Day 1 & Day 2: Brainstorming

Today something Awesome happened! Scott, Chris and I jokingly came up with an app idea. It all started when I said I won't be in class on Friday. We went down the list and found out that Chris Green might be the only one in class that day. It was therefore feared that he might scrapped everything, come up with a different app idea, jokingly name ChrisGreenIsAwesome.java and claim that it was unanimously agreed that was the app we were going to develop. Jokingly we started story boarding .<to be continued> (-Nelly)

<continued> Our initial storyboard consisted of four images, each of which demonstrated a key technical feature of a tablet employed by the app; this included a GPS tracker (to find me for high-fives) and multi-touch detection (for virtual hugs), and we discussed even including a hygrometer (I might be sweaty). People everywhere would know where to find me for a high-five. It was all good fun, laughs were had, and we already had ideas for the glowing reviews. Of course, it was all a joke.

That is, until Dr. Stonedahl took a look and...well, quite shockingly, appeared to appreciate the idea.

Thus began our serious plans for our "Awesome" app. Understandably, my name has been dropped from the working title in favor of a more general "YouAreAwesome" or something to that effect. Though we have had to revamp many of our ideas and rethink some features, this app could become something grand. Preliminary work on the app will likely be work on random text generation outside of Android Studio.

High-fives all around! (-Chris)
