Successes:

  • Testing API with Postman went smoothly.
  • Expo was smooth to use- troubleshooting was simple and straightforward.
  • App runs smoothly on web and mobile. It does the thing it's designed to do, well.
  • Aesthetic was initially inspired by Frutiger artstyles- from there we toned down the color for ease on the eyes.

Difficulties:

  • Poor merging practices in GitHub.
  • Sometimes when attempting to merge in local files from GitHub the files get replaced instead of merging or showing merge conflicts.
  • Digital Ocean blocked outbound SMPT.
  • Had to switch to Resend's HTTP API.
  • Agreeing on Figma prototypes was more difficult than we anticipated.
  • Making front-end twice- React Native and Flutter variants- was a hard undertaking.
  • We had a few disagreements, but ultimately landed on what we wanted Noteriety to look like over several iterations along the way.
