Today, I discovered many cool options that app machine provides. I realized that the facilities that I have utilized until now are very limited and makes the app look very regular and boring. But, today I discovered new things that will definitely spice up my app more and make it look more professional. I am happy that I tried and experimented the various options since they will definitely contribute to the betterment of my app.
The first change that I made was the introduction page. The introduction page was an information page on its own. This meant that it would require the user to click on the page in order to read the content. This would provide them with an 'option'. This is a disadvantage because the introduction page includes a lot of important messages which will educate the reader about the importance of recycling and this is the main goal of this project. The drawback about this is that the user can either choose to read the information or just skip it. But the new thing that I added makes it pop up, first thing, when someone opens the app. The information page opens as soon as the app itself is opened and this somehow makes the user to read the information at least a little bit. Then the user has an option of exiting that page and resuming to the main page where there are many sub-menus according to the material being recycled. I really like this feature because it helps me attain my goal to a very great extent and also gives my app an advanced and a professional look.
The second change that I made was the most major change because it was involved the main page of the app which was the page which has all the information and the various DIY activities for each type of material. Initially, it was just one page with all the information cramped up. Actually, in my last entry, I had mentioned that the page that talks about the material being recycled and the different DIY activities, looks very congested. Today, I found a solution to that problem. There was a block that said products. When I tried it, I realized that it was the perfect solution to my problem. This block divided the page into categories and when one clicks on the particular category, then it will take them to another page, where that particular thing is discussed in more detail. This makes my app much more organized and more appealing. A few days ago, I had made a page for plastic where I had talked about the material and the different DIY activities. Today, I had to remake the page in the new format that I had discovered. It was not that difficult because almost all the information was already in the other page, and I could keep referring to it. I also made another page which discussed the various DIY projects that you can do using newspapers. I also had to do little bit of research for this. But I managed to finish this page too. Today was an extremely productive day and I am happy with my progress. I am 3/4 done with my app as tomorrow, I only have to make a page for another material and the conclusion page. Then I am done with my app and is officially ready for publishing. The screenshots below show the work I did today and my overall progress:
This is the block that I had used in order for introduction page to pop up, as soon as one opens the app.
This is how the introduction page now looks after I used the new block that I discovered.
This is how the page will look. It is very evident that it looks much more easy to follow and organized.
this is how the page looks after I added all the 5 DIY projects that one can do using plastic. When the user clicks on one of the activities, they will be taken to another page where the activity will be explained properly and with images.
this was the second page that I made following the same format as the previous one

This was the process of making the page for plastic material. It was pretty simple and straightforward, apart from some minor challenges that I faced here and there.
This is how the page will look. It is very evident that it looks much more easy to follow and organized.
