20th October Wednesday

Since Lilly had done amazing work with CSS yesterday evening adding the new post field, we were able to continue this morning by adding functionality to the submit button. This proved harder than expected, we remained blocked on this for most of the day and had to enlist help from Alex.

Despite starting a little later in the day, Team TBJ made great progress in adding the name field in signup and storing this in the database so it displays with posts. They were also able to make clear distinctions and separate profile and feed in our codebase.

We were then able to successfully merge all branches except Tom's work on adding the GitHub signup option, as it would be simpler to generate a user controller so devise can add OmniAuth support to do the heavy lifting.

Due to time constraints, we will not be taking on the additional DevOps challenge of deploying to AWS. Instead, the current plan is to merge, push to release and deploy to Heroku.

In our standup, Team TBJ were able to add all the attributes such as country, language and IDE in the signup stage. However, they were not able to in the edit profile settings and deduced that it was due to a problem with the devise controller. Team SIL though still blocked, were able to make significant progress and gain visibility, and messages now appear in the database.

Tomorrow, we hope to work in pairs to cover more ground, with teams working on the posts/params issue, image uploads with active storage and adding functionality/styling to edit profiles.
