Hello!

So it looks like I will be mostly working on the react native part of the application my team is working on. This is not to intimidating as I have worked with react quite a bit in the past. The landing page I set up this week did not cause me too much trouble, though I did need to learn about some new react native components and techniques.

The main challenge I encountered thus far with react native was dealing with the keyboard. Because the keyboard takes up half the phone screen, and because android attempts to keep the input in the users view, trouble can occur. Especially if you have the input at the bottom of the page like I did in my landing page. I was able to get around this issue, by modifying the spacing around my landing page components. The result when the keyboard appears is not too bad now. I will have to keep this issue in mind in the future though.

To conclude, this week I was able to begin the react native portion of our team assignment. I was successful in setting up the projects basic components, and was able to complete the project landing page. The project has been similar to previous react projects I have worked on, with some small differences. Overall, I have not had too much trouble thus far.

See you next time!
