  1. When we first started, our biggest problem was with how
  2. overwhelmed we're feeling.
  3. Eventually we found that the best way to manage this
  4. project was through breaking it down into smaller pieces for
  5. each stage of our journey, we would list out all
  6. the tasks are group needed to get done, then we
  7. would split the tasks and assign each other due dates
  8. for the work.
  9. We also had some special circumstances this year that made
  10. work especially challenging as we couldn't meet up due to
  11. COVID-19. Collaboration proved to be tricky.
  12. We solve this by learning, get to work together online
  13. instead. Furthermore, our mentor was also very busy.
  14. So instead of having our mentor there to make sure
  15. we were being productive, we have to hold each other
  16. accountable. Our first major step in our journey was the
  17. research, We brainstormed ideas through thinking of problems in our
  18. own lives.
  19. We then looked at some potential competitors and we thought
  20. of how we can improve upon and gain a competitive
  21. advantage over them.
  22. Our next step was designing how the app would look.
  23. We ran into some problems here with their lack of
  24. design experience.
  25. As a result, we all had to learn how to
  26. use Fig MMA to designer app.
  27. After that, we started developing our app.
  28. We ran into some technical problems here.
  29. The biggest issue was a lack of knowledge about machine
  30. learning, which are apt heavily relied on.
  31. We resolve this by focusing instead on what we did
  32. no, such as artificial intelligence to make connections with the
  33. new material to learn more effectively.
  34. We also tried to use tutorials.
  35. However, we came across some issues with these, for example,
  36. some were very advanced and as a result, we had
  37. to learn the basics using simpler tutorials that didn't teach
  38. exactly what we wanted to accomplish.
  39. Later on, we would then attempt more difficult ones.
  40. Some of the technology we used was also very new,
  41. so there was not much documentation about it online for
  42. those cases.
  43. We learned through a series of trial and error.
  44. Finally, we reached this testing stage of her app.
  45. We found that our app was too slow as it
  46. was actively updating the database in real life.
  47. In real time, we adjusted her code to update the
  48. data outside of the user session, making the code run
  49. much faster.
  50. We also refined the app by improving the design to
  51. be more user friendly and adding new features, such as
  52. loading screen based off the user feedback.
