Gabriella’s Status Report for 9/21

What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours)

This week I contributed to the project proposal presentation slides. I also did some more research on the database plan for holding the clothing items and their classification information.

I am more confident in our choice of using MySQL as it accommodates concurrency well (both the Jetson Nano and the Flutter app would be accessing it), and it is more scalable which would be ideal for having multiple users with the app as the project grows.

Additionally, I completed the setup of Android Studios and Flutter to prepare for working on the application. Originally we were planning to make the application for IOS, but while setting everything up I found out you can only develop IOS apps on a Mac so I am now creating an Android app that will be cross platform and work on IOS. I completed this tutorial to get used to working with Flutter as I have never used it before. Here is a demo of the app I made using the tutorial and an android emulator.

I have not begun working on the Figma mockup yet as originally planned, as instead we have prioritized finishing the functionality of the app before adjusting the style/look. Although we aren’t setting up the UI yet, I did look into some design ideas for later. This and this are the design concepts I am thinking of using for developing the app’s frontend.

Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?

We are reordering the schedule, to prioritize getting our app working first and then making it pretty/working more on the front-end design later. Based on this new ordering, I am on schedule!

What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?

Next week, I am planning on creating the design presentation slides. I also am hoping to set up the Github repo for the application and I want to get started on setting up the database.
