Fuel Smart - Live Fuel Price Tracking App
For all the drivers that are trying to save some gas money. 🙇♂️
Started as passion project, not really a mobile developer but ended creating one. Project started 4th week of January giving 30mins - 1 hour a day progress. Learned everything from scratch and forced to expedite the project because of the ongoing fuel crisis.
This is now what it looks like 1 month after going live.
It has massive support in some areas of the Philippines and is sustainable but it is struggling to retain users on areas that has no data yet 😞
Features ⛽:
✅ Crowdsourced prices
➡️Usually requires 2-3 exact same reports to be verified but for now in the early stage, disabled muna.
➡️Distance constraints: User can only update a fuel station's price when it is near to that area by approximately 3km. Some users take pictures and update the prices later when on when they are on full stop driving.
➡️Price guard, only accepts values near the current market price average per fuel type Price photo capture, works only on mobile app using ML kit as tesseract.js for browser seems insufficient.
✅ Dynamic station indicators
➡️Green: Prices were updated on the current week's fuel price adjustments
➡️Red: Prices were not updated after the week's price adjustments
➡️Gray: Stale, no fuel price info yet. No DOE prices as this creates user expectation when in reality, the actual fuel price is not close to the DOE's. P.S. Fuel stations can set their own fuel prices higher or lower than DOE's.
✅10 cheap fuel list
➡️Displays the top 10 cheapest fuel based on the filters of fuel type, distance, brand, and max price.
✅Route Planning
➡️Set a route and the app will display only stations near to that.
➡️Filters and sets the prices along your route in the "Cheap fuel list" Purple markers: Means that it is the cheapest fuel along your route.
✅Leaderboards

✅Vehicle Registration Board
✅And many more features to go around.
