git (version control system) user profile mapbox version control django (web framework) web platforms user interface (ui) designOur current web platform is a networking app developed using the Django web framework that allows our members to gain exposure and get connected. We are interested in improving our platform by applying the current front-end basic search to all template pages in the platform, optimizing Mapbox user location map integration, and applying minor upgrades to explore and analytics app models.
We would like students to focus on:
- Leveraging existing Django models to provide an optimized response to project requirements.
- Selecting the best technologies and solutions for applying basic front-end search.
The final deliverables should take the form of a final report and presentation including:
- Improving front-end basic search efficiency in terms of finding ‘name’, ‘category’, ‘ID’, and ‘location’ attribute from the user profile model.
- Applying front-end basic search to all required template pages.
- Optimizing Mapbox integration for displaying user locations in terms of load time.
- Improving existing Django explore and analytics models and linking them to existing user interface design based on object attributes to match user profiles with the required user interface.
- Explaining the reasoning behind technologies chosen for the search feature and using Mapbox API.
- Providing documentation regarding any interactions with the app.
- Delivering source code for the developments in the form of a Git source control system.
Students will connect with the company development team for mentorship throughout the development.
