SoundScout Critiques • Learned about ◦ Overall software workflow ◦ Using Postman for API testing ◦ Connecting React with Flask ◦ Setting up and querying a database • Done well ◦ Comprehensive sorting ◦ User interface is easy to navigate and understand • Needs improvement: ◦ More information about genres ◦ Connectivity between instances • Still confused: customizing React components

Group 14 Critiques • Learned about ◦ StreamingAvailability.me APIs • Done well ◦ All instances connect to other pages ◦ Clean and intuitive user interface ◦ Filtering by service • Needs improvement ◦ Searches don’t need exact case matching ◦ Connecting instances (e.g. clicking on a movie in an actor’s profile leads to search results and not that specific movie) • Still confused: differing Gitlab statistics
