• Web App
• Web API

Motivation

We have the issue of not knowing what food we can make with the ingredients on hand most nights a week. This app will help us alleviate some of our pain by searching for and displaying a diversity of food to make.

Risks

• Most of us don’t know each other
• Different schedules so team meetings are difficult
• Most of us don’t know Java or SQL
• Never built a phone app
• Most have never worked on project this large

Mitigation strategies

• Get to know each other better (try for more in person meetings)
• Specialization of languages
  • Two sub-groups
    • One for backend (python, SQL)
    • One for frontend (Java)
• Do research on how android app architecture works
• Learn (at least basics of) relevant languages before starting
• Keep good contact using slack.
