Week 7 OSL App Development

This week, we met with the client to discuss our progress with the App. We first went over the Android App. We showed the UI, how information is displayed, adding events to google calendar, the in-app qr code scanner, and layout 
settings. They liked all aspects of what we created, and gave us the go-ahead to continue development. Then we showed them our new storyboard for the Web App component. They appreciated the focus on core features and functionality, and said that would be fine moving forward. Overall, what we have so far is falling in line with the clients wishes. 

In regards to app development, this should be the last slow week. We just turned in our individual projects on Tuesday, and are now all focusing on this project. In the Android component, some adjustments were made how the events display their information, making it look a sleeker. The next area of development for the Android App is sorting the events list, creating themes, and some other aesthetic changes. 

In the Web App development, there are two objective's this week and next week: creating the ability to make an event, and researching the qr code generator. Creating an event from the web app and sending it to the Android App is core functionality, so that will take precedent in development. The other area is going through java script libraries to find the best way for the Web App to generate QR codes. The QR codes will be generated for individual events, and will aid the lottery prize system the OSL intends to make as an incentive to get students to come to events.

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...
