Challenges

One of the challenges that we encoutered during the development process was incorporating new technologies that were unfamilair to us within the frameworks of knowledge that we contained. For example, we were using a technology that was new to us called Cypress which helped to easily test the end to end aspects of a web page. We knew what we wanted to test, but being unfamiliar with the tech made it more challenging to get to the elements that we wanted to see.

Another challenge that we faced in this project was figuring out how to organize the data within our app to account for inheritence in JS/React projects. This was especially evident when working through the CSS styling. With hard work and perserverance we were able to get things (at least mostly) properly laid out to match our design goals.

Wins

A win was being able to progress through the project with mostly async work. The extra communication that is required to make sure that process works and works well while allowing the project to continue was an additional step of difficulty that we handled well.

Another win was being able to surpass the styling and design requirements of the project by including heaps of reactive design in our UI/UX CSS.
