Whats Next?
As mentioned, we will begin development on the profile page! Since views are reusable this development will span into your profile and other’s profile. This view is arguably the second most important view of this app and will consume our time while we meticulously add features, find bugs, fix bugs and consider user feedback for this page. That being said, we are extremely satisfied with the progress we made with the events view and will continue testing internally and externally.
We look forward to seeing your sprint 9!
