Week 8

-

 Student: Prajwal Poudel

Date: July 19, 2025

This week, I continued refining and expanding upon the features implemented during Sprint 4, shifting the focus toward preparing for broader usability testing and final integration. Following feedback from our previous sync, I worked on improving the responsiveness of the role-based UI components, especially for users switching between donor and receiver roles. I added fallback states and refined conditional rendering to ensure a smoother experience.

One of the major areas of development this week was optimizing the history tracking feature. I worked on sorting and filtering mechanisms, allowing users to quickly navigate through previous listings. This was complemented with the addition of pagination and time-range filters to enhance usability when datasets grow larger.

In terms of backend integration, I refined the real-time sync logic using Firestore triggers to better reflect listing status updates (e.g., "Claimed," "Pending Pickup," "Expired"). I also explored more advanced Firestore querying methods to minimize read operations and ensure performance remains scalable.

On the design side, I revised iconography and improved the visual feedback on user actions (e.g., claiming or canceling a listing). I also collaborated with teammates to finalize design elements in preparation for the upcoming user testing phase.

Overall, Week 8 focused on improving stability, refining UI responsiveness, and setting up a robust foundation for real-user feedback in the next sprint

Week-5 Report (Food NextDoor)

-
 Week-5 Report  June 28, 2025 My focus this week was on broadening our project by suggesting an idea that lends itself to our aim of tackling the problems of food waste and food accessibility - a Community Fridge Locator and Booking System. The idea was spurred by Starr's own research into local food-sharing projects, where community fridges are emerging as an increasingly popular grassroots solution. By adding a map-based fridge locator to our system, users will be able to see where there are community fridges near them, what is available or needed at which fridges, and they can even claim space to drop off their food. This sort of system can be very helpful for smaller food businesses or supermarkets, or anyone wishing to give away perishables in a speedy, organised fashion. In our group meeting, we put some thoughts on how this new module may be implemented, and those components include the following: Map Integration (e.g., Google Maps API) to search and visualize community...

Week 5 Report

  Week 5 Report  Project: Food NextDoor This week,  I engaged with some theoretical and technical explore to better understand the online food ordering and delivery ecosystem. This involves reviewing related academic literature on the topic and analyzing how existing systems are organized and tested. I go back to the Trello board to track progress and ensure alignment with the tasks allocated across the team. This helped me to understand better how each component fits into our larger proposal and what indicators are approaching. During our colleague discussion, we focused on finalizing the roadmap and identifying the next steps. The conversation helped clarify roles and expectations, and we also briefly discussed system features that might be adaptable from real-world examples. One of the academic papers I reviewed gave valuable vision into the system's architecture, such as data flow diagrams and real-time module alterations, which could influence how we bu...
