spend more time narrowing down target user, instead of focusing on features to offer
Key Benefits
Our first main key benefit was the total overhaul of the design compared to our old week 7-8 design. While that design had some benefits, with help from our tutor we managed to refine our ideas and move from an application which did a lot of multiple things decently to a much better application that did one thing very well - all done within only 2 weeks.
Another benefit we found is the singe-page design of the website. Compared to other designs we’ve seen, a single-page design like the one we have reduced the load time of loading multiple websites and making the user experience much faster and smoother for the user to use.
The website’s map’s ability to highlight certain information also makes it easier for users to gather and display information in a quick and efficient manner compared to other websites, and since it’s all accessible on one page, switching between different maps is quick and easy. The fact that each of the areas on the map can be interacted to display as more information, as well as the graphs, makes our website a potent source of information at any given time.
Responsibilities of Each Member
· Mashira was our main coder for the project, making up most of the backend work, which included the API connections and parsing data from the API to something that the frontend can use (usually involving converting it from JSON)
· Lin was one of the designers of the application, setting up and creating the front-end prototype of the website, as well as cleaning up and advising features that might have been either good or possibly unneeded. He also was the one who did the clean-up and Q&A of the program and the report.
· Avijit(?) was the one who worked on the API the most and created a new dataset and algorithm which allowed us to display all the information on the map.
