When I started teaming up for the assignment, I thought that we have a good team. However, I'm not very satisfied with how we are doing this assignment right now: Development seems to be a bit slow. If I have to make a guess, there are a few reasons why.
The first one is how late we finalized our idea. Somehow, we couldn't seem to get a good idea to work with for this assignment. Either the idea is not cool, or we can't think of how are we going to fulfill all the aspirations using that idea. This late idea generation means that we have one or two days less to code.
Our overall lack of experience means that we need to spend more time learning new stuffs to code our app. We had some hiccups both on the front end (Ember.js) and the backend (Django).
Despite all these problems, I am confident that we can have a working first iteration by the deadline of the mid-assignment: Tuesday.
These hiccups are expected I guess; it's probably the first time you've had to work in a team of this nature, on a project that is so open ended. No specifications on what to do (beyond the aspirations), no pointers on what frameworks to use, development on front end and back end at the same time, etc.
