NYAD App Update #17

Since our last update we have worked focused on more skills development.

• Arturo has been working on CSS skills and has began to shift into the role of Development Support
• Jon has been tweaking the design of the app and editing improving fluidity and user interface.
• Emily has shifted from Node to Ionic. This will speed up visible production. 
• Matt is doing more research on agencies and organizing data.
• The App is officially named NYAD.

NYAD App Update

JON: Jon had worked on a design sketch for the app itself this week instead of a practice design.  This week, he will be working on adapting the prototype design that developed as a result of Emily's work over the weekend. Specifically, the look of the Listings page filters as well as the display of locations on the single Agency pages.

ARTURO and MATT: Both will be working on the presentation for Wednesday, as well as adding some agencies to the spreadsheet we have been keeping.

EMILY: Worked on developing the project as a web application. The following is a "todo" list for more functionality:

• Automate the "categories" and "locations" radio buttons
• Finding relevant APIs (such as a maps service for finding relative distance from a location)

Eventually, the following have been planned out:

• Service Worker integration for saving previous searches
• A mySQL server for handling the database content
• A PHP frontend for the mySQL server
• Developing the app using Ionic framework

App Update:

Christopher Glenn
Kadeem Sweeney

Currently:
We have created a layout of our app using: Proto.io

• Every time we think we have a idea we change it because we feel different about the look.         I think we need to go back the drawing board and make things clear for what our app is all about and  how to attract the average user. 

• We are starting to work on some of the functionalities of the app on proto.io but soon we will need  to leave this application aside to go more in depth of what we really want in the app we are creating. 

• Any good references from anyone? Open for suggestions...

 Our Next Goal:
After finalizing the look and getting the maximum functionality ability we get from proto.io we will move to a more advanced application to get into the nitty gritty of our Hat Design Application.

• Work on the actually name of the app
• Start connecting with some hat designers in our area and if we can outside of our area
• Get opinions about our design from other and what can make it better
• Think of more things to improve in all aspects

Color Picker Aid

15 vibrant online tools that make color simple

15 tools to help you find a color scheme for your mobile app or website.

Material Palette will find the accent colors after two primary colors are chosen. This will give you a basic color palette to explore. Additionally, once the color palette is chosen, when you click on the color, the hex code will then be copied directly to you keyboard for use. I'm hoping to use this tool in particular to find fun color schemes for gaming apps.
