Slack

We used Slack as our main communication and organisation-tool while working on our project. There we could easily gather information and share links that are relevant for our project. Slack also was a good platform to discuss and quickly inform eachother about current problems and difficulties.

Trello

Trello was used to keep track of our Backlog.

GitHub

For making it easier for us to work on the same codebase together and handle version control we used GitHub. And as we all were already familiar with it, it is easy to use and it is also a good practice for later jobs we didn’t even had to talk about wether to use it or not.

Strato,WhatsApp

As secondary communication-tools we used Strato and WhatsApp.

Visual Studio Code

Our team used Visual Studio Code as text editor, because it offers the best compatibility and makes working with libraries like React very easy.

Figma

For getting a first idea of what our app could look like and what functionality we want to include we used Figma to create a first click through mock-up in the beginning and developed it further during the development process to visualise our ideas. Additionally we also used the design from our mock-up for our prototype.

React.js

React is a declarative, efficient, and flexible JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Because of already existing experience with React in our frontend team and it having a great documentation and a lot of tutorials it was the library of our choice.

MongoDB

We use MongoDB as a document-oriented NoSQL database management system that makes it easy to organize all data.

Mongoose

To simplyfiy our data management we decided to use Mongoose as a straight-forward, schema-based solution to model the application data.
