Sunday, April 12, 2020

Completed Activities

• React webpage is nearly complete. Need to finalize user interface touch ups.
• Webpage is now deployed and hosted at https://confident-babbage-9cdf5d.netlify.app
• All data scraping is finalized and cleaned up

Activities Behind Schedule

• None. We hit finished most of our planned goals. If anything, final touch ups are needed.

Tasks for Next Snapshot

• Quarantine more
• Figure out final plan of deployment and continue brainstorming
• Finish up all documentation under Readme.md and Senior Project documents for class
• Touch up the deployed webpage UI components

Challenges Impeding Roadmap

• Unfortunately with the limited financial resources, free hosting platforms are unable to allow us to dynamically update the webpage with new scraped data. The only workaround is to constantly re-build and re-deploy the webpage every time the data needs to be refreshed. The problem here is that the usage of the webpage data will go up and is out of the constraints of the free tier offered by Netlify (web hosting platform). For now, the proof-of-concept code has been left inside of the repository to show that new data can be refreshed with the use of one single command. This can be seen with scrape_all.py and all code under /scrapers
