Art Viewer app dev notes and log

[rpodcast]

Progress is being made on the prototype app on viewing specific art pieces. Assorted ideas and dev log:

• The user is presented with an art piece and chooses whether they like or dislike the piece. After making their choice, a new piece appears and reactive values are used to keep track of their likes, dislikes, and the images that have been shown so far
• We want the user to have their choices stored for future sessions, and that's where we can store their choices in a database
• Need to figure out how to create a unique login ID for them, so when they visit the app again it will automatically grab their existing entries from the database
• It would be cool to keep a log of how long someone viewed a piece of art before making their choice. Again this info should be sent to the database so we can perform analysis later

Styling the app for the design topics:

• Heading font: Abril Fatface . While the name is odd, it seems to be the closest Google font that matches the MET website's font for the MET itself (see https://www.metmuseum.org )
• Body font: TBD

Somehow I stumbled upon this terrific writeup on their branding from the MET team: https://www.metmuseum.org/blogs/now-at-the-met/2016/brand-identity
