Looking Forwards
Looking ahead, what’s going on?
With the End of Year Program just over a month away, we have plenty of time to polish off the app by adding a few key features and bug testing, as well as finalising our lesson scripts and presentation. A few of the key features we as a group would like to implement are custom badges and an achievement-based system (fuelling competitiveness and getting people even more involved in the app), a more nuanced user interface which makes buying and selling more streamlined, and a profile menu so people can see what other people have invested in.
It’s quite easy to see that we have all become quite attached to this project, and don’t plan on letting it up after this year is over. Our plan is to continue working on the app and getting it to more people, perhaps through the use of social media or other ways. Regardless, we really believe in this app, and think it has the potential to go far beyond our school community.
I’m really excited to begin more proficient in Flutter (my personal coding knowledge doesn’t extend much past basic HTML) and helping Garv develop the app, so that we can all keep working on this in coming months and maybe years. We already have a great foundation to make this app really special – a great user interface and seamless API integration, but the app could still use some refining and polishing, specifically in migrating most of the data to firebase so we can live-update and alleviate some of the performance issues.
