There is a navbar at the bottom of the C1 or C2 concept. This navbar will be visually created with the staff directory. The buttons must be linked to the flutter router as well as linked to left and right-swiping anywhere on the screen. Note the staff directory is the only page currently under development so place holder pages must be used.
Have everyone update their information

Program the visual design on the agreed-upon C1 layout.
Staff containers should scroll down until the last one is directly above the navbar for ease of reach.
import svg icons into staff directory pages.
We need a website for ourselves.
Write a thank you note to the developers who have taken their time to tutor us about React.js
Team members who are working on website need to get up speed on the website
Review and consult Ben where applicable.
Use C1 or C2 concept (whichever is most up to date) You must coordinate with whoever is working on A-Z list layout

Update the following fields for our project. These updated fields will then be updated to be shown on the website.

This issue is for project managers @jbubar and @nicolekelner
Start coding the front end of the website.
The main options for this are Vue or React.
React is used in 2,958,748 public projects on GitHub, while Vue is only used in 1,199,437.
I believe we should start with React, as Jason and I are already studying it and using it on other projects. There are also more React developers at HFLA then Vue developers.
If you approve I will open a new React project and set it up with Material UI and Material UI Design Icons, so we can start engineering the front end of the website that people will use to design the apps.
If you think we should use Vue instead we will need Nicole to create it, as I have no experience with Vue.
Finally, I am putting this issue in the Icebox as we can't start on it until @jbubar approves. Once a decision is made please move it to the "In progress" section.
Program the visual design on the agreed-upon C1 layout.

There are 3 pages in the staff directory navbar. This is a temporary bar that will only be there while the staff directory page is open. There are 3 buttons shown in either the C1 or C2. Use whichever is most up to date.

App bar doesn't have a UI. The UI should allow for:
The menu icon to show the different pages
The search bar to do something, or get rid of it
Create Icons that will be used in the staff directory function.
Need to make a user input form to learn about the technologies available to students.
Figure out what will be used to make the form and then make it.
Add dependencies to tasks in GitHub to ensure all team members understand what can and cannot be started
Add tags and more info to tasks that are unclear and/or misleading
We need a clear architecture that is easy to understand, contribute to, easy to use for the app.
Our platform website is just getting started, and we need to set up a router on it.
We are looking for help on this. If you are interested please let me know on this PR.
Create a survey to understand user needs in the student, staff, and parent categories.
Make the survey
Include feature ideas
Include different user groups
keep it short
Research other early user feedback surveys and compare
create svg icons based on C1 concept and feedback.
Create central router and homepage code

To add different Web Pages in the website. One for each Contributor, a Home Page, and maybe more.
Research how to use these and implement it into our code.
Create an algorithm for the staff directory that allows searching for a teacher, class, subject, etc. All of these parameters must be able to yield a teacher without the user specifying what parameter they are inputting.
Look for a react.js developer to volunteer their time to tutor our developer team.
