Design
We completely redid the building status page, since we were not able to implement the original version described in our paper prototype. We chose to use a Gantt chart to display a visual representation of any number of projects and their estimated completion time. As of the time of submission, we have not connected this page with the backend/database, but should give an idea of what it is intended to look like.
For the Projects page, we aligned the "Add New Project" form fields based on feedback received from the heuristic evaluations. We also made the table columns unresizable by the user.
Implementation
We decided to implement our website using HTML/CSS/JavaScript for the frontend, the Flask web development framework for the backend, and SQLite for the database. Flask is written in Python, and while it is similar in principle to Django, it is much more lightweight, and therefore is easier to set up and use. It has a templating system for web pages that reduces the amount of code duplication.
