Hi
The wireframes look good!

The link to your project on github is 404. Please fix it. That's the main way I can find it!

Also, can you share your trello board with the public, so that I can read your stories?

Hi!

Thanks for submitting your first real homework assignment for Liftoff.

My name's Dave and I'm excited to help you navigate your way through the LiftOff project and hopefully help you find a way to a great new job.

You've put forward a project outline for a program at your church which organizes information collected by volunteers. It sounds like something you've spent some time thinking about. There's just a few things I want to ask you about to make sure you've got a solid vision and an achievable chunk of work.

For your project outline, I'd like you to spell out exactly what models - database tables - you're going to use. You mention users, lessons, attendance, activities and comments. Are those all models? Are there other models? And how do the various models interact? One-to-one, one-to-many-, or many-to-many? That'll help me understand better where you intend to go.

Also, please spell out exactly how each model will be editable. Can users create it? Read (view) it? Update it? Delete it? Please sketch out that C.R.U.D. for each model. Also, Indexes are a common pattern, where you view a table of models of the same type - will you build any of those?

Sidenote:
My experience in TA'ing this class is that students can churn out 1-2 of these pages a week, though there's wild variation. One seemed to reimplement half of Facebook in two weeks. Another took a month to write a create page. As long as people are learning stuff that meets their needs, different speeds help more people learn things that meet their needs.

Have you given thought to whether you want to use Thymeleaf or Angular? I think the class discussed this last Thursday, but if you missed it or it didn't make sense, please let me know.

Are there any other technologies that will make this application extra useful? For example, having a UI that works well both on phone and computer. Generally we press students to interface with one tech that wasn't covered in class. It makes it easier to get y'all jobs, because we can say "Look, so-and-so learned blah-blah-blah! They've got passion, drive, and aptitude. Hire them!"

Please resubmit with the requested questions answered and drop me a note in slack when you do.
