iOS

Not too much to report this week.  Very sick mixed with spring break.  However progress is being made nonetheless by my team.  MeNext will look better than ever after the semester is out! :)

A Real Blog?

As MeNext progresses into a new era of user experience, it's only natural that our blog follows. Before the semester ends, we will have a much more suitable WordPress blog up, designed to fit the UI changes as well as possible.

As for the UI itself, the home page is the main focus and then additional changes will follow. A unique color palette needs to be chosen and implemented throughout the site, and then again through the mobile apps, so it's important that decisions are made carefully before implementation.

Thank you for checking in on MeNext, expect some really cool changes, announcements, and surprises in the near future!

iOS

iOS is chugging along, doing a huge refactor and getting things going without a storyboard.  Most of the hard work is done and most of what is left is a lot easier.  I'm redesigning login at the same time and after that, I'll be adding local database support to improve offline and low-service functionality.

Hopefully I can finish login this break.

This whole group has been doing fantastic.  Expect to see great changes to Web this break as well.

Exciting semester so far!

Android App

I am taking over the android app after josh got it up and running. I have been changing the GUI to better fit google's material design outlines to give the app a more professional look and intuitive user experience. I also just added the functionality for creating a party on the app itself, which is helping us move away from needing to use the website.

UI progress

This week I finished up making a UI, resolved some problems I was having with page navigation and started working on using the Youtube data API.
