Milestone 4

This version of our application seeks to modify and fix several issues apparent in the previous release:

• Postgresql database not functioning correctly on Heroku
• Increase user-friendliness by making home page more accessible with map icons and text guidance
• Increase space efficiency of pages by removing large areas of gray spacing

This version also adds:

• Location listing on the location page
• Functional search for fishes through the Fish Database page

All these issues have been completed, at the very least to a satisfactory degree, as follows:

• The database is now functional on Heroku, and all data is able to be retrieved normally
• Round map icons have been applied to each location, so users are able to easily tell where accessible areas of data is
• Superfluous spacing inside tables and between responsive columns have been minimized, allowing more information to be displayed at once and offering overall a cleaner look
• Location listing allow users to quickly search for areas with available data
• Fish search is implemented so users can search through our entire fish database with name paremeters

Milestone 2

This second release does not improve much on the application itself, but rather the management and documentation of the Reef Nexus project.

As opposed to the empty wiki and mockup readme that we had previously, we now have:

• Updated the readme to reflect the status of the web application rather than the mockup
• Created a GitHub page by extracting information from the readme
• Created a developer and user guide
• Updated the contact information

The Reef Nexus team as a whole have also incorporated a more issue-driven environment by utilizing the GitHub issues system. There are several enhancement and quirks that we would like to fix and implement within the application, and we have created manageable issues for each of these areas.

We will continue to update documentation as deemed fit, in order to ensure proper organization of project management.

Milestone 1

This first release of Reef Nexus implements a fully functional map UI which users can choose from a set of predetermined locations to view the top ten fish sighted by users. Clicking on the location in the right pane leads to a page providing more details, including all fish that have observed at the location.

Users can also add fish that they have observed by clicking on the map location, and then hitting the "Add Fish" button. This will take them to a page where they can input the fish they have seen.

Yet to be implemented is a fully functional authentication page, and a fish database which contains all fish species as provided by Reef Nexus.
