Our group was interested in creating an app that helped users accomplish or meet a personalized goal for each user. Our ideas varied so we combined most of them into Effeciency Nerds. Efficiency Nerds is a productivity social media app that allows users to create their profile, a la MySpace, and access the built-in productivity tools to be effective and efficient. We want people to connect with others to build community and meet their goals together. We are only at the profile development stage and plan to further develop additional features and connectivity opportunities.
Throughout the process, we honed in a lot of our javascript and CSS/Bootstrap skills primarily how to effectively use GitHub and work as a team. We learned about what it’s like working with code for extended periods and the strong need to figure out the broken code.
Follow these steps to set up and run the “Efficiency Nerds” app locally on your machine. Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed: A modern web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
Clone the Repository Clone the repository from GitHub to your local machine using the following command:
bash git clone https://github.com/yourusername/efficiency-nerds.git
Navigate to the Project Directory Change your current directory to the project directory:
bash cd efficiency-nerds
Run the App Open the index.html file in your web browser. You can do this by double-clicking the file or by running the following command in your terminal:
bash open index.html - (For macOS) OR right click to open in a default browser start index.html - (For Windows) OR right click to open in a default browser
The app will open in your default web browser and be ready to use.

## Features
After a Nerd user registers or logs in, they will be redirected to the homepage where they will see a profile overview and different productivity features.
The profile features the ability to upload and change your picture as many times as you like. You will also see a sticker sheet, which is a collection of sticker awards for completing tasks and meeting your goals. At the moment this feature does not work but is under development.
The heart of Efficiency Nerds is the Efficiency Nerd Tools. At the moment users can create their to-do lists by simply adding to our To-Do List form. For users who may struggle with executive dysfunction issues, we created a task randomizer that will draw from the existing to-do list and pick a task for you to do.
The last feature is the Pomodoro Timer. The Pomodoro Method is a task timing technique that gives you 20 minutes to work uninterrupted with a 5-minute break, and users can repeat that cycle as many times as needed. Our timer will run for 20 minutes, but we understand some people have complicated lives so they can stop the timer. Once the timer is stopped Nerds will be shown a congratulatory message.
In future development, we hope to track the frequency of the Pomodoro cycle, and the number of tasks completed, to establish the sticker reward system.
