Review Completed Backend Features and Discuss Next Steps for Our Project #5

Closed leah1leah1 closed 3 months ago

leah1leah1 commented 3 months ago

Hello everyone,

Hooray!!! We have successfully implemented the core backend functionalities using Flask, which includes:

  1. User Accounts - Signup, login, logout, user info, and avatars.
  2. User Interactions - Users can now create posts and comments on them.
  3. Search Functionality - Keyword-based searching within post titles and content.

Please take some time to review the current code and test whether each functionality works as expected. Let me know if everything works fine or if you have suggestions for improvements or new features. Thanks!

Next Steps for Discussion: Here are a couple of things I think we should work on next:

  1. Refining Our Templates and CSS - Our HTML has changed a lot because of the use of Jinja templates, and our CSS needs reorganization. We can also try using some Bootstrap to make things look better and more responsive.
  2. Adding More JavaScript/AJAX/jQuery - Currently, there's still room for our use of JavaScript, AJAX, and jQuery. Let's see where we could use AJAX or jQuery to improve how things work on the frontend, making the interface more dynamic and interactive.
  3. Enhance our Data Model and testing - Let’s discuss how we can achieve excellence in each:
    • Data Model: Well considered database schema, good authentication, and maintainable models. Some evidence of DB migrations.
    • Testing: Comprehensive unit tests, with large test database, and user tests with good coverage.

Let's discuss these points and any other suggestions you might have. Looking forward to our collaborative efforts to improve and expand our project!

Xiaoyi, that's awesome! The code is running so smoothly and there are no bugs at all. I'm ready to move on to the next step, and it looks like our app will be finalized soon!
