized.

Created a minimal splash screen with this animated fade effect, also working on the home screen.

Successfully set up the user authentication system, complete frontend and the backend.
Making this new app, i will scale it to production level, real big. so stay tuned, this is a startup being born, let's see where this goes.

FINALLY!!! submitted my app for review, will ship this project once the app is live.

Ok, so i have decided to keep it working locally, if i do the backend stuff, it will be slow and may affect user experience, so if everything is working locally why shift it online?
I removed the online logic and the app now works completely offline.
There's a bug or unfinished feature in shop where if you buy one thing it is not being added to your inventory, you just buy it, so after fixing that, i hope it will be production(offline) ready.

Successfully got the shop working accurately. any suggestions of ui or items to add is much appreciated, Looking good so far, much more work is remaining... currently everything is working locally, i got to make a backend to make a leaderboard and ability for the user to keep sync of the data.

Finally the shop's basics are working correctly, successfully bought the rabbit's headphone with hard earned carrots 🥕. Also the carrots currency was not in sync before and after visiting the shop, that is fixed too. Currently the shop screen only consists of a button that says buy headphones and the headphones are bought and carrots are deducted, next step is to improve the shop.

Successfully created the habit heatmap, the stats screen is looking good now, it works exactly like the github's or hackatime's heatmap. now working on the shop.

Added streak logic, and created stats screen, you can check your stats in the app, and most importantly, all the data is being stored locally, no data is being collected, so it will be really good user experience, really fast, no delay.

Made the My Habit screen, you can now add, remove and edit the habits correctly. but this is all happening locally, it will work without having internet.

worked on adding the habits, using @react-native-async-storage/async-storage. the habits are being added correctly, i am thinking of making the app work locally as well as online too if user chooses to, for functionalities like leaderboard etc.

Talked to the staff member and talked about the reason why my previous ship got a bad payout, so after going through the points, now i am fixing everything for my next projects.
and this time i am managing my github repository properly and commit side by side.

For this devlog, i am working on adding the habits, the frontend is completed. and now i will work on the proper functioning of the MyHabitsScreen. and also made a good ReadMe.md.

Worked on the backend, now the user management is working perfect, with proper toast messages using react-native-toast-messages.
also made this cute splash screen and i added the fade in and a subtle scale up animation using react-native-reanimated.

Made the user authentication screens, just the frontend yet. Previously there was a problem setting up the react-native-reanimated but after some research, it is not a problem in this project. Checkout the UI i created, any suggestions and feedback is much appreciated

🚀 My App is live now, ready to ship 🚀
This is an adventure app. so you can use it in your free time with your friends and family and have a great time. what a great memory to make.

I have completed building my app, and it is ready for production.
I sent it to google console for review and i'll ship the project once the app is live.
It was a really nice period, learnt alot of stuff, before today, i have never worked with maps, but in this app with a little help of ai, not much, just a little, i managed to integrate it in my app efficiently. 🚀

today i worked on the feature in which when the user finds an object, the user is then asked to verify the object through an image, then user can select to capture image or upload from library, then that image is sent to gemini and it tells if it is the object to be found or not. 🚀
Much more work to do...

WOOAHH!!! finally, after 11 hours... I FIXED THE BUUGGG...
well... my app is not crashing now, that means it is fixed to some extent 😅.
Mann... feels like i conquered the world today.
So, today's progress is that you can now join the game room, and you get shown the object riddle when you are in the object radius, but this feature needs work. that's it for today. 🏆

Trying really hard to fix this problem, with getting user location in react-native, but nothing seems to work, if i upgrade, then the whole app crashes, if i downgrade, the app works fine untill the screen comes where react-native-geolocation-service is meant to be used. But it is nothing, i'll fix it inshallah.

Ok, so i did the backend on joining the game room which is incomplete, currently it is just sending mock data for ease. The app is now creating game rooms successfully.
The participant is not being added to the game yet, it is pending. currently i am trying to make the user experience smooth, like joining the game, waiting for the game to be started and finishing game, after that i will work on the other features.

Currently working on the core game features, i have create a kind of game room and then you can add or remove the items from the room, currently working on entering and leaving room with update to the game room.

I wanted to integrate maps in my app, and when i installed react-native-maps and tried to run the app, the app kept crashing, spent too much effort here, tried different libraries which were not that good, then i decided i need that and i need to make it work, with some research on stackoverflow and chatgpt, the problem was still there. then i read an article discussing to download an older version and then i downloaded an older version and then it worked, feels like a little victory 🏆.

Really excited about this app, it is about bringing the families and relations close together again. I am not finished for the day but i have to log the time so it doesn't overflow 10h.
So, i have completed the user management and some of the game details... i am currently on integrating maps into my app, NEVER DONE IT BEFORE 😅, so i am learning along the way through trials and alot of errors. I am really excited about this, let's goo 🚀

Completed the authentication system, everything about authentication is done, the frontend of the app, and the backend user handling is done, saving passwords by encrypting by hashing using bcryptjs. Next is the core app experience, let's go 🚀.

The app is live now!!! 🚀. I changed the demo url, in case it doesn't change, i changed the previous demo url to redirect to new url as previously i noticed people were not using the new demo url. ENJOY THE RECIPES, SATISFY YOUR APPETITE! 👨‍🍳

Ok guys be ready for the adventure , i am taking the treasure trek app to the android.
Helpful for parents, friends and many others to create and shape and strengthen the bond of relation between them by playing in an engaging fun game. Let's see where this goes, (ia). 🚀

I will ship the project once it is live on the store.

Finally, the app is ready, integrated backend with frontend. the app works and works smoothly. what an app i made 🚀.

I finished all the frontend work for now... now the backend part remains, and i will integrate it to the frontend

So much done in a day, still remaining and i am working.
I made the basic authentication and it is working now.
Then I moved to recipe handling, and currently working on that... developing the frontend part then I will move to the backend and integrate the two (ia).

Added for you and following for selective recipes, added ui for comments, functionality remaining... added control on the account so the user is in control of his data. improved fetching logic to make it seem like it is happening in realtime, no delays.

OK... So today, i made the user profile, listed all the user's recipes and the recipes user liked.
added the followers and following text only for now, recipe count. and added user bio which is not editable for now.

Now recipes are stored in the backend, you can like recipes and unlike them.
Ingredients have been added too. you can add ingredients to get recipes related to the ingredients.

Main focus today was frontend, built the frontend and tweaked the backend. now added a button to like recipes but it is not working for now.

Created a beautiful loading screen, and tried to make the UX more engaging.
Really close to building a complete app, so join the waitlist... it is going to be launched soon.

Changed the dashboard, keeping it simple and professional.

Ok, real talk, I was secretive about my project and did many secretive devlogs, i was worried that my idea may not be stolen, but now i saw that voters will see the devlogs too, so here it is... My AI Content Platform... That turns your ideas into videos...

The basic core functionalities are done, just the finishing touches are left, will be shipped in a week or so. Hope you'll love it.

Another backend deployed on the cloud finally 😵‍💫.

Now moving to the frontend, making the mobile app in React-Native.

Managed to deploy the backend on the google-cloud, This was my first time deploying something on cloud. Many new things to learn. I was surprised when I realized that it is feeling hard for me to setup this cloud backend, imagine the work the makers of the cloud thing went through.
Building Something Big, Stay Tuned!
