“What would you build at MLH Prime: Spring Finale 2016?”

I don’t know if it’s just me or not but I can’t seem to get myself out of my bed. I had over 10 solutions to fix this problem but of course.. they all failed… One trick was to place my phone(alarm clock) across the room. It worked for about a couple days but I then ended up back on the bed. Another solutions was to have multiples alarm clocks to wake myself up. So because of this, it should give me an alert state of mind to get myself out of bed. Haha you thought…

So I have this idea. Something a little bit more forceful… For this hackathon I want to reverse engineer a scale.

Oh wow a scale how impressive. I know I know. But check this out this scale is also an alarm clock. I’ll be hooking up a raspberry pi to this scale which also will include a weight sensor. When the alarm goes off, you would have to stand on it for 5 minutes to have it go off. Cool right? This idea would totally force me to wake up. I’ll also be adding a mobile app using the Ionic2 Framework/Angular2 to connect with the scale. The scale will send data to the server to keep track of you weight as well. You will also be able to set the time for it to go off including the standing time as well(in case 5 minutes isn’t enough) Because you know the best time to weigh yourself is in the morning. And if that’s not enough I’ll also be adding a Apple watch app as well which will be made using swift which has the same function that the mobile app would have.
