Summary
Designed and built a family-facing PWA for walk tracking, routine logging, and shared visibility. The product solved everyday coordination gaps with a fast, mobile-first interface.
The Challenge
With multiple family members walking and caring for our dog Pepper, we constantly asked 'Did anyone walk her?' or 'When was she last fed?' No one had a clear picture of who did what or when.
The Solution
Built a PWA that lets anyone in the family log walks in seconds, track daily routines like feeding and toy refills, and see a live history. A leaderboard adds friendly competition, and a public dashboard lets us share Pepper's status with anyone.
