One of the things I found interesting about the LibreFoodPantry’s page was their mission. I found it amazing reading about how they are both helping aspiring computer science individuals while also supporting food pantries with free software to help run the organization. The opportunity to have a community like this available to individuals who want to learn more about computer science is helpful to promote strong networks between individuals and create a support group for individuals who need more advanced help when they become stuck on a topic. In regards to Thea’s Food Pantry, I found the User Stories page to be quite interesting and helpful. Being able to see how the program works, and how a user would navigate through the program helps with the software designer working on the software be able to see the perspective from the user’s point of view, and encourages their thought process to create more features that would help the user. If an individual who was new to computer science and was reading the User Stories page, they would be able to compare what is happening within the user stories and compare that to the code, and be able to see how code can produce different features.
