• What you’ve worked on in the previous two weeks

Since we were too much ahead of schedule, we did not implement new features in the previous two weeks. Instead, we focused on code quality, performance and extensibility for future features. For code quality, we eliminated repeated code / logic by using abstract / reusable logic where appropriate. For performance, we detected performance bottlenecks in React Dev Tools and Chrome Dev Tools and reduced unnecessary re-renders. For extensibility, we made our redux store more flexible so that future features can be easily integrated into our redux store.

On the back end, we also improved our testing process (now 100% coverage, fully automated CI / CD pipeline).

• What you’ll be working on in the next two weeks

We will start working on the reader UI, where people can read blogs and post comments.

• Where you might have gotten stuck during the last two weeks

It was challenging to diagnose performance problems because right now our app does not have a lot of data and everything seems to be working smoothly. We had to ask ourselves questions like "what would happen if there were more users and data".

• What you’ve worked on in the previous two weeks Worked on adding the backend feature of filtering article list
• What you’ll be working on in the next two weeks Continue working on queryArticleList and write relevant tests
• Where you might have gotten stuck during the last two weeks Not sure if our code still work stable under different tricky queries. I think we will add more edge tests in the next three weeks.

• What you have worked on in the previous two weeks

Since we have almost finished the front end part for the bloggy publisher, I mainly focused on improving the rendering efficiency of it.

• What you will be working on in the next two weeks

For the next two weeks, I will start to work on the front end for the bloggy reader.

• Where you might have gotten stuck during the last two weeks

The flow of redux took time to understand especially when you need to connect your back end API to your front end. I will definitely take more time to absorb this technology.

• What you've worked on in the previous two weeks I read lot of documents about MongDB, Mongoose & RESTful api, set up the database environment for our backend and test our URI endpoint using AdvancedRestClient
• What you will be working on in the next tow weeks I will start working on the front end for the bloody reader as well.
• Where you have might have gotten stuck during the last two weeks Setting the database environment using dotenv took me a lot of time to work on and I got stuck on refactoring the redux part both in my assignment and project.
