Mantra

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

Imperfect is ok. Even desirable!

Plan

(what do I plan to do)

• Implement pic story saving and sharing feature, user should be able to:
  1. Make a story
  2. Give it a title
  3. Save that story
  4. Reach goal: access the “public” version of that story with a URL
  5. Reach goal: reload a saved story for further editing, saving, etc.

What I got done

(plan != reality)

Quite a lot actually! We got most of the above finished:

• User can make a story
• Give it a name
• Save it to the DB
• AND access it via a custom URL (reach goal number one)

So I’m pretty pleased 😊

For next time

• Reload a saved story from the DB for further editing
• Some small stuff like adding a custom URL to the database object based on the title (currently it’s hardcoded functionality, but URL should be based on story title).
