What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

• My proficiency in tailwind CSS is improving

• Learning how to add an event to a button and assigning an action to another element when the button is clicked was interesting

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

• Using the Tailwind CLI on my static webpage was hectic because of inconsistent compilations. I should use the CDN for static web pages and the CLI for frameworks

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

• I'm proud that I've completed this project in a short period. I'm getting used to tailwind CSS
• I've learned to use Chart js to create dynamic and static web graphs
• It wasn't necessary but I calculated the expenses as a way to test myself
• I used a parent and child component in the project. I shared the total expense sum data from my child's component to my parent's component. This helped me learn about "lifting the state up"

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

• Understanding the chart js documentation on specifics like hiding labels & grid lines, and resizing tooltips wasn't straightforward but chatGPT helped me get what I needed
• I was confused about sharing data from a child component to a parent component but through research, I understood the concept

I am proud of completing this project in 2 days. That shows my growth in understanding React and Tailwind CSS

Also using Axios to fetch the API wasn't as hard as I thought

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Learning Axios was tricky but I solved it using a simple YouTube tutorial and chatGPT

I was uncertain about how I'd call the API but it was simple since the data was in an object and not an array

This is my first official project using Tailwind CSS. I was hesitant at first but it's an interesting framework that I'm willing to try again. Using Next JS was interesting too.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Incorporating some JS functions in the Next JS project was hectic but chatGPT helped me out. Sadly Tailwind CSS doesn't come with some extra JS (like Bootstrap) so I had to use states and refs for some JS functionalities. Learning Tailwind was tricky at first too.

I solved the React bit quite fast. Also, coding the design was interesting

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

My main challenge was vertically centring the main container. I overcame this by using the CSS min() property. Firstly, I used clamp() but switched to min().

Also, loading my images in my live link was hectic but I moved them from my src folder to my public/assets folder so that they could be served without any processing.

Lastly, updating my changes to my live site was tricky but I found a quick way to do so.
