We did miss you @emilio12345 hope all is well and that you are able to find some free time to stay on top of our workflow.
2. My microphone is causing us issues with communication so I am going to try and use my webcam mic instead.
3. Shout out to @Emimint for putting together a document to help the meeting go smooth and to @PaulaR-05 for all of the support behind the scenes
4. Decided to upgrade my hard drive yesterday. Went from this: 500mb free on my C Drive to 900gb free XD
   
   

[PaulaR-05]

1. Did some pair programming with @mnichols08, I could understand/learn how to use Github on terminal and basic commands to work with. The meeting was great, I can see that we are all improving our soft skills and building positive relationships with each other. Thanks so much for helping organize it beforehand @Emimint, it was much simpler using that document you suggested. Also, thanks a lot @mnichols08, I can see that you are a great teammate, always helping us to succeed on this project.
2. My PC was slow, so I did some changes but anyway I will try to make sure everything is working well.
3. Shout out to @everyone, 2 more items on the sprint, and its only Wednesday. YAY!
4. I'm thinking about adopting a dog, I had one for 18 years but she passed away in December, last year. I miss her so much :'(

[Emimint]

Awww sorry about your puppy :( ! I undestand how you feel. So many doggies are looking for a home, go make one happy :) !

[Emimint]

1. Today I: worked on creating a mobile friendly CSS file for the landing page.

2. I am struggling with: CSS in general haha, 😅!

3. Special Thanks to: Gabriela for accepting to help me tomorrow with making this work 🙏🏾 .

4. Something else random about your day: spring is finally here 🌼💐🌻 and I can't wait to go back to do some running outside 🏃🏾‍♀️!

Some examples of fun web apps that help you visualize how flex works and subconsciously trick your brain into just getting it hope one of these helps!

[PaulaR-05]

Thanks a lot for these examples 🙌

[Emimint]

@mnichols08 thanks a lot, I will definitively have a look 🙏🏾!

[mnichols08]

1. Today I set up this discussions feature for some things like this. I think if we all commit to communicating their stand up here it will pay off. I do wish I knew about it sooner, in future voyages I plan to use them a lot more and early on.

2. My biggest struggle at the moment regarding this project is seeing a day go by like today where I was available to help someone but didn’t. If there is ever a time where my time aligns with your time and you have any questions no matter how mundane please let me help you understand =) I enjoy teaching and I grow/learn from it is a win-win trust me!

3. Special Thanks to everyone for supporting each other throughout the project.

4. I had a pretty unique pair programming experience tonight. He proposed it super early on - something neither of us knew how to do. This is what we came up with together https://mnichols08.github.io/chingu-pairprogramming/session-03/dist/index.html. It turned out pretty neat.

[PaulaR-05]

Great project, BTW! Congrats 🎉🎊

[Emimint]

@mnichols08 I did some pair programming with @PaulaR-05 and you are next on my list! (Well, when our schedule will match 😅 !)

[PaulaR-05]

Lucky girl, Em! He is the best teacher ever.

[mnichols08]

@mnichols08 I did some pair programming with @PaulaR-05 and you are next on my list! (Well, when our schedule will match 😅 !)

We will figure out a time, it is a shame we really only have once a week that times align - but that's better than some =)

[PaulaR-05]

1. Today: @Emimint and I are having a pair programming experience. Yesterday, I wrote a semantic HTML for the game input (forgot to tell you guys 🙁 sorry about that).

2. I am struggling with: Making time for studying, I feel that I could help more...But at the same time, I'm having a busy week at work. So, I will try to find a balance between them.

3. Special Thanks to: @mnichols08 who has been a great teammate, helping everyone in the project. Thanks a lot, Mikey!

4. Something else random about your day: I was struggling with the flu, however today I'm feeling better. Looking forward to getting well very quickly.

[Emimint]

1. Today I: finished writing the CSS for the mobile friendly version of the website 🥳! (Still need validation tho 🙃)

2. I am struggling with: Getting organized between studying, taking care of me and my home. Well, it's life.

3. Special Thanks to: Gabriela and Mikey for being continuous supply of good tips and advice. You guys are amazing 👍🏾!

4. Something else random about your day: I am of to see the last John Wick tomorrow. Can't wait 💕!

[mnichols08]

1. Today was draining for me. I am car pooling for the time being so after work I wound up tagging along to run some errands with my friend. It wasn't a big deal but it added about two extra hours to my commute home which is usually ten minutes. I'm pooped, but I did take some time to review a pull request. I hope it is helpful.

2. I wish I was able to access the Discord App at work but I have to use my phone. I tend to type more eloquent responses than I will scratch with my phone. I also like to help but I end up being that guy at work that is always answering the phones and juggling tasks so please understand anything I may say from my phone should be taken lightly.

3. Special Thanks to: My coworker Aron for picking me up this morning and giving me a ride to/from work (and tomorrow too!)

4. This whole stand up has been about my day outside of the project haha, so well about the project: Remember our focus is MVP. We don't need it to be fancy, just functional. We are two issues away from writing a few JS files to make it all work - so we can then decide which way to go next. Keep at it we got this!

[PaulaR-05]

Omg 2 extra hours after work is hard :( But happy that you could find a ride to work/home and get there safely! :)

[PaulaR-05]

1. Today: Friday usually is a busy day at work [Reduce to tears]. I almost didn't have time even for a coffee which is considered a crime in Gabriela's world.
2. I am struggling with: Making time for studying. I feel I could help more my teammates. So I'm thinking about waking up early and studying before work.
3. Special Thanks to: My brother. He brought me chocolate made in Bahia. produced by the family farming system (it brings together people committed to working on family farming and agroecology ) <3
4. Something else random about your day: Tomorrow, I might go to a Foster Event. If everything goes well, I will be able to fill out the form for those interested in adopting...so Fingers Crossed🤞

[mnichols08]

No coffee no bueno!

Fingers crossed on the event that it leads to a new family member =)

[PaulaR-05]

No coffeee = no bueno!

Yay... fingers crossed!

[mnichols08]

1. Today: I carpooled to work but got to take a company vehicle home. So I got home at a decent time and a ride in the morning at my leisure. That is nice =) Tonight I will still do some more coding but today I have been looking over some code written by @Emimint. I provided a bit of feedback about what is happening. I still have not given a review of @Nazile-Tag's code but it looked to be sufficient however we had some pull requests being made into the wrong repository so some small technical errors, but we are still way on track.

2. I understand everybody here have their own schedules and families and lives, but we really would benefit from coding sessions together. Even if is just ten minutes before work, right @PaulaR-05?

3. Special Thanks to: @Medic1111 for providing guidance and support

4. I guess it's more of a struggle, but I didn't get a green square on github yesterday because the single contribution I made was a code review that I edited today and it counted as todays =(

[PaulaR-05]

Yeah! I'll manage to make more time for it next week. Pair programming was one of the best learning experiences I have ever had!
Also, the last time we were together was a great meeting. I wish we could do it more often during the week 🤞

[Emimint]

@mnichols08 sorry about that 😓 , but I think in the end it is valuable experience for all of us. And please prioritize fixing your car 🚗🙏🏾!

[mnichols08]

1. Today I worked on a forked version of our project to fiddle around with a vanilla JS html renderer function that I made. It was fun to play with but it has some weird side effects like rendering commas between elements that are mapped.
2. I need to change the clutch in my car and it is appearing that I might have an opening on this coming Tuesday, I am just sad cause I want to be here to.
3. Special Thanks to My Co Worker @Zed34k for taking me home this evening and giving me a ride tomorrow. Sucks to not have my car but I am getting by
4. It is really windy here, shaking the whole house at times, hope it chills out soon

[Emimint]

1. Today I: I had a quick talk with @mnichols08 about my PR and I am really glad we talk and find a solution 🙏🏾!

2. I am struggling with: I actually did pretty good juggling with life this week. So not much struggle.

3. Special Thanks to: the only two other girls among my classmates. We are working hard together 🦸‍♀️!

4. Something else random about your day: John Wick 4 was good, but not as much as the third one. My opinion: wait for it to go on TV!

[PaulaR-05]

Oh really, are there only 3 girls among your classmates? GIRL POWER o/

[mnichols08]

1. I was thrilled to meet briefly with @Emimint early this morning and discuss the project. Today I had a crazy hectic day at work so I came home and took a power nap but after I:

• opened a pull request to close issue Place doc files in a subfolder #93 as discussed in Where to keep doc files? #79
• created issues We should create a folder structure for our web application #96, Convert at least 5 stories to JSON #97, Install the Webpack Dependency #98, Configure the Webpack Dependency #100, Install and Configure the SASS Dependency #101, Import JSON file into our project #103
• Made a prototype of what our app could look like if we completed those issues

3. I am struggling with not having enough hours in the day, and also hey I ran out of time but I am here typing so you should be too ;) If you are thank you as well. Good night Team
4. Special thanks to @Nazile-Tag, @PaulaR-05, @emilio12345, and @Emimint for participating in this voyage with me.

[PaulaR-05]

Happy you could take a power nap, sometimes we have to slow down and rest! ❤️
Also, thanks a lot for all this work, Mikey!

PS: I forgot to type about my day, yesterday. Sorry about that team 🙁

[PaulaR-05]

1. Today I: I will be working on the tasks I assigned 🤞 I hope I will be able to do everything
2. I am struggling with: well, I'm struggling with a JS course that I'm taking. But I believe it is okay since JS is challenging. I might struggle in the project this week as we are creating functions and coding, so let's be optimistic (always 🤞 )
3. Special Thanks to: everyone for the hard work you have put into the project :)
4. Something else random about your day: at the weekend, I filled out a form for adopting a puppy. Get our hopes up for it ❤️

[mnichols08]

1. Today I reviewed a change to the mobile design by @Nazile-Tag and filled out the sprint review. I also went and tried to give a high level overview of what each function should do and how they should work together.
2. I am sleepy, so I will rest soon.
3. Special Thanks to my coworker Ryan for giving me a ride after work to get Sapphire from storage
4. Just looking forward to our meeting tomorrow =)

[PaulaR-05]

1. Today I: I'm still working on the tasks I assigned, plus we have our meeting :)

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and Happy Friday 🙌

[mnichols08]

Hello Everyone hope you are enjoying your weekends. I reviewed a few pull requests and I came home and did some pair programming. We built a stopwatch.

I am struggling with knowing if I am being overly protective of the codebase. I fear I am slowing production by requesting changes so often.

I want to say thanks to all of you for putting up with my change requests

I need to sleep now but I wanted to post this before I did sleep.

[PaulaR-05]

1. Today I: I took a class from a CSS Course :)

2. I am struggling with: Making time for all things we have to do in life :(

3. Special Thanks to: my brother who did the grocery for me this week 😁

4. Something else random about your day: I got back to the gym today after the flu that I had o///

[mnichols08]

1. Today I decided to push some changes on our repository to get us set up with Webpack and SASS so we can speed up production. I spent a little time updating five stories in the format we should have it in to dynamically render the page for at least five stories. I actually managed to overcome a coding problem I was facing a few days ago. We can now dynamically render both input pages and story pages using the variables property on each scenario. Check it out! | Code

2. I am struggling with not being sleepy at all at night - but so exhausted beyond death in the morning that I need 8 cups of coffee to function and it is a never ending cycle.

3. Special Thanks to my mom for everything she does

4. Today it was almost like a tornado was going to happen with so much wind. On my way home from work I drive over a mountain top and there was an updraft of leaves just lifting off the road and into the air up up and away it was a trip.

[PaulaR-05]

1. Thanks a lot for all the effort, Mikey! 🤗
2. oh that's not good, sometimes it's good to slow down and rest :)
3. moms are the best, always.
4. omg!

You deserve the Mickey Ds though for the dirty word function XD

[PaulaR-05]

I haven't read so many bad words in my whole life haha

[mnichols08]

Today Gabriela showed me her function she came up with and we were able to fill in a bunch of words from a github repository and get it working =) Just need to push some code to implement in our project

I am struggling to find time to do everything I want to do and

Thanks to everyone for sticking in this, we will be making it look pretty soon enough

today I washed my car and changed her air filter =)

3. Special thanks to: Mikey, for all the work he has done helping us. Thanks Mikey!
4. Today I went to the gym at 5 AM after eating Mcdonald's yesterday haha (balance is everything in life xD)

[mnichols08]

Wow I have neglected this a few days. Sorry about that.
Today: I haven't done much with the project, but I did update an issue title.
I've been struggling to keep up with this standup.
Special Thanks to all of my coworkers today for putting up with me working on my car in between customer waves
I ended up having two cars at work today so I decided to go to my hometown for lunch and bum a ride back to work to get the other car home XD. Big thanks to my coworkers and boss - Even though it's not the dream job it's really a great place to work.

[mnichols08]

Today I have been working on implementing a dynamic header and footer. I was able to pull it off where the dots will migrate off screen / new ones appear. I really had a blast making this work. There is more we could do, I think it would be wise to push history into the browser so the user can use the back button as well.
I struggled to figure out a way to not get the dots to re-render if you run the init function back to back so there is a mild bug to work on there if we push that code
Special Thanks to Emilie for coming through with the python script that sorted out our data today (right in the knick of time!)
We had a big family gathering today and when the little ones came around I was able to entertain them with our App, and it was just as @Emimint pushed a major update to the JSON that let them test out our app. It was so cool to see them laugh at some of the jokes. I noticed they were able to type peacock and it passed the filter. I wasn't anticipating for it to let it go through. I think you can sneak cuss words in if you surround them with other characters. But it was useful to see them use the App.

[PaulaR-05]

awnnnn, so nice! I wish I could see them playing!

[mnichols08]

It did wonders to visualize a better user experience!

[PaulaR-05]

1. Today: upload a branch with a readme update with the great work @Emimint Did with python + upload the meet our team page
2. I am struggling with having time. But I knew that It would be a problem... so, Let's do it o/
3. Special thanks to my parents for coming home and having lunch with me yesterday <3
4. Something else about your life non-project related to share: I burned my hand cooking a lasagna. Silly me
