Workshop 5 Scrum Report about teamesse HOT 4 OPEN

1. What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)?

• I worked on implementing the signup functionality and posting the newly created user data to the mongoDB instance. I was involved with this feature through the entire stack.

2. What were any major issues/challenges you ran into?

• For this week, I was not tasked with hooking up the DB instance to our application. Therefore, I had to wait until that was hooked up until I could post data to the DB. Before it was hooked up to the DB, I just had to store the data in the express server.

3. What do you plan to work on for this coming iteration (2 weeks)?

• I plan on adding authentication, encryption and persistent JWTs so that users can stay authorized throughout the application.

What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)?
In the past iteration (2 weeks), I started with the connection of MongoDB database to our application. I had to change some routes, etc to work with out database rather than just our redux store. I also defined and incorporated the Mongoose Model to connect the front end with the MongoDB database. I also worked on the update request to edit a user profile.

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into?
The main challenges were encountered near the beginning when we had to implement authentication while working on connecting the front end to the back end. Some other issues for myself were working with this iteration's technologies as I am not familiar yet.

What do you plan to work on for this coming iteration (2 weeks)?
In this coming iteration, I plan to create work on the social aspect of pomodoro cards. For example, I will have to implement a way to display the cards on a user profile and perhaps having a button or a way to copy a user profile to send to others. I also plan to be apart of the deployment process - we will collaboratively work on deploying via Heroku

What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)?
In the past iteration, I have worked on developing the MongoDB queries required to display the statistics information. I have also implemented the data visualization of the user statistics.

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into?
The major challenge encountered was designing and implementing the data visualization to effectively display the user's pomodoro statistics.

What do you plan to work on for this coming iteration (2 weeks)?
For this upcoming iteration, I plan to work on implementing additional details for the Explore and Statistics pages, including the feature for users to comment/note on pomodoro stats. Also, I plan to collaborate on app deployment and add the project information to the README.md file.

What did you work on this past iteration (2 weeks)?
I worked on the social clock features including the updated pomodoro clock UI, chatroom functionality, and shared clock controls.

What were any major issues/challenges you ran into?
Working with the WebSockets API. I am new to the concept of websockets, and I opted to create a dedicated server (separate from Express) to handle the websocket requests, and opted for the barebones NodeJS API intsead of a fully featured library such as Socket.io. Getting everything set up was the hardest part, but using the event-based messaging system was intuitive and fun and I learned a lot.

What do you plan to work on for this coming iteration (2 weeks)?
I plan on adding sounds to the chatroom, as well as the ability to add rooms, and create a private pomodoro session.
