I’ve been working on giving out feedback for the STAs on CLIO trainings and it’s been super fun. I enjoy getting the challenges of trying to figure out what was going on in the code and help troubleshoot them. Also I’ve been trying my best to explain the HTML / CSS aspects of CLIO and I’ve been getting good feedback on them so yay!
Throughout the summer, I’ve been working on a hackathon project with my friends Jennifer, Jeff, Matt, and Bryan. The idea for our app is a mobile platform where individuals can keep track of goals but at the same time make groups with their friends and track common goals among each other. We wanted the app to encourage a supportive environment among friends, especially as we know how COVID-19 has really impacted our motivations to work!
Here’re some screenshots of our app, compiled as the cover for our submission.
Although we didn’t win the hackathon (the wining teams have very cool projects ideas!) I’m very grateful to have had this opportunity to work together with my friends as well as learning a completely new technology (React Native) from scratch to build this app. It has been a process (12 weeks O.O) but I’m really happy that just simply committing to finishing 1 or 2 small things per day makes a different!
Here’s the YouTube demo video of our app. I’ve marked the time stamp where we started walking through the user flow.

This week I present Schumann’s favourite composition, claimed by the composer himself, Kreisleriana. The work aims to portray the musical version of E. T. A. Hoffmann’s fictious, eccentric, wild, and witty conductor Kapellmeister Kreisler. The contrapunctal characters presented in the piece supposedly represent Schumann’s “Florestan” and “Eusebius,” the two contrasting characters Schumann used to describe himself (which is interesting to note, considering the composer might have had schizophrenia). Anyways, here is the piece.
After helping a client with the accordion, Suloni wanted me to add these instructions to the COLA Help Guide. She also provided some feedback on putting an interactive accordion example on top of the instructions as well. Here it is.

I’ve been working with Bridget to help replace old VLabs Videos from .mp4 formats to .webm format. Here’s a screenshot of our progress.
