Week 4 OSL Development

So far this week are are in the process of drafting how our app will look in addition to it's main functions. After meeting with members of the OSL team, they discussed the two most important features they wanted, while the rest would be great but extra. The OSL department needs to be able to track events students attend by them scanning a QR code with their phones. The app they are currently using offers too much, and they said they would just like to know first and last name and possibly year of students that attend events. Keeping track of this information would also allow them to use a "lottery" incentive to offer prizes to those in attendance. In addition, they were eager about an event page that would list Augustana events and would allow students to add it to their calendar, that way students would know what is going on in campus as well as be able to get reminders after they add it. 

 We have a basic outline of what this app will look like already on Android using "Dummy" events so far and adding them to the calendar which already has a built in reminder feature. We still have not linked it to our Web App yet that will create the events, or created our database since Firebase needs a little more understanding.

Week 6 OSL App Development

Work on the app development has slowed down this week as we all have our individual projects due soon. We expect development on the OSL App to swing back into full production next week. However, we have made some progress this week to talk about! We have the skeleton structure of what our Web App will look like. In our meeting with students from the OSL, something they asked for was a simple, streamlined app. One that can add events and do it quickly. We have kept that in mind during development and want to provide the easiest user experience. As we progress further, that will be at the forefront of our development decision making. On the Android Application, instead of storing pictures in our local files, we now storing pictures in firebase and then sending that information to the app. It's an important step in the appearance of the app, as the OSL students that use the web application will be able to choose their own picture when making an event and display it to the end...
