Discussion Points

Action Points

Reday

• make 'load session' working;
• send a message when user logged in instead of using local storage;
• change 'create new session' button to a text field, so user can enter the name of a session there.
• In the 'create new session' text field, automatically generate a new session name, such as date-time, that is different every time.
• Make a list of all the saved sessions so user can select one (instead of drop-down list).
• Stop user from creating a new session with a session name that already exists.

Shaz

• update the 'add new user' API function so it returns a message if the user already exists in the database.
• get t-test, anova, and other tests running in R.

Next week

• Check what information is accessible with API functions that does not require a API key.
