Day 3 of Dashboard Week was a really fun challenge.
We were given the Ben & Jerry's website and given free reign to make any form of dashboard we wanted! All we had to do was get the data ourselves.
Looking through the website, my first idea was to look at the flavors of the Flavor Graveyard and compare them to the 'Living' flavors to see if there were specific things that Ben & Jerry's kept trying or that were just unpopular...
Unfortunately I had a secondary challenge: I had 4 hours before I needed to pack up and head out for a wedding, while the rest of the DSNY had the full day.
As such, I prioritized getting data as quickly as possible. After an hour of web scraping, I wasn't able to get what I needed for my original idea and had to pivot.
I decided to make something simple I could build on top of over the weekend: an ice cream selector.
The MVP I created for Day 3 allows a user to pick two desirable flavors and one hard no, and provides 3 suggestions matching the criteria.
I have a lot that I want to add to this, namely set actions / a whole flavor select page, and an 'add to set' option for creating an ice cream social for a group.
