Time Visualization Using Streamlit

A lightweight data visualization dashboard developed to analyze and explore productivity data collected through the Jiffy ecosystem. Built using Python and Streamlit, the application retrieves activity logs and streak records from Firebase Realtime Database and presents them through interactive visualizations and summaries.

The project was created to complement the Jiffy applications by providing a dedicated interface for understanding the data that had been accumulated over time.

Project Overview

The various Jiffy applications were designed primarily for data collection and storage. Over time, these applications generated a substantial amount of productivity data, including activity logs, study sessions, and habit-tracking records.

While the data was being stored effectively, there was no convenient way to explore trends, compare activities, or gain insights from historical records. To address this need, I developed a separate Streamlit-based dashboard that connects to the existing Firebase Realtime Database and transforms raw records into meaningful visualizations.

The project serves as a reporting and analysis layer for the broader Jiffy ecosystem, allowing productivity data to be reviewed in a more structured and accessible format.
