Inspiration

The inspiration for LifeDash came from lifestyle and productivity applications that have positively influenced our daily lives. Many of these apps help people stay organized, build better habits, and manage their time more effectively. Experiencing these benefits firsthand showed us how thoughtfully designed technology can support personal growth and improve daily routines.

We wanted to create an application that reflected those same principles—something practical, simple to use, and genuinely helpful. Our goal was to design a tool that could help users stay on track with their goals while maintaining a clean and accessible interface.

What it does

LifeDash is a lifestyle and productivity dashboard designed to help users keep track of important aspects of their daily lives in one place. The application allows users to organize information, monitor progress, and stay focused on their goals. By presenting information clearly and efficiently, LifeDash aims to make it easier for users to build consistent habits and maintain productive routines.

How we built it

We built LifeDash using Flutter for the front end and Supabase for the backend. Flutter allowed us to design and implement the user interface using Dart, making it possible to build a responsive and visually consistent application.

Supabase provided the backend infrastructure, enabling us to store and manage data, handle authentication, and synchronize information between the application and the database. We structured the project by separating interface components, application logic, and backend communication, which helped keep the code organized and easier to maintain.

Our development process involved planning features, building the interface, connecting backend services, and iteratively testing and refining the application.

Challenges we ran into

One of the main challenges we faced was learning new technologies at the same time. Dart, Flutter, and Supabase each introduced unfamiliar concepts, and understanding how they worked together required time and experimentation.

We also encountered challenges with environment setup, debugging errors, and ensuring that data was correctly stored and retrieved from the backend. Designing an interface that was both functional and visually clear was another difficulty, as it required careful layout decisions and repeated adjustments.

Although these challenges slowed progress at times, working through them improved our technical skills and problem-solving abilities.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of successfully building a working application that integrates a modern front end with a cloud-based backend. Learning Dart and Flutter from the ground up and applying those skills to a functional project was a significant achievement.

We are also proud of creating an interface that is clean, organized, and aligned with the goals of a lifestyle dashboard. This being acheivable through the functionality of pure personalization for the user, though future updates will be nessecarry to make this core functionality accessible. Completing the project strengthened our confidence in our ability to learn new tools and bring an idea from concept to implementation.

What we learned

Through this project, we learned how to program in Dart, build user interfaces with Flutter, and integrate a backend using Supabase. We gained experience working with databases, handling user data, and understanding how frontend and backend systems communicate.

In addition to technical knowledge, we improved our debugging, planning, and project organization skills. We also learned the importance of testing frequently and breaking complex problems into smaller, manageable steps.

What's next for LifeDash

In the future, we would like to continue improving LifeDash by adding more features, refining the user interface, and expanding functionality. Possible next steps include adding more customization options, improving performance, and enhancing data visualization so users can better understand their progress. This will be achieved through further integration of an AI assistant for the purposes of creating, editing, updating, and suggesting new functions and tasks for the user. This helps the user by eliminating decision making, and dead space and saving time and energy. We also plan on integrating this program for commercial purposes.

We are also interested in improving the overall user experience and exploring ways to deploy the application so it can be used by a wider audience. This project has provided a strong foundation, and we see many opportunities to continue developing LifeDash into a more powerful and polished tool.
