Final Milestone Scenario - bounswe/bounswe2024group1 GitHub Wiki

1. Account Creation

Alex Johnson, an intermediate Lisp programmer passionate about functional programming, discovers the Programming Languages Forum app.
They create an account using their email.

2. Exploring Tags

After logging in, Alex navigates to the "Tags" section.
They find the Functional Programming immediately, as the tags are sorted according to the number of questions and Functional Programming is among the most popular, with numerous questions.
Intrigued, Alex clicks on the Functional Programming tag to explore.

3. Discovering a New Lisp Functionality

While browsing, Alex sees a question titled, "How do circular data structures work in Lisp?"
Curious, they click the question to learn more.
The detailed explanation reveals a Lisp technique involving circular data structures that Alex hadn’t encountered before.
Excited, Alex marks the question as Easy and upvotes both the question and the well-written answer.

4. Exploring Other Tags

Wanting to learn more, Alex visits the profile of the user who answered the question by clicking into their name, Jordan Carter.
On Jordan's profile, Alex sees the tags they follow, including Haskell.
Intrigued by Haskell, Alex clicks the Haskell tag to explore further.

5. Formulating a New Question

While browsing Haskell content, Alex wonders, "Does Haskell support circular data structures?"
Unable to find an existing question that addresses this, Alex decides to create one:
- Navigates to the Create Question page.
- Reads the popover instructions for writing effective questions.
- Mentions the tag @haskell in the question body for clarity.
- Tags the question with Functional Programming and Circular Data Structures.
- Sets the difficulty level to Beginner to attract insights from advanced users.

1. Logging In and Filtering

Riley Parker, an advanced Haskell programmer, logs into the Programming Languages Forum app on their mobile device.
Riley navigates to the Haskell tag and filters for Beginner questions.

2. Discovering Alex’s Question

Riley finds Alex’s newly posted question, "Does Haskell support circular data structures?"
They find the question interesting and bookmark it for reference.
Riley checks Alex’s profile and notes their reputation points and previous contributions.

3. Writing an Answer

Riley writes a detailed response explaining how circular data structures works in Haskell.
- Before posting, Riley reads the popover with tips for writing effective answers.
After posting, Riley revisits the Bookmarks section and confirms the question is saved there.

1. Receiving the Answer

2. Creating a Tag

Inspired, Alex tries to create a tag for Circular Data Structures in Functional Programming, a concept central to their question.
Initially, they can’t create the tag due to insufficient reputation points.
As their question garners upvotes from other users, Alex’s reputation increases, enabling tag creation.

3. Exploring the New Tag

Alex creates the Circular Data Structures in Functional Programming tag and navigates to its dedicated page.
On the page, Alex explores the glossary and reads about the user-defined tags.

This scenario demonstrates the Programming Languages Forum app’s ability to foster a collaborative environment:

Alex Johnson deepens their knowledge of Lisp and Haskell, contributes to the community, and creates a valuable tag.
Riley Parker shares expertise in Haskell, supporting beginners while leveraging the mobile app’s features.
The interaction between web and mobile platforms provides a seamless experience, showcasing the app’s design for diverse use cases.
