Deciding on a stack

[jedace]

We are all doing research on what languages we want to use for our frontend, backend, database, and relations between them all. Need to share our findings and come to a conclusion on what our final stack will look like

Currently working towards what Database options would best fit out project because this will be an item we want to incorporate earlier for testing (11:22am).

Deciding what we would like to use for backend development. Top contenders are looking like Python and Node.js but leaning towards Node as the ecosystem may be more beneficial when deciding on the other areas

Node.js vs Python Integrating Python with Node.js

Firebase (Google) and SQL (Windows) look to be our best options for price (free) and the applications we believe we will need (11:43am).

Narrowing in on using the JS framework, lots of integration ability and ease of use

Reviewing how charts are integrated into JavaScript frameworks. There are many options for different frameworks. I also reviewed how to plot data specifically in Google Firebase if we decide to stick with that as our database.

[Daniel-Haley]

Found that pretty much every data visualization JavaScript library that I looked at works with React and many of them work with Vue.js. I was also looking up how to connect Firebase to a JavaScript framework project.

Reviewing previous capstone projects and seeing how html was used in the websites. Also, a possible web framework if we wanted to go a Python route is Django.

[ClaytonNolen]

Jed and I have decided that Firebase is a great option and works with Javascript (Clayton) and that Javascript will be one of our primary languages (Jed).

[Daniel-Haley]

Researching Svelte as our JavaScript framework. Svelte has a framework called Sveltekit that helps create more complete web applications. Link: https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/introduction

[Daniel-Haley]

Concluded that Svelte will be the JavaScript framework that we will be using after comparing to React.
