GR4: Computer Prototype

Platform and software requirements:

Use Chrome. Tested both on Mac and Windows, works on both.

Startup instructions:

There are two versions of our software, a babysitter version and a parent version.

The babysitter version is at http://mit.edu/jaysonl/Public/sitterPlan/babysitter_jobs_list.html

The parent version is at http://mit.edu/jaysonl/Public/sitterPlan/parent_main_page.html

What should work:

As a babysitter, you should be able to edit your schedule and apply for a job.

As a parent, you should be able to create and post a job.

Interfaces for contact management, viewing / editing an already-posted job (as a parent), and viewing / editing a job you've already applied for or been accepted to (as a babysitter) are not implemented.

Feedback from presentation

Some text on the job display calendar is hard to read - choose colors with more contrast

It would be nice if you could see when you're free within jobs

Ideas for overlapping jobs: paint half the box, intensity of color can indicate how many jobs are at that time

Add key/legend to job display calendar

Add more distinguishing names for jobs (Names for jobs will actually be selected by the parents)

On the contact page - should you search by username or actual name? If username, you should also display usernames on the contact page
