Week 2 Update

During this week we started to do preliminary research on how to use Firebase in our application and laid out an idea of what we want our database to do. Essentially all we need our database to do is receive and store information (i.e. name and email) of meeting attendees and then export that data to the meeting host or administrator in a format that can easily be separable (like csv or Excel document).

We have been looking at resources on how to properly register for Firebase and set up our database. The example we are referring to is a live updating group messaging app, and is more complex than we need but should most of the components that we will use in our app. We are going to continue looking at this example and set up a database that can receive data and store it as a first step.
