Contents
Week of Jan. 23 - Jan. 29
- created our WikiPage
- brainstormed ideas regarding nutrition, groceries, and efficiency
- considered creating an iPhone app that reads the barcodes on food products, and used the codes to help the user live a healthy lifestyle
- talked about the possible applications a health-related iPhone app could have in hospital use
- decided to instead make an iPhone app that aids a shopper as they make their way through a grocery store, such as Schnucks
- brainstormed a list of functions our app could perform that would aid the average shopper: speed through the store, ease in finding products, map of the store, what products are available for purchase, how long their shopping run will take, etc.
Week of Jan 30. - Feb. 5
- the three members of our team met up on Wednesday to draft an outline of our proposal
- drafted an overview and brainstormed a list of challenges, objectives, and a budget
- we were assigned Andrew O’Sullivan as a TA
- met with Andrew on Thursday and finalized each the components of our proposal (mentioned in previous bullets
- he helped us brainstorm ideas for our demo in order to make it interactive
- with Andrew's help, we learned the basics of how to create an iPhone app, including the possibility of needing to obtain a developer's license
Week of Feb. 6 - Feb. 12
- met with Andrew on Tuesday to discuss problems with our proposal
- added the challenge and the objective to make our app able to scan a limited number of barcodes on grocery items, so that our project is able to carry out a demo rather than a simulation
- Maggie researched app development and started working on an app developing lesson provided by Apple https://developer.apple.com/library/content/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/DevelopiOSAppsSwift/BuildABasicUI.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015214-CH5-SW1
- Amelia researched different apps that have similar capabilities to our idea, including the Schnucks app
- Anna edited and revised our proposal
Week of Feb. 13- Feb. 19
- this week we addressed the problems Humberto brought up with our proposal
- we switched grocery stores so that we can have access to a list of all the products and the UPC codes
- we added access to an amazon cloud database to our budget to store the data that our app will utilize
- updated the project proposal to explicitly say what the app interface will look like
- updated "time" to an approximate time that will be spent in the store to account for users not following the routes perfectly
- this week all of the team members were tasked with learning swift language and completing a tutorial that teaches how to apply swift to xcode to create an app interface
- we used these two links: https://www.airpair.com/swift/complete-guide-to-swift and https://developer.apple.com/library/content/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/DevelopiOSAppsSwift/
