What I completed this week (link to last week’s commitments):

  • Created sketch of UI
  • Refined database tables and fields based on the test run
  • Created idea bank for growth strategies

  • Identify potential technologies for challenging features

  • Create a list of potential metrics for weekly updates that better reflect this project
  • Share taxonomy drafts with one person
