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:
    • Create final report LaTeX document.
    • Add skeleton of PDD to Git repository.
    • Make decision on React vs React Native.
