Mr. Hydrate Me: A Personalized Hydration Tracker
Stay hydrated with tailored water intake goals and weather-adaptive suggestions, all in a app.
Context
Many individuals struggle to maintain proper hydration due to busy lifestyles and lack of awareness about their water needs. This app addresses the common challenge of tracking daily water intake while providing personalized recommendations based on factors like age, weight, and local weather. By making hydration management accessible and engaging, I aimed to help users achieve optimal health through better hydration habits.
What I built
The app features a personalized hydration goal system that calculates water intake recommendations tailored to each user. I implemented weather-adaptive suggestions that adjust hydration targets based on real-time temperature and humidity. Additional features include a dashboard for tracking intake, customizable notifications, and social leaderboards to foster community engagement and motivation.
Technical approach
Built with React Native and TypeScript, the app utilizes Expo for d development and deployment. Zustand is employed for state management, ensuring efficient data handling across components. The architecture follows a modular structure, separating authentication, main tabs, and user onboarding into distinct folders. Firebase is integrated for user authentication and data storage, enhancing security and scalability.
Results
The app successfully meets the hydration needs of users by providing tailored recommendations and tracking capabilities. Engagement features like leaderboards have encouraged users to stay consistent with their hydration goals. Through building this app, I gained valuable insights into user-centered design and the importance of integrating real-time data for personalized experiences.
