Retrospectives

Period starting September to end of April

What went well:

• Had a working product for CodeMash
• Positive feedback and new features from users
• Interest from users in close proximity has been good.
• GitHub is great
• Cochran's apt good for meetings
• Group coding
• Progress is steady
• Keeping sustainable pace and not overworking ourselves
• Having resources to run against that helped root out problems and improvements
• Trello is awesome
• Creating great product up front using Tdd, pairing, and code review has made extensibility and improvement easy
• Cheezy's help getting initial release out the door
• Having the experience of doing the project both from a personal and professional level

What didn't go well:

• Nested steps shenanigans
• Rushed HTML rework for CodeMash
• Cochran needing to do a ton for/during Codemash solo
• Not enough group effort for a couple months
• Not enough visibility to community
• Didn't follow through on feature implementation and had to pull back release to fix (tag rules)
• Not as engaged during group coding as we could be
• Need wireless keyboard!

What's wrong with our HTML output?

• Original implementation has been identified as too unwieldy to use with large scrolling lists
