What Will I Learn?

Detailed and Step by step process on making a suggestion for Utopian.io.

• You will learn how to make your own suggestion in utopian-io.
• You will learn how to choose the application to make suggestions on it.
• You will learn how to choose the right repository for the application.

Requirements

• You will need the application where you want to make suggestions.
  How to choose the right applicationto make a suggestion/s:

1. It must be open source(see in the description of the application if there is a github link in the google play store)
   
   
   
2. Check if the repository is not later than 1 one year since the last update of the author of the application.
   Copy the github link and paste in your browser and see the list of updates made by the author.
   
   
   
   So as you can see, for this application the latest commit made by the author was just 3 months ago.
3. What can you suggest for this application(as you use the application, you can easily spot some lacking features for a certain application). See here a sample of a suggestion.

Difficulty

Either choose between the following options:

• Intermediate

SUGGESTION #1:
I would like to suggest that this application that should enable the user to add new shapes to be animated.

SUGGESTION #2:
I would suggest that this application should have an option to zoom in/zoom out the shapes so that the user can clearly see the shapes.

Benefits

Write here the benefits the components/parts/sections of the software will gain once your proposal will be implemented and problems it will solve. As you were using the application, when you do have your suggestions, you must also have the benefits of having the suggestion you want:

Here are the examples of the benefits I have written for the application where I made the suggestions:

SUGGESTION #1:
This would allow the user to customize the the shapes on this application and allows that user to add his desired shapes for animation.

SUGGESTION #2:
This would allow the user to zoom in/zoom out the shapes on the screen so that the user will clearly see the shapes and resize sa shape on the desired size
