Trying to track cars is my hobby. There are always edge cases, and how are you planning to attack them? Because I spent so much time, especially working with other people, getting this data, and trying to figure this out, I became very adept at understanding the data. The dealers, collectors especially, were trying to understand the whole story, so they would come to me. But the way I had to do it was spreadsheets all over the place, and I was trying to find a solution to keep it all in one spot. I couldn\u2019t find a way to do it, so I said, \u201cWell, I\u2019ll build it.\u201d And then I got into I2P.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat was challenging about building your prototype over the semester?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERose:\u003C\/strong\u003E This semester, it was mainly trying to come up with the schema and how to physically account for the edge cases. It\u2019s not easy; it took a lot of deep thought, discussions with other people who are into these niche cars, and understanding what details we needed. I\u2019m still trying to add more things and figure it out. It\u2019s not perfect, but it\u2019s enough.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat was your favorite part about I2P?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERose:\u003C\/strong\u003E Adding features that I was looking for.
