so i got elected as the interim vice president for shared governance at the undergraduate student senate. i really am hoping to do some good work with the current cabinet, before everyone leaves for their own lives. so, i thought when i was a senator for the uss, i really hated the shared governance tracker that we had in place. so i thought to build a new one.
so i booted cursor up, started up a new github repo and just start prompting some random thoughts. i started with a database for all the accounts, meetings and dates. i then made an admin control center that we as the cabinet can use to keep track of who has gone to which meeting. i then made an adjustment to senator side where they could check off if they had attended a shared governance meeting, and also added a section for notes for the meeting.
i then showed it to the president and she suggested a calendar. then it hit me. yes, of course. how could i be so dumb. i immediately added a calendar and then added the meetings to the calendar as reminders. when a senator or cabinet member would click on the reminder, they would be redirected to the governance page of that particular commission or committee. i think i have progressed it well for now, but a lot more work to do.
i think we can start brute testing it, so i will suggest it at the next cabinet meeting. also showed it to another vice president. he loved it, and if he loved it, thats a great sign. hopefully this works out. i will keep you updated.
so, i realized that my stupid ass did not add a database to store the responses from senators, and i expected for the responses to be saved to every computer by just a local storage system. i really can be shallow sometimes. after my realization, i connected the js file that i had to a firebase api and firestore database to store the responses and reflect the same on the website accordingly.
hopefully there are not anymore stupid mistakes that i made.
ask.
