- User authentication
- Guest users are able to see live chat and logged in users are able to send messages to the live chat
- Display weather within the map
- Display free events within the map
This application will be built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js), AWS, and socket.io:
- Backend: MongoDB/Express
- User authentication to log users in for contributing to the live chat
- Model for indexing of live chat feed
- Frontend: React/Redux
- React/Redux will be used to change the route information when users type in a different budget.
- Socket.io
- Websockets will be used to implement a real-time, multi-user chat service
Over the weekend, out team spent most of the time learning the new technologies we are going to implement. Here is a list of all the activities we took during the weekend:
- Watching tutorials and going over some readings on MERN Stack
- Researched API and figured out the available data we will have
- Discussing the whole project in details
- Finishing the User Auth
- Complete the project proposal
-
Phase 1 : Learn Technologies (Sat-Sun)
- By the end of Phase 1, we will have * Understanding of MERN * Completed proposal
- Phase 2: User Auth (Sun-Mon ): Jing and Urosh
- By the end of Phase 2 , we will have
- Functionality for users to enter budget to search for all available routes
- Markers on public attractions within distance of a bart station
- Highlight routes within the map that displays which station can the user end up in with their travel money
- By the end of Phase 2 , we will have
