Our collaboration went very well on this project. Through pair coding and effective weekend meetings, we were able to reach MVP by Tuesday of project week. Coming away from this project, we will take away how to code as a team rather than an individual. It was incredibly helpful to bounce ideas and concepts off of one another. More so, it was very effective to divide and conquer for this project, with each of us talking a piece of the project to specialize in and fine tune. Going forward, we will be much better equipped to work with each other or others again.

In our future projects, we will want to continue with our strategy of close-knit pair coding until MVP is reached, that way all members of the group have a complete picture of the foundation which they can build other features off of. Furthermore, having a clear and detailed planning doc as our roadmap was invaluable. This helped us know where to start, and subsequent steps to take afterwards. With this, we always had a clear goal in mind for each day of work and successfully achieved them.

One issue we had was merging Git branches into our main branch. Many of these Git branches were behind in some commits while being very far ahead in others, creating multiple merge conflicts as they came together with the main branch. This made for pretty hefty merge conflict resolution time, and updating CSS styling to bring all pages in line with what had already been established. This is growing pain while learning Git, and something our team hopes to improve upon down the road. In the meantime, until our next project, we will continue to experiment with and explore Git branches, hopefully mastering by our next endeavor.

JTE Collective (Joe, Trey & Ethan) Heroku deployment: https://jte-collective-a4dbe6e33fa8.herokuapp.com/ PROJECT PASSED Instructional Glow: README, styling, app is easy to navigate, code is organized, great work on show.ejs! Font size is great for mobile. Instructional Grow: Build upon current styling, different colors, accessibility, make it so that footer doesn’t block buttons. Team members with fewer commits drive first moving forward. Limiting search results. Perhaps 2-column layout for tablet view.
