* what worked well
  * we made progress on the sign in and sign up pages
  * created a three paneled IDE with JS, CSS, and HTML and an output window for web development compatibility 
  * added input bars to get code with text input instead of voice 
  * reworked the backend and removed voice to code logic and replaced with text to code
  * created a loading state for when the code is being generated so the user knows that the process is working (based on feedback from Technigala 1)
  * looked into model tuning to make code output better
  * general updates to the UI, and populating code into the appropriate editor
  * added post and put CRUD operations in order to save and update coding projects for a dummy user
  * Added some end-to-end functionality! Started connecting frontend to our database with a 'Save Code' button for saving code to a 'project' entity and added capability for updating projects
  * Annie made her first real frontend changes :D
  * Will and Melissa started implementing their awesome designs, starting with the IDE

* what didn't
  * run button doesn't work, yet.
  * Projects or posts in database aren't added to user entities yet because we haven't finalized user stuff on frontend
  * Still some inconsistency with the Codex code AI models-working on ironing this out
      * We found that the text model worked better than the codex code model which was confusing: we found that the codex model inserted a lot of extra characters (like '+')
      * the playground works perfectly, but our API does not work nearly as well

* self assessment on progress
  * where are you in relation to progress towards product and milestones?
      * we are making good progress towards our weekly goals

    *    Are we doing password reset?
            *    not doing forget password for now
    *   Are we going to combine redux states for the different code types?
        *   Annie is working on this. We are going to combine all 3 code strings in redux and the project id
    *   where is light and dark mode going?
        *   in user
    *   be able to input a web coding prompt without a language specified and split the output into different fields?
        *   need to see if its possible to give code context to codex calls
