Notes

Analytics

  • lots of new users

  • 1:5 split of old to new

  • 3.6k in the past month

  • spikes at the starts of the week

Shopping cart

  • Right now it’s just a RHS tab, in the future it should be a whole new page

  • Limitation: Can’t register for courses for them or keep up with not filled sections

    • You can know the sections being taught in the next semester tho

  • How to show all the times?

    • Like schedule planner? With the settings icon

  • Schedule Planner RHS

    • UI

      • Course name & Section Number

      • Need to see time slots of sections

      • Days

      • Location

        • In person / Online

      • Essentially RHS of shopping cart will be schedule planner’s timetable UI

    • Actions

      • Select/Unselect

      • Hover Actions

  • Schedule Planner / Shopping Cart LHS

    • Visually like Dashboard LHS but with bookmarked courses

      • Group by Courses

      • Filters

        • Professors Teaching Next Sem

        • Instruction Mode

        • Professor

        • Class Time/Day

      • Add Sections to Schedule (RHS)

        • Debate

          • Inside the Card keep sections

          • See all sections you can take for a course (like scheduleplanner)

            • Group is leaning towards this

            • Could be a separate page OR could be somewhere on LHS/RHS

            • Separate page with all sections, group by professors

 Decisions

  • Essentially RHS of shopping cart will be schedule planner’s timetable UI

  • LHS will be like dashboard, with a few changes

    • Still debating

 Action items

Designers please make Figma mockups for the different ways we can make the shopping cart / scheduling page
Basic layout is an LHS-RHS, maybe a 1:2 split instead of a 1:1 split
Engineers should get their issues in by now
Mainly @Abhiram Tadepalli merge in PR’s and release to main
Engineers finish your new issues by next Tuesday
Especially SEO ASAP

 

🧠 Reflection

  • As Spring registrations are getting underway, we are wrapping up the 2.0 launch of Trends and starting to pivot to new features.

  • Lots of organic user growth

    • Still need to reach different demographics of UTD

  • Love the commitment from the ~10 people that always show up. Keep it up!

  • We have a lot of momentum and willingness to work. I’m the bottleneck because my response time and follow-up time during the week is slow. Also I’m taking too long to merge PR’s which is demotivating for people who worked hard on the issue.

  • Excited for a steady evolution of Trends with expanded functionality and more datapoints

    • I do want us to refocus on the initial impetus for Trends alongside our current plans.
