This week I finished the news section of the app. I made a menu out of the previous news page that would condense the school newspaper and school news into one menu that led to those individual pages, thus getting rid of one of the icons in the home menu. This was necessary due to my inability to draw a good icon in MS Paint that represented the school newspaper and because there would be far too many icons if each section of the app had its own on the home page. The school news section is now branched off from the overall news menu, which shows all of the titles of news stories. These titles are all buttons that lead to the full news story. I worked a lot on formatting the stories so that new paragraphs were recognized by the HTML, meaning I had to make a new <p> tag every time a "\n" escape sequence was found in the string of the story. I also worked on some formatting of all of the pages, like the background color and the appearance of tables used to display the different scraped information. Next, I will look at making a place for all of my colleague's code to go. The mapping algorithm will need its own icon and page, so I will make that next week as well as looking into alerts for school closings. Another member of Byte Club had previously made a short program that would allow the superintendent of the school to add entries to our database when a 2 hour delay, early dismissal, or closing occurred. So, I will work on gathering this information from the database, alerting the user, and adding a page to display all of those notifications.
