How's it Growing? - Team 14

Inspiration

We wanted to create a space where people who currently are involved in the Growing-Gardens community could build trusting relationships with each other. By sharing their involvement through posts, photos, comments, and recipes, we hope that they would be enticed to participate in discussions with others who share common interests and needs. They would be able to reach out and simply ask - Hows it growing?

What it does

Current functionality: It allows members of the community to sign in, select which language they would prefer to view the app in, view posts on the community page, create a new post, add tags to that post, and submit to the community page.

How we built it

We started with the Kickstarter-js-kit and divided the work among different pages using javascript with React. Throughout the day we integrated each page together, merging often and working incrementally.

Challenges we ran into

Some lack of knowledge of React made for a knowledge gap
Merge issues with the number of commits happening
Issues running sample project so we had trouble getting started

Accomplishments that we're proud of

When creating a post on the community page, we added interactive tags that you can create as well as drag and drop them to change the order.

What we learned

Understanding the scope of a hackathon
Learning the importance of talking over the whole group's objectives to pave a path. We learned how to group movement toward one objective instead of working on conflicting ideas.
Getting React components to interact with each other.
Some of us had never used Yarn so it was a good learning experience

What's next for How's it Growing?

-Build out a filtering system based on tags with icons for usability purposes. -Members would be able to comment on posts to communicate with each other and read through comments on other posts. -Facilitators of correctional facilities would have access to the app and can post on inmates behalf. -Recipe creator based on ingredients that you have. -A calendar page for updates on best growing periods. -Fully translated App

I worked on the front end spinning up the community page, learning lots about React. I also helped guide the team to a successful delivery time and create organization around the project.

-The sign-in form, which validates the fields.

Oliver Fu
I worked on the SubmitForm component using ReactJS as well as a Header component that was ultimately removed. I'm very proud of my team and how we worked together.

Robyn Navarro
I helped with our design and operations/process. I also helped with Github merges. We were originally going to add a couple more features that Amy and I were going to work on but after doing some research we realized it would be too much work so we started to help everyone else in their work.

jasemj
I worked on converting some static content into react components and came really close to adding a feature to search a recipes API

Amy Langill
I worked on the submit form, specifically with the tagging component. I also helped with the layout and design of the overall app.
