8. Critiques: Our Site What did we do well? • Organization of the information on the individual pages • Implementation of page using other group’s API What did we learn? • Many tools: Flask, JavaScript, AngularJS, MySQL and SQLAlchemy, Bootstrap, Docker, Carina • Interesting facts about countries What can we do better? • Make the site look better • Page loading speed • Directly use the database or a json file instead of making API calls What puzzles us? • Carina / Docker • API Failures
9. Critiques: SWEwars What did they do well? • Site design and layout • Intro Animation What did we learn from their website? • JavaScript Animations • Awesome Star Wars facts What can they do better? • Sort table columns by number if they contain numerical data • Search results should be better contextualized What puzzles us about their website? • Site introduction plays on every refresh of the page, regardless of what page you are on • Refreshing on a specific page for a person, planet, or species causes a 404 error, and they cannot be directly linked to either
