The purpose of this project is to create a Google Now style feed. Every item in the feed is a card. The user can scroll through the feed of cards or interact with cards.

You application should have the following properites:

Does not crash. Does not hang - that is, there should be little to no delay visible to the user. Does not fail when internet connection is slow/unavailable. Have a consistent look and feel visually across the app. Have consistent coding style across the source. Have well-organized code that makes it easy to add new features. Either be locked to one orientation or look great in both landscape and portrait. Remember to use the software engineering practices we've developed this unit! Work on different branches for different features. Code review each other. Design APIs together. You can do it!

Must have a todo list feature that stores/retrieves a file locally. Must have at least n of the following features, where n is the number of people in your team: Weather card, customized to user's location (can use zip code, GPS, etc) Stock Market card, customized to list of user's favorite stocks Horoscope card, customized to user's sign Sports card, customized to teams user follows Calendar card, which pulls upcoming events from a calendar Maps card, saved maps or can show directions to home/work Music card, using new Billboard data Alarm card, a card to set alarm and that displays upcoming alarms Trending card, using the Twitter trends or similar feed Must include at least one notifications feature.
