The application follows a client-server architecture where the frontend handles user interaction while the backend manages application logic and data storage.
The backend is responsible for:
- Managing user data
- Handling food logs and fitness information
- Processing application logic
- Communicating with the SQLite database
The database stores persistent user information, including:
- User accounts
- Food entries
- Health information
- Fitness-related data
This project was developed using Agile/Scrum practices.
The team followed:
- Sprint planning sessions
- Daily stand-up meetings
- User stories and acceptance criteria
- GitHub issue tracking
- Collaborative development and testing
Features were developed incrementally across multiple sprints, with team members working on frontend, backend, database, and integration tasks.
