Paris

Named after the man who shot Achilles' Heel to take him down, Paris is an app to solve my personal Achilles Heel: working from home. I built Paris so you can set a location that you want to be at by a certain time, and then be at that location by that time — or else you are charged $10. I used this to force myself to get out of the house on weekdays and weekends to go to the library where I'm much more productive.

The app is written in React Native with a NodeJS back end and MongoDB database. This was the first app I built using React Native! The back end is abstracted so you can specify whether you want to make sure you are inside or outside of a certain location by a certain time, set which days of the week this should happen, set how large the buffer distance and time is, and more.
