Figma

• To create our design drafts and final designs, we used the graphics editor Figma.

Miro

• Miro offers a great opportunity to collect and share ideas with all the team members.

Flutter

• To build our app, we used Flutter. It is an open-source framework from Google that allows you to build platform independent apps, based on the programming language Dart.

Android Studio

• In order to run an emulator for our app, we used Android Studio which is a development environment from Google.

Docker

• Docker is a software for isolating applications using container virtualization. We used it to run our database with the server.

NodeJS

• We used a NodeJS server for our backend with Typescript.

ExpressJS

• It is a framework for NodeJS applications that provides additional features for faster development.

MongoDB

• We decided to use this document-based database system for our application due to its flexibility.

Postman

• Postman is a platform where one can develop and test APIs which we have used a lot while developing the front- and backend.

Gitlab

• To manage our codebase, we used Gitlab. We had a repository for both the frontend and the backend. We also created a Kanban board to have an overview of our open tickets and who was working on which ticket.

Zoom

• If we did not meet at the HTW, we resorted to Zoom for our meetings

Discord

• In order to clarify quick questions outside of our meetings or to keep each other up to date, we set up a Discord server where our communication took place.
