LaundryView++

My university's dorms used an online website, LaundryView, that lets you track when your laundry is done and if any machines are open. Since the website isn't very convenient to use, a student at a different university made an app and API for the service. Since the app is now many years old, it looks outdated and some features aren't working very well anymore. I created a pull request on the repo with added features, but the developer didn't respond.

​

After a few months, I decided to publish the updated version of the app separately, with credit to the original. I published it to the app store under LaundryView++ so any student at any of the supported schools could enjoy the service. Soon, the app got pretty popular so I decided to put in some more work and overhaul the design. I redesigned the app with a new home screen and new navigation. By the end, I had made the following changes to the original app:

​

-New home page with relevant info

-Supports dark mode
-Supports new UI elements
-Timer notifications work correctly for when washers and dryers are done
