Overview
So far for my ongoing project I have been using software to design an app in many ways. I've...
- Played around with API's by following the Bubble.io Demo Movie App tutorial to build a movie database app on Bubble.io
- Played around with a rough UI design idea for a food tracking app using Bubble.io's design elements
- Tested some code I found on GitHub for an AI powered food tracking app called Careium using Android Studio and my smartphone.
Movie Database App using Bubble.io
Overview
- Created a movie database app using Bubble.io.
- Utilized an API for movie data.
- Implemented "if this, then that" logic for app functionality.
- Used a template for UI design.

UI Development for AI Food App
Overview
- Started UI development for an AI food app.
- Utilized Bubble.io for UI design.
- First-time experience with UI elements on Bubble.io.
- Current UI includes a title, image placeholder, and upload photo button.
UI Development for AI Food App: Connection to IoT
- Future integration potential with IoT devices for real-time nutritional tracking.

UI Development
AI Food App
Careium-AI Food Tracker
Overview
- Looking for Food AI APIs, Tutorials, and Apps
- Discovered Careium-AI Food Tracker on GitHub.
- Copied code into Android Studio and ran the app.
- Some features are operational, while others need refinement.
Careium AI Food Tracker: Connection to IoT
- Potential integration with IoT-enabled kitchen appliances for enhanced user experience.

Careium-AI
For the other two apps, I created them myself using Bubble.io by either following the tutorials or playing with Bubble.io's features. Careium AI, on the other hand, was a pre-made app that I learned from by dissecting (instead of building) it. While Careium AI seemed promising at first, it's AI isn't that good (it thought an apple was a hot dog).

Conclusion
- No IoT integration yet, but there are many ways I could implement IoT into these apps
- The Software Architecture Style is there, it just hasn't been defined yet
- Bubble.io has been a great web-based software for designing apps through "drag-and-drop" UI design and "if this, than that" functionality elements
- I've learned from and got some practice using APIs
