Mello

Mello is a platform for Mentors and Mentees to meet and organize their goals and tasks together. This was my scrum team's final project in our capstone class, and it was our most advanced and polished web app.

About the Stack

The big improvements I made to my stack during this project were express.js, tailwind, and mySQL. Although this wasn't my first time using these technologies, I feel like I made vast improvements and was able to get a deep understanding of them.

Teamwork

Our team used scrum methodology during this project to organize our tasks, ideas, and projects. It was nice having a rigid system like scrum because it fostered communication and hard work throughout the team.

Backend

For the back end of this project I needed to implement an authentication and account system that would allow for a mentor and mentee to share their own workspace. I accomplished this mostly through some mySQL magic with accounts and tasks having a workspace as their secondary key (I would just show my relational diagrams but I lost them) . This allows both mentor and mentee to see the same things in their workspace. This was a fun part of the project and it allowed me to dive back into relational databases.
