* what worked well
    * Wired up most of the shopping list page and finished the basic UI components (got the list to sort and items to actually go back to their original places when unmarked as completed!)
        * Additionally, worked out some backend structure for moving some processing from frontend to backend (Madison's writing Max a route to select all of the completed items and make instances out of them for the confirmation page).
        * Also we figured out a bug in the backend code that was preventing things from being deleted.
    * UI portion of item confirmation is finished (and it's animated!!!), so we can now wire it.
    * Mike and Stephen made a ton of progress in writing the instance processing logic and refactoring the code. We're almost there wooooo
* what didn't
    * Alexa word parsing is still proving to be a challenge. 
        * As a result, item confirmation hasn't been wired at all. 
        * There's a few problems regarding some cases, where it's recognizing nouns that support the primary item (*chocolate* in chocolate granola bars) as units. We need to find a rule to fix this.
    * We didn't do show and tell :( (or at least not all of us)
    * Some of our boys had a bunch of deep learning work this week and then Winter Carnival took a bite of our work time.
* self assessment on progress
    * where are you in relation to progress towards final product? 
      * We need to push the Alexa code and wire it with the confirmation pages.
      * Testing our new features; improving on old ones.
      * I (Mike) need to figure out intents and start making the actual skill more polished and comprehensive.
      * The voice portion is behind in the whole flow for voice (The back-and-forth between the user and Alexa). The real difficult part of parsing is almost finished however, while the latter is much more about working it out.
    * lay out *each* of the following weeks till end of term with brief goals for each
      * current week: Finish wiring shopping list page. Push Alexa code so we can start working with it for shopping list and item confirmation. Polish and complete the Alexa skill.
      * week #7: Testing and polishing!
      * week #8: Preparing for demos!
