Anyways, the setup of BuddyUp was fairly simple. We first downloaded it from the GitHub repo, then added it into the WebIDE. From there, we pretty much were able to launch it right to the device in a few seconds. We even tested asking a question, which worked as well. However, one issue so far is that the app is EXTREMELY laggy. I think it's because it's trying to load all of the questions every single time a character is typed. That, or it's because we're running the app via USB. It'll take a lot of experimentation.

Working with Aki and BuddyUp (2/5)
Today I mainly worked with Aki on setting up BuddyUp. I had originally intended to work on setting up Google Fonts on my app, but after asking the question on IRC, I didn't really get enough help towards that, so I decided to do something else. Edit: I got a lot of help in the last few minutes! I'll attempt a fix tomorrow.

I'm glad you got the help you needed on IRC. It is really important that we are "giving more than we are taking" from this project, which is why I can't stress enough the importance of putting your projects out on github. If we develop a reputation as valued contributors to the project, then we will find the help we need (when we really do need it) will be more forthcoming. The people helping us are busy and we are asking them to give of their very valuable time. We need to make sure we both are respectful of that time and make good use of it when we do need to ask for it.
