The State Changers meeting primarily revolved around the discussion about devising a system to manage tasks related to a wedding timeline. They were attempting to create a client month countdown that maps task dates onto a twelve-month calendar leading up to the wedding. The goal is to dynamically calculate due dates based on the client's individual wedding date.
Initial confusion emerged around whether a multiplication factor was needed for this calculation. After detailed discussion, it was agreed that the problem could be simplified to a subtraction operation. The time between the wedding date and the current date would be the key to determine when each task should be due. The platform they were using for this system is Xano, specifically the time stamp transformation feature. Towards the end of their meeting, they acknowledged that working with dates can be complex, but took this as part of the challenge. They concluded with a validation that the task at hand is manageable using a subtraction approach, instead of a more complicated multiplication method.
