# Sprint 1

## Lars Barmettler 
For the first week the workload was straightforward and not very demanding. This was exactly what I needed to familiarize myself with the technologies. It also supported a smooth start in a certain project management flow, which requires time to embrace itself at the beginning of a project. I didn't had a lot of problems this weeks except the fact that I had to attend the meetings remotely because of a positive corona test. 
## Matthieu Burguburu

During this sprint, I added Firebase support to the app and modeled the user profile api. I had no real trouble adding Firebase support, but the testing of the user profile api was more challenging than expected, since mocking Firebase was really impractical. After changes made by Alexandre, mocking was really made more practical and I had no more trouble finishing my task.

## Chau Ying Kot

My task for this sprint is simple, but it's good to learn how to use `Compose` and `Kotlin`. I had no particular problems with the tasks itself but with the material. My laptop is slow when Android Studio is open, from now on, I will work on my PC at home.

## Fouad Mahmoud

For this sprint, I implemented the authentication screen's design and user interface to have it resemble its Figma prototype. I also added an animation to switch from the user's login screen to the sign up one following the corresponding button click. 
I experienced some issues in the beginning as I was not sufficiently familiar with Jetpack Compose or Kotlin, so I had to go through some tutorials for that matter. I also wasted a bit of time trying to integrate a plugin I discovered that transforms Figma nodes to Jetpack Compose code as I initially thought it would be the best way to create an exact replica of the Figma mockup. However, it turned out to be too complex and not that accurate. I therefore received major help from Alexandre who enlightened me on several Jetpack Compose aspects when my initial UI implementation had some issues. 
My time estimates for my sprint tasks were large and a bit exceeded because of those issues but should be much lower for the next one. I now have a stronger Kotlin and Jetpack Compose base but will try to strengthen it even more by watching more tutorials before the next sprint to be prepared for it.

## Alexandre Piveteau (Scrum master)

My main duty for this sprint was to make sure the team collaborated smoothly, so I spent a considerable amount of time coordinating the different contributions and providing some inputs on using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Overall, I think this went well, as everyone did their part and we were able to ship the features we had planned. I also implemented navigation throughout the app, styling and theming, a Firestore in-memory store which we use for mocking, and helped implementing a bunch of screens and tests or the Firestore document layout for profiles. My time estimates were good, but they didn't account for the time spent coordinating the team work or helping my teammates.

## Mohamed Badr Taddist

Since it was my first time working with Jetpack Compose, I had to take an online codelab. I also received huge help from Alexandre which was nice. However, it took me quite sometime to refactor the code, at least more than I have expected. I have also learnt some Kotlin Coroutines and Flows and Flow from the dearest Scrum Master himself by reviewing some of his PRs.
