We are proud that we didn't give up despite the little progress we were making, and we managed to learn the basic fundamentals of android app making

What we learned

Figuring out how to properly implement the QR Scanning mode, while minor, helped with

What's next for ScanCode

We will try to improve and learn from ScanCode to better improve our app making skills
