1. I worked on the chat feature used for contacting people in the same sport session.
2. I didn't know which technology to use to implement the chat feature. I tried using sendbird but their UI and the way they defined channels and lack of documentation led me to use a react chat UI library and create the realtime messaging feature myself.
3. UI work and creating a forum page

1. I revamped our redux setup to make it a bit cleaner, set up Mongo and connected it to all of our existing functionality, I created a session recommendation algorithm and set it up with our featured sessions functionality, and wired the joining functionality so that sessions can actually be joined and left.
2. There were no major issues. Only problem was really that it can be difficult to all be using the same DB with no backup, makes us need to take special care when making changes.
3. I will refine the recommendation algorithm and joining functionality to make joining sessions update more session fields to aid in future recommendations. I also plan on making a cancel session button, introducing the idea of session owners, filling the DB with a lot of actual good data for demonstration purposes, and lastly, figuring out the deployment and hosting of the app.

• I mostly worked on integrating the google maps api into the Join session page

• The major issue I ran into was setting up the payment info on google - it kept rejecting my payment info which blocked me for a few days during sprint.

• I will work on implementing Search and Filter on the dashboard page so that users can search the sessions based on location and games.
