Sprint 5 (Oct 13 - Oct 19): The Grind

Hey everyone! This was a very productive week, with everyone working hard to reach our set goals for the week. Here's the update:

🚀 What We Accomplished:

- Logo Locked In:

We finally picked a logo that truly reflects our app’s purpose and feel. It’s official, and we’re pretty excited to show it off.

- Style Guide & Hi-Fi Wireframes:

Our style guide is finalized, and we jumped right into hi-fi wireframes, skipping lo-fi entirely! The majority of screens are done, and they’re looking sleek.

- UI & Functionalities Testing:

We’re testing ChakraUI as our primary framework and experimenting with other features, including live transcription, to bring our app’s vision to life.

- Commercial Storyboards:

The script is ready, and scenes are coming to life in 3D. The commercial is beginning to take shape, and it’s looking promising.

🤝 Team Growth:

After last week’s hurdles, our team has come together in a big way. With each member rallying behind our goals, collaboration has reached a new high—everyone’s ready to step in and support where needed. Holden’s leadership has kept us organized, and individual strengths are shining through as everyone tackles tasks aligned with their skills. We’re communicating better, giving constructive feedback, and keeping morale high, which is making the entire process smoother and more enjoyable. This strengthened teamwork is fueling our momentum, and we’re more motivated than ever to see this project come to life.

🔜 Next Steps:

- Refine our hi-fi pages, focusing on consistency and design polish

- Code and test functionalities

- Iterate on design where needed

- Start designing non-MVP features for a well-rounded app

It’s been a productive week as we gear up for the next stage, and we finally get to start coding out our frontend! Stay tuned as we keep pushing forward, and keep an eye out for any extra blog posts!
