Team outing & field experiment at Internef

By Kevin Sin April 21, 2018 Discover Flowlin project

Dear CHIC community,

We have the pleasure to announce you that on 17th of April 2018, we conducted our first public survey at the Internef building!

We contacted the libraries in our respectives universities and asked them if we could borrow the precious time of their student for our survey!

So far, our Team has developed a script for mac OS users and a Google extension for the Chrome web browser that restrict the users access to a list of predefined websites. This helped us to test on the field what people would think of the most important feature of our product! We received a lot of feedback and new ideas, however now we need to process it and share the results with all the team members during the next meeting.

It was a really interesting experience: For the first time we had to explain quickly to people our project idea and convince them in a short time to test our software with their own computer. It went very well, however sometimes we felt a little guilty, because we were almost hacking people’s computer.

As we have been working together for a long time now, Axel suggested doing a team outing at the Cully Festival last weekend, this has gone well and it is a good predictor for our joint trip to China this summer.

Speaking of summer, it is approaching more and more. And that means that we have less and less time to finalize our first prototype and fix our indecisions. Indeed we are presently at two weeks from the next milestone and six weeks from the end of the university semester. And other deadlines are coming, especially the exams …

Stay tuned!
