Project Scope: Pomodoro Timer App
The team unanimously agreed to build a Pomodoro Timer web app for the course project. Core features scoped for Sprint 1:
- Basic 25/5 minute work-break timer
- Start, pause, and reset controls
- Session counter
- Desktop notifications (stretch goal)
GitHub Repository Setup
Evan walked the team through the GitHub org (cse110-sp26-group10) and
branch protection rules. All members now have write access.
Branch Strategy Notes (click to expand)
We will follow a feature branch workflow. All work goes into
feature branches and must be reviewed by at least one other team member
before merging into main. Direct pushes to main are
disabled via branch protection rules.
- Naming convention:
feature/short-description - PRs require passing CI checks before merge
- Squash merging preferred for clean history
Task Assignments
Tasks were assigned as follows for Sprint 1 (due April 24):
- Evan + Nicole — Sprint planning, task tracking, TA liaison
- Prakhar + Kaley + Ben + Bethany — UI architecture and frontend implementation
- Aron + Jensen + Xuanye + Han — API, data layer, and backend logic
- Hudson — Data modeling and integration
Next Meeting
Scheduled for April 17, 2026 at 6:00 PM via Zoom. Agenda will include Sprint 1 progress check-in and blockers.
