- It's the next phase of a prior project, AIBuddy, and I'm still deeply involved with the tech/skills I've used at that time (REST, Django, JavaScript, Electron, & Tensorflow Js).
- I work in a team to follow a design specification and implement it using Bootstrap in Electron. Bootstrap allows me to design and follow the specification quickly, focusing on things that matter.
- To improve the amount of control I have over the implementation, I work directly with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS alongside the available framework.
- The project will also expand the previous version's database and API (Django & REST) to handle new data and to implement user management.
- Mac Application Development process is necessary to deploy the app for macOS in the Mac App Store. Specifically, I deal with certification, signing, provisioning, & entitlements of the app.
Doing great detailed work.
