CHALLENGE
Our team decided to build a website/app that encourages people to take part in local fitness activites. We are using the open Match The City dataset to drive our project.
RESULTS
We broke into three sub-groups to design the user interface, build the front-end, and write the code to drive the backend.
Design
Our new UI was taking steps forward in appearance and ease of use. Version 1 of our new accessible UI, designed by Stuart.
Stuart is making big improvements to the interface and the final version may look quite different.
Front-end
Our initial front-end was built by Angela and Stephen and provides a rough idea of the path the user will take.
This interface needs to be integrated into the back-end to build the prototype, and will be replaced with a working version of Stuart's UI.
Back-end
The back-end was built by Ian Isted and Billy Fagan, and pulls large datasets from Match The City based on effort rating.
The back-end needs to be integrated into the front-end, and will need some re-writing due it being quickly thrown together. We also need to filter the data by activity type.

Reports
Our first round of questions identified things for us to consider, or might be important to users of the system.
- Get older people active in new ways
- Make site easy for older people
- Popularity/amount of people going bar
- People with depression (getting depressed people on walks and what not) walk database.
- Wildlife? Parent and child experience
- School experience?
- Budget issues are important
- Dog poo is a huge issue apparently.
