  HTML and CSS progress on Hendrix Assessment

  This week was a continuation of the tasks from last week with a few added measures. I had a few additional tasks to do which included changing some style variables as well as adding the new links for the new versions of Good Vibes to the static webpage that I had created last semester.

  Close to Beta Testing

  Big leaps have been made, new pushes pushed. We are getting closer and closer to getting Good Vibes ready for beta testing! We just need to fix a few things and make sure everything works correctly. Andrew has been making many changes, including a big change where we no longer use a local database for our quotes. There were too many issues with getting the correct version of the database on everyones device which caused even more problems. Andrew decided to ditch the local database and move everything to the Firebase remote database. The reads and writes would be minimal even though everything gets moved remotely which was what I was concerned about. Maybe when our user base increases in size, then that will be a concern to deal with but for now, we’ll be okay.

  Slowly But Surely...

  This week I was hellbent on getting the hamburger menu to work for Hendrix Assessment. Previously, I was working on redoing the sharing process on Good Vibes and I had done the process before, I just needed to find the push in GitHub where I had made those changes. With a couple of fixes, I had the new sharing system in place and merged into the main branch in no time. With that success came the success of the hamburger menu finally. I had to hard code some things in since they did not want to work otherwise (HTML with C# is kinda weird and I am still working on learning things but I am still learning regardless). There are still some design issues that I would like to work on but the main thing is that the hamburger menu is functional and everything works properly.

  Back to Good Vibes

  This week was a shift in focus and bringing back the old project I was working on last semester: Good Vibes! It was really nice being able to work on something that I devoted a lot of time into and am familiar with compared to the Hendrix Assessment project I was working on the previous week. However, I would like to work on Hendrix Assessment more since there is so much for me to learn and get acquainted with since ASP.NET is very popular and I am rusty in HTML and CSS.

  Sidebars and Navbars

  Writing code and getting things to work can either be the most fun and rewarding activity or the most frustrating and defeating activity, and this past week has been a lot more of the latter. I was stuck on a functional programming question for a week and spent at least 10 hours on it and maybe made a few adjustments after trying to figure out how to get past the problem for hours. In the end, I could not figure it out and turned in the assignment half finished. Trying to fix the navbar situation from last week was just dirt on the wound. I made very little progress on the navbar and sidebar situation. I was able to get the sidebar to show up and disappear when the screen gets to a certain size, but I was not able to fix the sidebar overlapping the navbar or get the hamburger icon to show the sidebar elements when the hamburger is clicked.
