Inspiration

We wanted to try something new using the camera of a phone.

What it does

This app scans barcodes/QR codes and keeps a history of them.

How I built it

We built this app using the React Native framework and Javascript.

Challenges I ran into

We needed to learn the aspects of asynchronous programming in order to store the history data.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The app works as intended with history data persisting after every use.

What I learned

We learned how to code with React Native and how to combine asynchronous code with a synchronous program.

What's next for Barcode/QR code scanner

We will add new features!
