Hi Mr Song,
As mentioned above, we are planning to develop a mobile app to encourage sustainable lifestyle among users. The features include basic navigation, tracking user actions, viewing collective results and relevant knowledge, and sharing on social platforms.
We would like to seek some guidance regarding one or more of the following topics:
Front-end: iOS app development, UI/UX
Back-end: data visualisation, database management (cloud), game development (for engaging and interactive design)
We would also appreciate it if you could kindly provide suggestions and advice for other areas of development related to our project. Thank you very much.

Anything you'd like the mentor to know:
Dear Gordon,
Our group was looking to create an outlook application targeted at email marketeers that would be able to help users sort through automatic replies and parse useful information from them. Oftentimes, marketing campaigns result in thousands of bounced emails/automatic replies with useful information, such as the contact information of other people in the same organisation or a notice that someone is leaving his/her company and is being replaced.
Though this information would be valuable to most marketing teams, parsing through thousands of emails manually is extremely slow and tedious work, so we hoped to build an application to fill this gap. At present, we were looking to make use of natural language processing libraries available for python to accomplish this, whilst using react to build the actual application.
Both of us are fairly new to software development in general and were hoping to draw on your experience with APIs in terms of the actual execution of our project. Do let us know if you would be interested to hear more about the project/would consider mentoring us and we hope to hear from you soon. Thank you!

Dear Gordon,
Our group is called Team Macchiato. Our idea is called Giftwrap, it is a wishlist app that aims to eliminate the uncertainty that comes with buying gifts during special occasions. We wanted to implement this by having an app extension that allows users to add items to their wishlist from any app with a share sheet. Their friends are also able to see the wishlist and know what they want for a gift on the accompanying native app. We wanted to tie this app and app extension combo to Facebook to leverage on its large user base. This is the core functionality for the app and subsequently if we can do more we were thinking of implementing features like a calendar view and gift idea recorder. We plan on implementing such an idea using React Native to create a native app as well as the app extension.
We are both new to software development and would like to draw on your expertise to help us with the execution of the app as well as seek your advice in iterating our idea as we embark on this journey. Thank you!

Project:
We plan to design a game, SoCiety, set in the campus of SoC in order to create a unique and fun way to introduce and integrate freshmen into SoC. We will be using Unity to design the environment of the game and we would like to seek some guidance regarding the backend developments for the game such as a leaderboard and multiplayer functionalities.
