Likhitha Chintareddy’s Status Report for 03/11/2023

In the earlier week, I went through the results of the user studies conducted with various design ideas and came across an interesting paper [linked HERE] that led to a massive redesign of our initial idea. This resulted in our idea going from a simple line-based representation of the number of people waiting to a more visually informative design inspired by the study

Further information on how and why this design is interesting and fits our users’ needs was given in the Design Report. Later in the week, I laid down some preliminary work to rewrite the code for the UI (as our design has been changed). However, due to the nature of spring break and a flu I caught in the earlier part of the week, work has been delayed. I’m currently still working on the UI but will have to simultaneously start working on the AJAX implementation in the later part of the week. This gives me about 4-5 days to finish major sections of the UI where I can focus solely on it. So I’m delayed from the schedule by 4-5 days but working on the AJAX in the later part of the week including the weekends should hopefully make sure I will still be on track without necessarily having to push anything in the schedule.

To answer the question for report #4, as a team, we will all need to become comfortable with using Replit which we have never used.
