It’s stormy season! Gainesville was hit by Hurricane Helene this week — fortunately, our team’s workflow hasn’t been too terribly disrupted by the storm.

In the past week, we’ve started to make some concrete progress with our project. Using guidance from some online resources, we were able to implement screen sharing and remote control of a desktop from another machine — one of the most important features of our project! Though we will likely have to make some changes to this implementation in the future, we are starting to get a solid understanding of how WebRTC fits into our app as well as what the architecture of the app should look like.

We’ve also started using some important planning tools — Kanban and Figma — to better organize our team. Here’s a sneak peek of what our preliminary designs look like:

Lastly, we’ve finalized our logo design! We added some details to the desktop screen to better reflect the remote control/collaborative aspect of our project, and made some adjustments to the gator’s appearance. Take a look!

Next week we plan to further flesh out the project architecture, set up our project’s CI/CD pipeline, and debug some of the features that we’ve implemented. Until next time!
