My process

I used NextJS with a mobile first approach. First thing was breaking down the page into components, then I focused on layout and responsiveness to start before moving on to styling.

Built with

• Tailwind
• Mobile-first workflow
• React - JS library
• Next.js - React framework

What I learned

This project taught me a lot about TypeScript and React. I learned how to better approach components, use contexts, create custom types, and improved my CSS.

Continued development

I want to continue to learn how to create scalable applications with React. Contexts made this project so much easier so I want to improve my usage of them.

CSS is always something that I want to continue to practice so I avoid adding useless styles and can make my components as simple as possible.

Useful resources

• Tailwind - They have great docs and it makes it very easy to pick up.
