Week 8: Prep for Part B

Our team met this week to discuss the division of tasks ahead of Part B being due next week.  Part of my task list was having a look at the header again and styling.  We decided as a group not to pursue web components at this time.  There are some cross-browser issues and ultimately it came down to time available vs core functionality we need to do first.  Web components hasn't been ruled out, just put in the 'nice to have' basket.

Part of the feedback we got from the paper prototype we tested last week was to make all our header/nav the same across all pages.  While updating the header (and taking it out of its own HTML import), I had a look at the bootstrap framework we were using  the material design theme.  I decided to ditch the theme in an effort to make the design more our own and instead build on vanilla Bootstrap.

I had a look into the newly released Bootstrap 4 and thought this would be a good option, but it is only available as source files (not pre-compiled code), which means setting up SASS for our project.

Today in our workshop I went through how to set-up SASS with my team and how to edit and compile.  In my next post I will document the how-tos for our team to refer back to if necessary.

I also wrote a set of success criteria for our Part B report based on the interactions we want our users to have with our web app.  We will discuss these as a group next week.
