  • Ideation:

The current problem many people experience is finding a suitable time slot and place to meet with project mates, friends or colleagues. This has become a hassle since different people have different daily schedules and speaking from experience, we have seen many resort to manually asking teammates for their schedule one by one and then consolidating a free time to meet. Such a manual process is laborious and tiring. Hence, we propose the idea of a webapp titled “Friendezvous”.

Friendezvous will target a vast group of people who are often involved in meetings. Our primary focus will be students, teachers, office-goers and the youth and their friend circles.

Team members can simply select their available time slots and place they will be at and the webapp will compute the best time and location for the entire team to meet.

Our plan for the 3 evaluation milestones are as follows:

  • Milestone 1 (Project Ideation): 

  • Have a clear and defined scope of the project and have a basic template for the webapp. A simple login system will be inplace and the necessary pages, such as homepages, contact-us, about, sign-up, login pages will be completed.  

  • Milestone 2 (Minimum Viable Project):

    • Have a fully-functional algorithm that runs smoothly on user-input schedules to output the best time to meet. Core features such as allowing users to create meetings, add friends, see and confirm meetings has already been implemented in their dashboard. 

  • Milestone 3 (Extensions):

    • Complete the webapp and integrate Open ID login for Facebook. Add functionality for users to collaborate. (DONE)
    • _Touch up on UI (aim for ease of use) _(DONE)
    • _Include location-based maps for meetings. _(DONE)
    • _Host on herokuapp, implement clearDB and sendgrid for mySQL and php mail(). _(DONE)
    • We have included our project architecture here: ** http://imgur.com/0PwJYno** (as advised by project supervisor Tee Ming)
    • We have updated our targeted level of achievement to Apollo. The following are the justifications:
      • We have completed the objectives of Project Gemini.
      • There was active participation on Slack (to the best of our ability) to answer queries from fellow peers in Orbital.
      • There was active participation in Mission Controls (attended 6 out of 10 mission controls)
      • We have conducted surveys to find out the general public opinion on a web app that aims to organize meetings. We built upon the feedback received in this iteration by aiming for a easy-to-use UI.
