Prototype

We created a prototype which will serve as our guide when creating Grit. The prototype will be revised overtime since we will be taking into account comments and suggestions of survey respondents and experts. A download link will be available once a working program is made.

Initial Prototype (v0.0.1)

MockUp1 This is the first prototype ( See Figure above ) made before consulting comments and suggestions from survey respondents and experts. It can be observed that the current prototype is similar to Github Desktop however, there are six features that we will be highlighting.

  1. Version-Control Module - Similar to GitHub desktop, Grit will be able to execute git commands.
  2. Virtual Assistant - will serve as a guide for users in executing git commands and its function.
  3. Command-Line with Predictive Text - will allow users to call git commands with predictive text.
  4. Coachmarks - will enable first time users to navigate through the software easily by giving guides.
  5. Practice with Codeblocks - will help user practice and understand the basic git commands.
  6. Coachmarks - An online mentoring tool that will allow novices to find a mentor. Since this is an online mentoring tool and will be in real time, this feature will only be accessible online.
