Ega’s Journal — Week 4
This is the 4th post for my journal, the previous post can be seen here.
What I Have Done
In the fourth week our team were finalizing project plan. I helped the team to create and finalize project documentation such as user story, product proposal, and mockups
Puti Fitri Larasati and I found a great tool for making a prototype for our website it’s a web based application named Invision. the app is so great for designing the prototype for it have a version control feature, a comment that can be added on the image itself so we can easily give a specific feedback to the design. here is how it look like:

I then started creating our website prototype by making screens with Adobe Photoshop. the first screen that i made was the homepage for our website. here is the image:
more screens will be added soon. this design was mainly inspired from other developers website such as facebook, instagram, and twitter at first the coloring was intended to be brighter but then for now i choose a darker color. it need some feedback from others so for the time come i will ask people about the design. The style chosen was Flat to make it more modern and easy on the eyes. it also make the user be focus on what they are doing and not being attracted by any other thing. but the downside is it still feel a little bland to the taste but maybe after getting a feedback i can make it better.
Then i also took two sprint backlog for our first sprint. the first one is to make a controller class for the page that was being crawled by the crawler. and the second one is to make a config class for setting up or initialize the crawler configuration by reading a text-file or else. the configuration includes: The website address that will be crawled, how many pages that will be crawled, the depth of the crawl, and what are the proxy config being used (user, password)so the crawl can run under the proxy, and set the crawler if it is resumable or not.
What’s next?
I’ll start writing the code for the sprint, and continue finishing and upgrading the website prototype.
