|
- Started diary file.
|
|
- Created Git repository.
|
|
- Added diary, PDD, & final report to Git repository.
|
|
|
|
### Meeting with Supervisor
|
|
- Discussed research ethics, supervisor sent the following documents from the research ethics committee:
|
|
- Plain language statement.
|
|
- Consent form.
|
|
- Discussed project definition document:
|
|
- Decided on LaTeX document.
|
|
- Decided to work on initial draft and then get review from supervisor.
|
|
- Discussed final report:
|
|
- Decided on LaTeX document.
|
|
- Decided to start working on immediately, adding to it as progress is made.
|
|
- Focus on including non-trivial progress in report immediately rather than diary.
|
|
- Discussed diary:
|
|
- Although had set up Confluence for this meeting, decided to use a plain Markdown file to simplify the diary, keep all materials in the one Git repository, and focus on including non-trivial progress in the final report rather than the diary.
|
|
- Discussed competitor analysis:
|
|
- Table with rows for each "competitor" product and columns for questions about how they do things.
|
|
- Decided to include this directly in final report when table created rather than put in diary.
|
|
- Decided to focus on primarily developing product as a web app, with a secondary requirement to port it to mobile if possible.
|
|
- Discussed React vs React Native:
|
|
- React Native is more effort and more difficult to develop in: reduced compatibility with vanilla React.
|
|
- Discussed if worth using React Native if focussing on web.
|
|
- For time being, decided to focus on React Native development *for web* while maintaining maximum mobile portability. Not focusing on mobile development but trying not to break anything, and attempting to port at the end of development.
|
|
- TODO: By end of week, make permanent decision on framework & target platform.
|
|
- Since React was originally chosen specifically for React Native, worth considering not using React if only focussing on web development. Other options:
|
|
- Apache Cordova for porting to mobile.
|
|
- Pure HTML & JavaScript for web app.
|
|
- Other frameworks, e.g. Vue.
|
|
- Discussed map & plotting libraries:
|
|
- Leading choice is Mapbox: works with React Native, free up to 50,000 monthly map loads.
|
|
- Action items:
|
|
- [X] Create final report LaTeX document.
|
|
- [X] Add skeleton of PDD to Git repository.
|
|
- [ ] Make decision on React vs React Native.
