We met with Charlie yesterday mainly in regard to the coding discussed in the previous meeting. Eoin is planning to hard code the filter function for now, as we are falling behind on production and getting stuck on smaller code issues. But an SQL database may be returned to in the last couple of weeks […]
We went on an excursion yesterday and bought lots of spices for our photoshoot. We need to replace the current placeholder images with our own content. So we’re going to photograph everything, the shoot is provisionally scheduled for this Monday 4th November. The above are just the dried spices. We’ll buy the fresh herbs on […]
Bit of a late update. Last Friday we met with Charlie and Keith. Charlie had emailed us some feedback regarding our Sprint 2 presentation, but we had a few questions so we wanted to discuss this. We also wanted to speak to Keith about the best way to implement the filter/search feature on the app. […]
We went along to a testing group in DIT last Tuesday. Ruthy of Malevolence kindly organised the session, so a group of us were able to test our projects on each other and also on the new recruits who started the MSc course this semester. It was a good opportunity to observe someone using the […]
Last Friday we had our Sprint 2 presentation. We had to explain what we’ve done since the last sprint, demo how Blend currently looks and show what we intend to have done by the next sprint presentation in mid November. We had Blend on our iPads as demos, but we also showed this video of […]

Here are the icons so far, along with the full set of colour swatches for the app. Aren’t they cute?! The aim was to create icons that would fit with the overall style but still retain some character and personality, without impacting on functionality. The orange icons let the user know when there is a […]
Here’s a short summary of the results of the design survey. These are based on 30 responses. The users were shown the two images above and asked questions based on these. As you can see above, the overall feedback for the designs were positive. We also got some more detailed feedback through a comments […]
Currently getting some feedback from people on visuals. Please click here to complete a super short survey, if you haven’t done so already! Thanks 🙂
It’s been a busy week at Team Blend! We met with our tutor, Charlie, on Friday. Eoin has made a lot of progress on the coding side of the build, with the main navigation now working, hurray. Charlie was happy with the results of this and the methods behind the build, which will be explained […]
