Priority: 1

• Impact: his feature has high impact, as being able to schedule posts can greatly increase the flexibility instructors have on this forum.
• Effort: this issue would require high effort because 1) similar implementations aren't present already in the app, and 2) new information must be added to the backend, as well as new designs to the UI

Estimated effort: High effort required

Dependencies among tasks (if any): Not dependent on other tasks we have chosen to work on

Initial assignments for team members:

• Eric & Crystal: research on how to implement and identify files that will need to be changed, modified, or added for this functionality.

Milestones to indicate which sprint the issue should be completed in (Sprint 1, Sprint 2, Stretch):

• Due to the difficulty of the issue, we are hoping the issue could be completed in totality during the Stretch.
• Some details of what needs to be done in Sprint 1: Improvements to back-end
• Some details of what needs to be done in Sprint 2: Fixing up user interface so that most parts are done externally

Acceptance criteria that describes how you know this task is done - think about how you will test this feature:

• Test for frontend to see if the student's name is shown as anonymous after posting.
• Test if the user is able to select an anonymous option when creatnig post.
• Test if the post is anonymous for all users in the channel (even for newly joined users).
