Development History

Showcase of our development on this project over time. We will have project pages that contain the issues that are to be worked on during the respective milestone.

Milestone 1

In milestone 1 we primarily focused on creating the landing page and making mockups of several other pages. Providing some groundwork for us to develop this project efficiently. As well as having this site fully updated and ready for documentation on then next milestone.

Milestone 2

In milestone 2 we focused on the more important and complex components of our project. We added the ability to edit your user profile, list vendors, and add vendors. Additionally, there is now a vendor home page and admin panel where these roles can manage relevant data.

Milestone 3

In milestone 3 we will aim to finish up the last few pages, mainly the foods available right now and today’s top picks page. As well as correctly enabling vendors to access the page and update their relevant information. We will also create a user preferences database collection so that users can filter vendors and menu items. When these functionalities are done, we will improve the UI and styling of the webpage, and integrate twitter and google maps.
