Hi Friends!

📊 Daily Stand-Up: Yesterday as the Lead Engineer, we added the changing the app background feature. It started with a simple idea: the user may want to customize the app background and they should be able to do so; However, while there were good libraries around this, see the resources below, the feature wasn’t well thought out on our part.  What if the user wants to reset to the original background?
What if the user wants to crop the photo used for the background? In testing we found this was almost a necessary add.

We didn’t look at this feature from the users point of view via use cases as we should have while in our Product Manager role.

In any case we powered through adding our change the background feature, the crop and reset features.

Today: Testing everything from front to back, enable ads, any clean up.
