The first group project was during the front end portion of the apprenticeship. After being interviewed by the code coaches to assess our current confidence and abilities, our groups were chosen. I joined a break out room in Zoom with Andres, Velvet, and Joshua to get better acquainted. Our project manager was the code coach Andrew.
Our assignment was to create a front end app with CRUD functionality, and include a free or cheap API if time permitted. We decided to begin the brainstorming session by looking up lists of API's to get ideas.
Some of our ideas included a financial app, weather app, and movie app. We eventually decided on an app to keep track of all your subscriptions.
Velvet typed up an amazing MVP worksheet which helped clarify many issues. It included user stories and break down of functionality.
We brainstormed again to come up with a name, slogan, color scheme, and logo. We used Google search and similar apps for ideas. I also used a slogan generator and Looka.com for logo ideas. We used Figma to put all our ideas together and shared to make decisions.
