Reports from 2022

Halloween Ambition 2022

I've been tracking the number of trick-or-treaters for 13 years. This is the first year I've had an app.

This year I built a custom Android app to capture the quantity of each candy. The app sends data to the cloud, and I use some Google systems to bring the data into an analytics/reporting tool. View the Architecture diagram for more details.

Roadmap

Here are some features planned for the future

Mobile app:

confirmation chime to provide better feedback on button tap
handle multiple screen sizes
internal app refactoring
improve user-specific counting

New Webapp:

build webapp for real-time updates
enable candy management
