Mantra

(a small idea to guide the day’s work)

It always takes longer than you think it will

Plan

(what do I plan to do)

• Implement an uploaded photo browser and selector, which will “complete the cycle” of the photo upload and render process:
  1. Upload a photo
  2. Select a layout template
  3. Pick an area of the layout template to add a photo to
  4. Pick a photo to add
  5. Render the right photo in the right place!

What I got done

(plan != reality)

• Implemented a uploaded photo browser and selector! Now a user can go through the whole process of adding content to the app, both text and images, in addition to customizing its appearance 😃

For next time

• Debug user info problems (our good friend Alice is still hard-coded into the active user state atom)
• Implement pic story saving and sharing feature

Links

(things referenced mid-stream)

• Bouncing ball reference for code warmup
• Clojure Docs for the language I’m building in
