Overview

This video captures a group meeting discussing their progress and plans for Hackathon 2. The team confirms presentation requirements, discusses mark allocations, and brainstorms a new feature to implement: a bookmarking functionality for posts. They also coordinate tasks, deadlines, and responsibilities for developing the feature, integrating it with existing code, and preparing for the final presentation and demonstration.

Key takeaways

• Hackathon 2 Presentation: The team has a 3-minute presentation on Monday, which will involve a one-minute recorded video of their implemented feature and a live demonstration. A template for the presentation will be provided by Dylan.
• Mark Allocation: The presentation is worth 1.5% of the total marks, with the final deliverable demonstration, new feature implementation, and app design showcase each worth 5%. The marking is group-based, meaning all members receive the same score.
• New Feature - Bookmarking: The proposed feature is a bookmarking system for posts, allowing users to save posts and access them later. This will involve creating a new data access object (DAO) for saved posts and adapting the post adapter from a previous lab.
• Technical Implementation: The feature will likely use a tree data structure and inheritance, similar to previous projects. Persistence of saved posts is considered a stretch goal if time permits.
• Codebase and Environment: The team will work within the existing repository from Hackathon 1, but the Hackathon 1 tasks do not need to be fully functional for this project. They plan to use Android Studio and potentially leverage "cloud code" to assist with code completion and bug fixing.
• Collaboration and Deadlines: The team schedules two work sessions for Thursday (morning and evening) to collaborate and merge code. The final submission is due Thursday at 11:59 PM. Responsibilities are assigned for UI design, backend implementation, code cleanup, and presentation preparation.

Here are the action items for the group:

• UI Design: One member will create the UI design in Figma tonight and attempt to convert it to XML. Screenshots of app appearances should be shared.
• Backend Implementation (Persistence): Another member will take the lead on the backend code for persistent data, and another will review it.
• Hackathon 1 Cleanup: Two members will work on cleaning up the Hackathon 1 code, creating a changelog of modifications, and using Git diligently.
• Android App UI Development: One member will work on the XML and Android Studio development based on the provided Figma designs and merge the codes. They will also put their Lab 7 code into the repository.
• Presentation and Demo Video: One member will work on the presentation content and create the demo video.
• Meeting Coordination: A member will export meeting times and send an action item list to the team's chat.
• Code Merging: The team will meet on Thursday to merge all the codes.
• Feature Implementation: The main feature to implement is bookmarking, with persistence as a stretch goal.
• Check with Dylan: One member will check with Dylan regarding the presentation template and any requirements related to Hackathon 1.
