Lindsay and I have completely changed the structure and layout of our app this week. Its looking a lot better now. Instead of having a blog page for each page, we have set it up so you can now just swipe through the pictures. Scroll through the facts and jokes, and choose which recipe you would like to see. Today we spent our time uploading pictures because it turns out it is a very time consuming task. Uploading recipes takes even longer but now were getting the hang of it, its been going quicker and we have over 40 new pictures.

This week, Lauren was not here so we could not work on our presentation. Instead I worked on all the feeds adding more and more things. The recipes feed was the main one I worked on because we did not have really anything in that feed and now we have many different recipes. That was probably be the hardest thing to work on because it made me really hungry. This splash screen is still being really annoying and we have still not gotten one for each thing.

This week we have been adding lots of things to each of our feeds, we've updated and added more photos, jokes, and facts about chickens. We have concluded that we really need to get a jump on our speech because the due date is going to come up really quick. So today we have been working on and outlining the basics of our speech.

This week we have been working on the feeds for the app again. We are slowly adding more and more things to the different feeds of our app. We also tried to make our icon picture fit better in the space. We are still trying to find a splash screen to fit each device but we still can't get one to fit everything. This splash screen has been giving us a lot of trouble and we are definitely ready for it to finally work out. Hopefully that is sometime soon because we are definitely annoyed with it.

This week we have made all of the feeds for our app (pictures, recipes, facts/jokes, and information).  We had to make a separate blog for each of the sections that we want for our app. This was the only way that we could figure out how to make them, so if we figure out another way to make the feeds and it looks better than what we have now we may re make them. So far this is the hardest thing that we have had to do in the making of our app. We have also tried to find a splash screen for each type of mobile device but so far we have only found one that works for iPhones and 1 iPad. We are getting closer to the finished product of our app and we are glad that things are on track.

     This week we have been working on adding in the different feeds we need for our app. It's a slow process but we have figured out how to put pictures on the pictures page which is connected to another blogger account we made. The way it works is to have the pictures show up on the app all we have to do is copy and paste the pictures we want onto the blogger page. Our next step will be to find out how to add recipes to the app which I predict will be a little more tricky.

This week we have been researching on how to make different feeds for our app. We've checked out a few different websites and have made a flicker account. It's a lot more work then we expected and we have to find lots of different codes to enter to get different styles. We have added a lot more pictures of chickens to our picture page  and have been trying to create a different splash screen but we can't figure out how to make them all the correct sizes for the different devices you will be able to access our app on.

This week we have made another banner for our app. The last banner we made we were not able to put onto our app because it was not the right size. So now we have a header for our app and its starting to come together. We have also started to work on the content of the different sections of the app. We have to make a separate feed for every section and we are trying to figure out how to do that. We also learned that we do not need to go through an app store in order for others to download our app. You only need to the link for our app. Our app is considered a live app so you are able to see all our progress as we go. Everything that we change others can see. We have both downloaded it and are working on adding all of the content and polishing our app!

Weekly work: Week 3

This week we researched how to get an app onto the App Store. We're still not exactly sure on all the details but we have a clearer picture. We would also have to get someone 18 or older to put it up for us. We also made a banner for our app that we couldn't resize to get it on there so we are going to make it differently and see if it works next time.

Weekly work: Week 2

So this week Lindsay and I have worked all on our pitch. We had shirts made for the presentation and they turned out pretty well. We made a big poster board about our project and filled it up with information all about why we chose to make an app and everything our app will include. We also put examples of all those things on our poster and pictures. We have made a twitter page for our app. Our name is @101chicken101. We are filling that with all things chicken and are steadily gaining followers and will advertise our app via twitter when it is complete.

Weekly Work: Week 1

Week 1!

This week, Lauren and I have started to work on our app, our blog, and our pitch. So far working on our app we have been working on the appearance and overall appeal of our project. We focused basically on the curb appeal with things like the icon of the app and the different make up of the app. Today we have spent spicing up our blog and completing all the necessary fields and requirements. We edited the template for our blog and tried to make it at least somewhat presentable for this project. Our pitch is not going as well as it probably should be. All that we have done for that so far is get a poster board and have started brain storming the way that we want to put that together and the rest of our proposal. Today we came up with the genius idea to make/ order shirts for our pitch and for our app. We don’t know if that will actually happen but we thought it would be a pretty cool thing to have.

Description:

      We have decided that our 20 project is to try and learn to make an app and we chose to make it all about chicken! We think it would be a cool new skill to learn and it would further our technology skills.
