CST 499 - Week 9

 This week our team focused mainly on backend implementation. I got approval to use the BGG API and went through the steps for learning how to securely store and use the bearer token. I ended up modifying our service and interface code to use Firebase Functions instead of our original code design and enabling Google Secret Manager to securely handle the token.

 Our next steps will be to wire up the activities for creating an event, finalizing user registration, and being able to view user profiles/past game nights with the relevant information, while also working on the next version of our design.

 My biggest hurdle this week was unrelated to the work. A close family member passed away and I was having a hard time staying focused while driving back and forth out of town. Another challenge was the Google Secret Manager use, since it required a lot of steps to get it working. At this point, it seems we have been able to manage all challenges that have come our way and we will hopefully be able to catch up to our desired pace this week.
