Wow, you have a natural talent for design, did you come up with the design by yourself? It looks very nice.
I really like how you used colors to change the perspective of the whole splitter calculator

@henryapm Thanks, yes. But web designers have really low salaries in South Africa, so it's absolutely useless direction of development.

Hey @SvitlanaSuslenkova I feel like they have low salary anywhere, so you designed the whole thing then?
how did you find inspirations to create this piece that look so well put together?
I want to learn how to design better but I feel like I don't have the required talent to do it, what advice can you give me in this matter?

@henryapm oh, I'm not sure, half of my family have a talant for drawing, but noone is using it for a job. I got an idea when I was just driving to another town. Maybe, sometimes it's better to scroll some images on the internet first? Try to ask yourself who is your customer, where and why he opens your app. And have you seen the lists for junior front-end? It's better to study next, node and react native (or C#? if it's vue) to have a chance even to apply for the first job :D Your employer wouldn't care about your design skills. For you to worry less: average salary of web designer 740$, front-end dev 2000$. (Can vary in different countries)

@SvitlanaSuslenkova yeah, I understand, but I think depending on your skills you could get paid a lot even by being a designer, so I think is a matter of being a really good one, I've been kinda good at drawing something that I can see, but not so much when it comes to imagining it, so that part have always being hard, and in terms of having employable skills yep, it's true there are some technologies that are better paid than other ones but, if you don't like what you're doing it doesn't matter much how much you're getting paid! that's how I see it, I like coding don't get me wrong I'm just putting it into a general idea. you definitely have a talent for desing!
