Platform and Software Requirements

When using this iteration of ForwardStrides in a desktop browser, use Firefox on a Mac. (It will run on other combinations as well, but just in case we suggest restricting use to Firefox on Mac because that is primarily what we tested and designed for.)

According to the GR4 assignment write-up, "The MIT New Media Center in 26-139 has public Macs".

Starting Up the Prototype

The app is intended as a mobile app, most likely for a tablet, so when being viewed in a desktop browser, it is necessary (in order for the display/layout to make the most sense) for the browser window to be re-sized (drag the bottom right corner) horizontally such that the 5-item menu on the bottom spans the window horizontally (this will be 768px across, like a tablet being held portrait). Use as much of the vertical dimension of the screen as possible (a standard tablet would have 1024px in the vertical dimension, holding it portrait).
