Brainstorming

In the first stage of our prototyping process, we thought about what our end-users would like in our app and the gaps in existing nutrition apps that were possibly worth filling.

We then classified them according to 3 tiers:

• Essential: Features that were critical for our app to have.

• Typical: Features that competing apps commonly would have.

• Novel: Features that competing apps didn't have/could have implemented better.

Prototyping the User Interface

Before we got to writing code, we thought it would be prudent to get a clear idea of what we wanted our app to look like first.

Thus, we drafted some screens that our final app would have using Figma.
