Description

Oky is the world’s first period tracker app for girls and created with girls. It provides information about menstruation in fun, creative and positive ways, straight into girls’ hands through the tools they use every day – mobile phones. Oky lets girls feel in control and more confident by tracking their periods, and getting the information that all girls should know.

Goals

[1]Goal 1: Enabling Oky code to run on Windows and Linux computers [2]Goal 2: Oky code to run using latest stack. Goals achieved by midpoint: [1] and number [2] has been started

Goal 1 detailed objectives: This project will enable Oky code to be run on other operating systems including Windows and Linux. Currently, the code only runs on Mac and we would like to ensure the code can also be deployed using Windows and Linux.

• The code can be setup and deployed from a laptop which runs on Windows or Linux
• Clear documentation is created so that anyone can easily deploy the code from their machine and setup the environment correctly.
• The code can still be run on Mac without any issues
• The Content Management system (CMS), the mobile apps (android and iOS) and the backend run well independently of the operating system used to deploy it.
• The setup for the code is not complicated and fairly similar regardless of operating system

Goal 2 detailed objectives: Oky code to be run on latest stack. It will also guarantee the app runs for users that are on latest Android and iOS apps.

• The code can run on latest version of Android Studio, Xcode and Visual Code studio. There are no issues, patches are available if required.
• The app is compatible with latest iOS and Android versions
• The code can run on any mac regardless of the software version and the type of chip (M1, M2, intel)
• The code uses latest stack versions of React Native, Node, Typescript

Expected Outcome

Goal 1 detailed expected outcomes

• [ ] Any developer can setup their environment and deploy the code for:

• backend (APIs and database)

• mobile apps (android and iOS)

• Content Management System (CMS) without any issues or errors.

• [ ] Code setup for operating systems which is not Mac is well documented, including software dependencies and respective versions of these.

• [ ] Commands are created to simplify setup process

Goal 2 detailed expected outcomes The code runs and is compatible with latest stack (React Native, Node, Typescript) The app runs without crashes or issues on latest operating systems (both iOS and Android). The app should work same way it currently does (all functionality works the same). The app should pass all test cases, without failing. The code can be deployed using latest versions of Android Studio, Xcode and Visual code studio.

Acceptance criteria

Goal 1 detailed acceptance criteria

• The code can be run using Windows and Linux operating systems and all the components in the project (mobile apps, CMS and backend) work the same as when deploying them from Mac.
• The environment setup and code deployment is clearly documented including all the software dependencies required.

Goal 2 detailed acceptance criteria Oky code to run using latest stack. All the product components (app, cms, backend) work well when run using latest stack. All the functionalities of the product components work as they currently do. The product can pass all unit tests when deployed.

@lalbelda i found this project very intresting and would love to know more about this . I used the app for a while and there are some major user experience issue like the font is not white so unable to read details , by the way i am using an android phone . Over all the app is good but it can be made better for young girls . I would like to have a google if possible to discuss about this project . I am a 3rd year student with 2 years of experience in react-native and MERN stack , proficient in both frontend and backend .

Hello @lalbelda

This project seems very intersting and I am quiet facinated by it. My name is Kushagra, currenty pursuing Bachelors in Computer Science at Scaler School of Technology(First Year). I have developed multiple cross-platform mobile applications using the given tech stack and I believe this project is doable.

I will try to complete this project in the expected timeframe and raise a PR.

Can you share your Discord(or any other communication platform ID) so that I can contact you for any help or updates?

Hii @lalbelda ,

I am Akanshu Aich, a third year BTech student from International Institute of Information Technology, Bhubaneswar. I am writing to express my interest in contributing to this project as a part of DMP 2024. Having thoroughly reviewed the project, I am impressed by its objectives and it seeks the potential for great impact in industries.

With my background in Backend using Django , MERN with practicing hands on Machine learning and DevOps such as Docker, I believe I can make valuable contributions to Machine learning part . My experience includes several projects like Society-Expenditure Manager using Django, Real Estate using MERN and Info-Finding Tool using Machine Learning(LLM), which I believe align well with the goals of your project.

I am particularly interested in fulfilling the requirements of the project and have some ideas on how to approach it effectively. I am committed to adhering to best practices, contributing high-quality code, and actively collaborating with the project maintainers and community.

I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to "Oky" and help further its mission. I look forward to discussing potential contributions and how I can best support the project.

Hi @lalbelda , just to be sure with the expected outcomes, we need to make the mobile app code ( for iOS and Android ) run on Windows + Mac right ? From what I'm able to gather, and please push me in the right direction if I'm wrong, we need to ensure that the app can be built and deployed from both Windows and Mac (which it already runs on) ? I've already forked the repo and I'm looking through the code to make sure I understand clearly what I'd be working with, if given the opportunity.

Hi @lalbelda, I'm considering contributing to the Oky project. Can you share if there's been much activity or progress lately? Also, has anyone made significant progress or a good proof of concept recently? Your insights would help me assess if it's worth submitting a proposal within the next 12 hours. Thanks!

Dear @lalbelda,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my keen interest in joining the Oky project under UNICEF, as described in the recent project brief. I am confident that my background and passion for the skills required—React Native, Node, Typescript, and Postgres—align perfectly with the project's needs.

The opportunity to enable Oky's code to run on Windows and Linux computers, and to update it to the latest stack, excites me tremendously. This project is not only a significant technical challenge but also a chance to contribute to a cause that empowers young girls by providing them with crucial information about menstruation in a fun and engaging way.

Being selected for this project is of paramount importance to me for several reasons. Professionally, it represents a unique chance to grow and hone my skills in cutting-edge technologies and cross-platform development. The goals of this project, such as ensuring seamless deployment across various operating systems and updating to the latest stack versions, are critical areas where I am eager to make meaningful contributions.

On a personal level, I am deeply inspired by UNICEF's mission and the impact Oky can have on the lives of young girls globally. Joining this project means being part of something bigger—an initiative that not only leverages technology but also drives social change and empowerment. My dedication to both the technical and humanitarian aspects of this project is unwavering.

I am passionate about creating robust, user-friendly applications and believe that my skills will be a valuable asset to the Oky team. The opportunity to work with UNICEF and contribute to such an impactful project would be a tremendous honor and a vital step in my professional journey.

Thank you and it's humble request to consider my proposal. I am eagerly looking forward to the possibility of contributing to the Oky project and am available for any further discussions or interviews at your convenience.

Warm regards,
