Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):
- Right now everytime the user restart the app require to download all the data again, how would we store the data in local so that they don't need to download the same data again and again?
- Is there anyway the table, poster, and detail view share the same data instead of just passing the link?
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:
Walkthrough recorded by QuickTime Player.
- Most of the develop time spent on waiting for compile.
- Right now the table view and the collection view are not sharing data.
