Jeremy gave an update on what we have been doing the past week--
delegating roles
looking at potential tools for development
found a software that has templates to start the app
Updates From Nikki
We should now all have access to the Google Drive
Nikki has been in contact with another person who works on the event, Jennie, and has a list of every activity for the entire event that she will email us
Nikki's husband has working on mapping out the event so we can use it for the app
The vendor and food truck map / list won't be finalized until later, so we may have to create a temporary template that Nikki can update with the information closer to the event and for future events
Nikki is still looking into the non-profit license pricing for uploading the app to Apple iOS app store once the app is done
Things Discussed After Meeting
"codecanyon.net" has several Flutter templates Jeremy has been looking at for an event management application
we may be able to find one we all like then update it to meet our needs
FlutterFlow also has a "Marketplace" within their website where we can find application templates
02/01/2024 Meeting:
Updates Given to Nikki
Jeremy showed Nikki our first drawn-out mockup and explained our ideas behind it
We told Nikki we will be working on the map portion this next week since it will be one of the main focal points of the application
Based on the fact that their will also be food trucks at the event, we may also split up the vendor page so there is an individual food and vendor page within the application
Updates/Requests From Nikki
Hungry Hungry Jeepers will include all the food trucks at the event, which will all be located together in the same area
The types of vendors at the event will vary; toys, jeep parts, clothes, etc.
She would like there to be an area within the user's profile in the app that can include the user's Jeep information/Jeep name/what they have done to their Jeep, potentially in the bio section
As a group, we agreed that the best notification type for our app may be a push notification through the app to the user's phones
She confirmed that an application is free to upload on iOS for non-profit organizations
She would appreciate any help on this project post-graduation if anyone is interested (good for resume)
Discussed After Meeting
Begin creating DFD for documentation draft submission on Sunday; Nicholas to start this, but team collaboration will be included where needed
Logan to take charge and complete a wireframe of the app's UI for Sunday's submission that is due
We will not meet in person next Tuesday, but will have both a coach and client meeting on Thursday
Everyone to sign the Team Charter draft Claire typed out
Continue to look at Flutter and FlutterFlow so everyone is familiar with how each works
Everyone to look at the documentation draft before it is submitted on Sunday
02/08/2024 Meeting:
Notes from Jennie
Jennie is the coordinator for the events--she deals with documentation and scheduling
Jennie is to send us a full list of the food trucks, as this list is now locked in
Vendors for the event will be accepted onto the list up until the beginning of May
Jennie has an approved route of the city for the convoy that she will work on adding street names to before sending to us
She also asked if we were going to have an interactive map for the convoy on the application
Jennie will give us the list of the 3 musical acts that will perform during the closing party at the event; still being finalized as of now
Will include their names, time slots, FB link, etc.
General Discussion w/ Nikki and Jennie
A map of the obstacle course is wanted for the application once the mapping team finishes their map
Discussed the idea of adding a wait counter for the obstacle course to the app, since it is far away from the main event and people will have to wait in line to join
It was asked if there was a way to add a notification to tell people when the first Jeep has entered the convoy and obstacle course, or when the last one has left the convoy and obstacle course
Discussed how this may need to be formatted as a push notification that Nikki can control like the other notifications we will include
Later decided that this data may just be needed for the organization to have next year instead of being included as a notification
Nikki says Apple development/registration for non-profits is almost done on her side
Finalized list of sponsors will not be done until May
We updated Nikki that we do not think an interactive map will be a good idea right now because of the crowdedness of the vendors at the event center
02/22/2024 Meeting:
Notes with Nikki
Obstacle course mapping will be done as spring starts
Let Nikki know of any extra data we may need for ERD and interface design
List of things we still need, for reference:
vendor list
food truck list (should be done)
musical acts info
map of obstacle course
list of vendors who are already finalized
Coach Meeting
Now at the halfway point of the semester
Coach J recommends that we grab an export of the UI in FlutterFlow then start integrating with/plugging data into the database
want to get as much real data into the interface as we can to make sure it works properly so far
can also use what is already in FlutterFlow for others to use and work/start on the code needed to hook up the back-end to the front-end
potentially need to get an alternate path/route ready for Firebase in case our Flutter integration does not work as planned
02/29/24 Meeting:
Updates for Nikki
Logan showed Nikki the UI we currently have
Nikki thinks the UI looks really good already; says it looks user friendly
Ticket Tailor--can it be compatible with the app?
Not necessary, can be done manually but could be something additional to help during event
Nikki says that the most reviews we can add will be good--does not need to only be for food trucks
There are no capacity limits in any area of the event
Need to talk to Nikki about taking out social aspect and replace with ticketing since she said users will need help with QR codes
04/04/2024 Meeting:
Updates for Nikki
Jeremy gave Nikki an update of where we are and when our app should be done
Asked Nikki for basic descriptions of each event, and what each food truck wants included on the application
