Project Overview
Our Orbital project is a web-development project titled “DiagNUS”. DiagNUS is a website portal that aims to effectively aggregate the concerns and suggestions of all students in NUS, and channel them through the right medium to be a force for positive change.
What we need mentorship on
-Guidance on building an interactive website that can accommodate the mentioned features (Full Stack Development)
-UI/UX design that is pleasant and engaging for our target audience

Dear Jian Jie,
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!
Our project Plannus aims to bring convenience to NUS students in planning their university curriculum, mainly by allowing students to easily create, view and save possible module plans for their desired university curriculum.
Currently, information on module prerequisites needs to be sourced one by one, and since some modules require several prerequisites, it may be difficult to find the most efficient way to complete the required modules. Moreover, as some modules are not always available (some modules are offered only in semester 1 or only in semester 2), it is tedious to create module plans such that all desired modules are completed without delaying graduation.
Hence, we thought of this idea in order to bring ease to students who are also planning their university curriculum.
As both of us are inexperienced in software engineering, we would like to mainly have advice on designing the app when we run into dead ends, as well as guidance on the integration of the app into NUSMods.

Anything you'd like the mentor to know:
Dear Jian Jie,
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 with React 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!
Looking forward to your reply,
Arthur and Si Ning

We believe our idea has a huge potential to bring positive changes to NUS students' life when implemented, and we aim to implement this project in our hall after orbital.
We are both inexperienced in building an app from scratch, the actual implementation of an app and how to run an app when it's online. We wish to seek your advice in these areas since you are very experienced in software development and more importantly designing an app for NUS students.
Looking forward to your reply,
Angela and Bobby.

5) Hello! My partner and I changed our idea as we wanted to include an AR feature. So we had to retake our Liftoff video. As of right now, we're thinking of either using React, Unity or Vulforia. We're still in the early stages of researching what would be the best way of using implementing our AR features and our search functions. Hope we can receive your guidance on our project. Thank you!

Short write up:
Hi Jian Jie,
Since we last met we have decided to update our project idea.
We intend to create a web application that will be able to aggregate food reviews from various established food review apps. This will allow the user to easily and conveniently access the important information of the restaurants through a single app, enabling them to make the best decision of what food they would like to have.

So sorry for the folks whom I have to turn away, your projects are definitely interesting but I decided to go with teams that has the highest likelihood of turning into a production application with real world usage beyond orbital.
To those teams what I have accepted, please drop me an email to arrange a time to meet ASAP. I will be holding you accountable for making your product a success!
