The challenge/difficulties to develop the application

Developing our project, Tourista, came with several challenges, especially at the beginning. One of the biggest difficulties we faced was communication within the team. Since we were not familiar with each other, it was hard to share ideas, understand how everyone worked, and collaborate effectively.

Another challenge we encountered was using GitHub for collaboration. Many team members were not familiar with GitHub's features, such as version control, pull requests, and resolving merge conflicts. This led to delays and confusion, especially when multiple members were working on the same files.

As time went on, we worked to solve these problems by having regular team discussions, using tools to help us collaborate more effectively, and being open and honest in our communication. For GitHub, we took the time to learn its features through tutorials and practiced using it as part of our workflow. These efforts helped us build trust, improve teamwork, and manage our codebase more effectively.

In the end, we were able to work well as a team and successfully complete the project. Along the way, we also improved our skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and using GitHub for version control. This experience taught us how important it is to communicate, adapt, and stay determined to reach our goals.
