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 users. The ultimate goal is to get students on campus to use the app, so it needs function and form to accomplish that end!

Next Tuesday we demo our individual projects, and after that our attention will turn entirely to the team project. We are all excited to see what we can continue to create in these next few weeks!
