WEDNESDAY UPDATE: Our project has been selected by the class! In addition, Tony is joining our team! For Thursday, we need to send an email to the teaching staff on our initial project proposal.
Email we sent to the teaching staff:

- - raw background → invisible sync that would happen automatically
- - wifi hotspot aspect
- - locality → hidden gems that would be missed when traveling
- - more than just a trip planner

- - navigation aspect - especially in offline case - might be too difficult
- - use some pre-existing API's or plugins in Android
- - ***[1]*** figure out which tech pieces we need (vertical analysis)
- - minimal functioning prototype
- - ***[2]*** figure out what other points to leverage (interactive points)
- - Schedule
- - present milestones in class (Tuesday)
- - submit written copy (Wednesday)
- - ***[3]*** New name? Ideas?
- - Serendipity
- - Wanderer
- - Narrow range
- - do app for Seattle/or something similar where there are a lot of data points

- - think about range
- - distance vs. interest
- - from Seattle Downtown to how far public transport reaches
