During term 1, we spent most of our time researching through various tech stacks. After choosing Swift, a language both of us have never tried before, learning Swift took priority.

We have currently built a good foundation for all UI Controllers with Swift and we believe extending them will be much more efficient compared to our progress in Term 1.

During term 1, Yinrui has been really busy with student union issues such that the contributing percentage might be rather lower then his teammate, if we have to evaluate and split our contributions to the project.

However, from team lead's perspective, we are first and foremost a team. We believe Yinrui will certainly take up more responsibility in Term 2.
