MIDPROJECT REVIEW

[blendaf]

What has to be done before Friday

• [x] Deploy the app
• [x] Write a nice readme detailing:
  • [x] Short description of the project
  • [x] What you have done
  • [x] What you still plan to do
  • [x] Your project file structure
  • [x] Short description/purpose of each file
  • [x] (Nice to have) A screenshot of the page
• [x] A link to the deployed/running app
• [x] A link to your git repository

What has to be done after Friday (before Tuesday)

• [x] Peer review which includes

  • Review the running app:
  • Focus on layout and interaction, apply HCI evaluation methodology (e.g. Nielsen's heuristics, Shneiderman's golden rules, etc.) that you learned in a basic Human-Computer Interaction course
  • Use the grading criteria matrix and try to find points where the project might not reach a good grade.
  • Reviewing the code on GitHub (you don't need to download or run it):
  • Is the architecture following the principles you learned through the course and/or the guidlines of the framework the group is using?
  • Is the code DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself)? If there is code duplication (similar segments of code repeated in several places), they should have been extracted in a loop, method or module that can be reused.
  • Naming convention: Are the files, methods and variables named in meaningful way (reflecting their purpose)? Is the same pattern used consistently throughout the code?
  • Code formatting: is the code properly indented and formatted for good
  • Write your peer review in English.
  • Be respectful and polite towards the group.
  • Provide suggestions for improvements, instead of just pointing out flaws.

Short description of the project speak.exchange is an online bilingual dictionary, which offers the sub-app speak.repeat, which is a spaced-repetition system (SRS) app geared towards learning new words in a foreign language through flashcards.

What we have done We have so far implemented most of the MVP of speak.exchange in that it currently fetches translations in English to French from the WordReference API, presenting them to the user. These searches can be shared thanks to persistent URLs.

What we still plan to do We will implement a search history and saved wordlist based on user profiling. We are also yet to implement user authentication, user profiles, and the SRS app within speak.repeat. We intend to complete most functionality of speak.exchange before the peer review, and to complete speak.repeat post-peer review.
