hey how's it going Spencer here this I'm
here with jasmine he was here to show
off her Gossip Girl app right here so
what was the inspiration behind your app
it came to me in a dream actually I woke
up one morning and I was like I have to
do it it's based off of the TV show
Gossip Girl which is kind of old but um
yeah it does the same functionality this
is what it does in the TV show got you
so do you mind let's do a little demo
Beverly quickly yeah so what I'm gonna
do
you want to make a new account for
yourself sure okay so I'm gonna take
your picture
okay and what we can do is we can sign
up for your own account so weird lean
back I'm not sure but I'll go with it
all right good yeah and then we can what
do you want your username to be let's do
s LUT sweet
let's go with that all right and your
email let's just do your test that test
com why not okay that's good
old-fashioned web developer testing
right there and then your password asdf
all the way asdf yeah what you got it
already
oh oh oh all righty maybe it doesn't
like my NCS do I need to put something
more yeah I think so
I'll make password yeah I made an
account so what you can do is you can
make your own post okay so what do you
want to thanks um hello from the cs50
fair hello from the cs50 fair let's go
with that and so I can post that and I
can see your new post and it'll be right
there with your little profile picture
school yes and so the other feature of
this app is that there's a map feature
and I already gave it permission to view
you and that is where we are right now
and as in the classic Gossip Girl app if
you spot Serena van der what's in the
main character you can say that you've
seen her and then it automatically makes
a new post that says that you've seen
her at those of that exact coordinates
at those exact coordinates and what's
really nice is that on the simulator it
keeps updated with the same database so
it also has the same fun was there any
like complexity that was surprising when
you were integrating this backend and
like making that live updating I wanted
to pull my hair out try to figure out
how to use firebase firebase is like the
new it's like Google's API and you can
store all the posts on there all the
profile pictures which is really hard
because all the posts and all their
content can be stored in a database but
when it comes to profile pictures you
can't store that
because it's more like photo data and
you don't want to like put that much in
a database so I had to use storage
instead and trying to figure out how to
use that was really confusing yeah cool
stuff cool stuff so what inspired also
to do an iOS what drew you into an app
yeah I felt like everyone was gonna do
web so I just wanted to do something
special and I felt like you know in the
future I may might I might make another
iOS app again so awesome I feel like
it'd be good to keep those skills and
use it for something else
that's real good it's always cool dafair
because people are able to kind of
stretch what they know and what they're
able to do yeah and sort of like play
around with new technologies it's cool
to see that
