project-workcomms created by GitHub Classroom.

Our application allows Companies to register their Name, License# and location.

An employer may register at a workplace location and create employee accounts and create groups for them.

Employers will be able to make posts that all groups will see and employees will be able to make posts only their assigned group may see.

WorkComms post have live updating and will automatically update it's recycler view whenever a user makes a post.

What we implmeneted

• We implemented user authentication for Firebase Auth.
• Companies can register their company and duplicate Name and location may not be created!
• Employers will be able to register under an existing registered company.
• Employers will be able to register employees and groups under their company.
• Employers can make posts that all employees under their company will see.
• Employees can only view Employers posts and create posts to their assigned group within a company.
• Live Recycler view updating whenever a post is made by a group or employer announcment.

What we could not implement as planned

• Security features to ensure Employers are from a company. As of right now, anyone can register as an Employer of a company!
• Validation for when a company is registered that it's business license is valid.
• Post deletions/hiding for posts made.
• Users ability to upload their account pictures.
• Post filtering
• Displaying time stamp of each post.
• Facebook "Like" feature
