  1. 2

    Yesterday: Finally decided on the app tech stack that I'm going to start out with for the MVP. Python for data-related scripts, Python/Flask for the REST APIs, React for front-end, and MySQL/Cassandra for databases. Fortunately the only piece I'm unfamiliar with is Flask.

    Today: Figure out how to connect a simple React form to my back-end via Flask.

    • Focused on refactoring legacy code

      Nice design, did you do that yourself or did you hire someone?

        Brooklet was designed by me. The landing page came from https://bootstrapthemes.co

          Looks good - the biggest issue for me as an indie dev is doing any graphics/design work.

            Feel free to PM me if you want some design feedback ever.

    What will you accomplish by end of November?
    30% testing coverage for our app

    What did you do yesterday to work toward your goal?
    Worked on refactoring current React tests to hit our connected redux components.

    What will you do today?
    Will work on clarifying and documenting best practices for testing redux connected components. Will start tests on our registration components.

      Whew, adding coverage after the fact is always a fun time. If you need help, feel free to reach out. We don't know Redux/React that well, but we know high-level concepts for coverage in terms of: what is the highest priority items to test and leave it at that
