11/30/2021 0 Comments Week 14: FinalsFinals...Again...
It is the end of the semester once again, and it is time to look back at how far we have come. In this semester we've mainly devoted our time to marketing, and making gather - or Schedy now- better known. We started this by focusing on creating useful and attractive posts on Instagram. I've had a lot of fun researching and making the contents - it is a topic that we ourselves are interested in too, such as time management, unique tips for productivity, study tips. In fact, it is around the topics that inspired us to create gather in the first place. It is quite unfortunate that the name Gather was taken... we've been on a journey with this name for probably more than a year now, and it fits our purpose perfectly. We are very likely to rename ourselves as 'Schedy'. It is catchy and reminds people of scheduling, but will probably take a little more time for the name to grow on me, hahaha. For our mvp, we have been creating the UIs and testing it in the beginning, but there was a few times that our plan have changed. That is a part of the journey. We still need some more time before the mvp is ready for testing...but our devs are working really hard for it! Finally, I look forward to the day Schedy will come out and see the world. It already have customers waiting for it - us! It has been both a long, and short semester, and we are hopefully one more step closer to our goal.

11/22/2021 0 Comments Week 11-13The last few weeks have been pretty much hectic, Finals for exam and presentation is rapidly approaching.
Which is why gather have been bringing out the contents that are useful for studying and exam such as napping effectively, or memorization techniques. We have been experimenting with time and method to post. The previous burnout content turned out to be pretty popular. We posted them all on Friday to see if the day affected the views, and also test to see if there is a difference in reaction if we don't share. Sharing turn out to be the main way our followers sees us. We are finally approaching 100 followers in IG (yay!). Currently our followers amount to 95. When we reach 100, new insights can be obtained from IG. Gather Rebranding - Since Gather Town have became increasingly popular, our name which have a striking resemblance needed to rebrand. We have decided to keep some element of the old designs and give ours elf a new name! But we and in the process of surveying opinion...Although we are mostly still attached to our old name Gather ;-; 10/25/2021 0 Comments Week 10: StoriesAfter exams comes the break! or the 4 days holiday. Apart from that, our prototype is waiting to be finished. Devs are working hard to fix the few bugs in the current version.
We work on creating a better marketing plan. That starts with marketing analysis. to make up for the first few posts we have not monitored well, we are collecting the insights available on IG and testing on different posting-sharing tactics to maximize our views and impressions. When the prototype is ready, we can finally move on to having content about introducing gather, once we've garnered enough followers! 10/15/2021 0 Comments Week 8-9: New tasks arises!With the suggestion from P'Jay, our group decide to work on some more analysis for the social media content we've been doing and on the future of our business.
Social media is for Platty, Hai is taking the AARRR matrix, Lemon is focusing on more content and overalls and I have a new task: to figure out email marketing for gather! Since we finished the landing page with a link to fill in our google form for interested people, we want to keep those emails and deliver an auto response to show gratitude and also to contact when there is further development for gather, I am trying to work with the add on for google form for that. Hope everything goes well! 10/6/2021 0 Comments Week 6-7: Midterm (Break?)The past two weeks were midterm and revision... though it did feel more like a break (But the same can not be said for our ISE members...). We had a midterm content which were doing quite great!
Nothing much to update on this week! Still making more content and preparing for testing. 9/19/2021 0 Comments Week 5: Progress and pausesThe week leading to midterm is the busiest it will get, since all the work and revision would be due soon. I also means that it's time to include study + exam tips and tricks for Gather content! There had been a little bit of stalling with the content, mainly confusion and I made a new plan format for that...still WIP though. The progress I am talking about is about our Instagram! now we have 63 followers! Hooray!! More post engagement makes the team creating the content really happy!
On the other hand, research for backend for me is still a little dull and slow going... Will probably have more time to do that and test after midterm is done... 9/14/2021 0 Comments Week 4: Research & TestingBackend research is in progress! (Look at tabs like this is so confusing....this is time for the new google chrome hack content: Group tab!!)
We have a special interest in the MERN stack which is the framework for backend programing with Mongodb, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js. So more time for research since backend can come later than the frontend which should be here by the end of this month. Time sure fly fast... it's almost midterm already, so we had to rearrange our content plans. Writing is kind of fun and though my writing skills are not quite there yet...Platty and everyone always make sure that the text me and Hai write is readable and fluent! 9/4/2021 0 Comments Week 3I'm starting to have more fun with the content, guess the first step to make your content interesting is for you yourself to find it interesting first hahaha. These tips on productivity is something I want to give a try myself too! And plans to make content about tips for using google chrome and zoom can be really useful. Did you know you can potentially have a 2d avatar on zoom at home? That was one of the interesting things I found when researching . (Like the example pic below)
Now that our reserve of content is getting bigger, It's time to divert my attention to help other parts as well! Research time for tech too I guess. 8/30/2021 0 Comments Week 2New week = new content!
Time to get more tips and tricks for productivity etc. out to the world! Some times when researching it really feel like this content can first save ourselves ;-;. I'm hoping to get it done and stock pile some so that I can help the team more. 8/28/2021 0 Comments Week 1 (one is just starting out!)In this term we decided to be more active on our social media and in this week I started as the content finding team! So this is my draft research on Burnout (which is for further weeks to come). I wasn't the one to put in this meme but... I really like it hahaha!
