• Goals

  • Our main goal was to make some progress with Firebase Storage. We were planning on getting as far as possible, as discussed with our sponsors.

  • We also wanted to make some more progress with the audio and video, mostly by making it look a little better as well as connecting it to Firebase.

  • Lastly we wanted to create a quick mockup site that works for demonstration purposes.

​

• Time Spent

  • Over the two weeks, I spent most of my time working on the Firebase storage (~16 hrs). I spent a lot of time trying to make sure that the storage was even connected, and to do that I went through the installation process multiple times because I wasn't sure if it was working. This included going into the ios and android files and adding lines of code as well as installing packages. The biggest problem I had was storing things in the storage bucket and trying to retrieve them from my code. This was the main reason why I kept trying to make sure that everything was installed correctly. I realized that it wasn't necessary to reference my storage bucket in any way, and I could just reference the file directly. So I was finally able to make sure that the Firebase was connected correctly, as well as figuring out the correct way to reference different files in the bucket. 

  • Then I spent some time adding a couple more pages that our sponsors wanted, such as the interview questions (~4 hrs).

  • The rest of the time was spent making the website (4+hrs) and trying to make it look as similar to our sponsors original mockups. I have some questions for them regarding layout for our meeting of 4/9.

  • I also made some minor cosmetic changes like changing the back buttons and the colors and the titles of some of the screens.
