What's New app

A Barcode Scanner App that reminds you when your products are going to expired.

Product Plan Components

Personal Learning Goals:

• API calls
• Mobile Development
• Making multiple data sources talk to each other

Problem Statement:

Facial products don't last forever. Old makeup loses its quality and can even cause irritation and infections if it's used past its expiration date. Keeping track of all the expiration dates of the beauty products can be difficult given that the expiration date is not on the product. Instead, there is a Period After Opening (PAO) symbol.

I want to create an app that helps the user keep track of their beauty products and their food products for easy reordering when it expires.
