Job Tracker (React/Node.js)

Objectives

• Build a job tracker app to keep track jobs I have applied to.
• Rebuild the app in other languages to learn and strength my understanding of other languages

This version rebuilds the project - Reworks Django to user REST API and uses React for frontend.

I reworked the project once and switched to Node.js for backend (while modifying frontend to integrate bettwe with the new backend).

Refer to Plan for detailed implementation plan of the project. You are also welcome to checkout lessons for a list of things (including mistakes) I learned from implementing the project.
