## Devpost submission (written by the team)

### Inspiration

The last time I struggled with allergies, I was left to deal with a Pollen Index. How would I know which allergy affects mess or whether or not to go outside at all?

### What it does

Synthesizes pollen counts along with the 3 most influential weather conditions to calculate a score from zero to 100. The closer you are to 100, the more time an allergenic person) can spend outdoors.

### How we built it

I used React to set up the front-end website and Claude in GitHub Copilot to set up UI. Express.js backend handles API endpoints (weather, pollen, Gemini).

### Challenges we ran into

Couldn't find a way to update the UI after the user agrees to location permission. Ensuring params from front end were received correctly in the backend end point!

### Accomplishments we're proud of

I solo-built an entire frontend to backend (full-stack) system within 36 hours, which is a massive leap forward for me!

### What we learned

Automating busywork with UI-related stuff (using AI) can buy you more time to debug the critical issues. And on debugging, I should know my limit. If it's manageable, move on to new features. This is a hackathon, not a pro build.

### What's next

Finish journal entry page: Add Entry Button Display all entries so far (each with a delete button and a "match" percentage for the top allergens/environmental triggers Create a "personal profile" by using the averaged out vector embeddings of their entries Use the "personal profile" to create a more personalized Outdoor index and advice Add Entry Button Display all entries so far (each with a delete button and a "match" percentage for the top allergens/environmental triggers Create a "personal profile" by using the averaged out vector embeddings of their entries Use the "personal profile" to create a more personalized Outdoor index and advice
