This is a guide to reeling in your project’s scope.

Often, Oasis projects start as big dreams, but by halfway through you realize you aren’t as far along as you had hoped. This isn’t something to stress about, it’s just something to work from.

A “Typical” Oasis project tends to have a roadmap that looks like this:

• [ ] Learn JS from scratch
• [ ] Build React frontend
• [ ] Add some really sick animations
• [ ] Database using Firebase
• [ ] Use Machine Learning to make recommendations to users
• [ ] Launch rocket to space
• [ ] Change the world forever

• [x] Learn JS from scratch
• [x] Build React frontend
• [ ] Add some really sick animations
