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

The challenge I gave myself for this lesson was to put my React skills to the test out of learning modules. This challenge could have been completed using HTML and CSS, but my goal is to build my JavaScript skills on the frontend. My challenge began with step 1, initiating a working React app using Next.js. To to this, I read the documentation, reached out to friends for the best tools to learn with and committed to configuring a live site on my local server. My final challenge came at the end when it was time to deploy the site to the web. Again, I took an example from a friend and decided on Vercel over GitHub pages and Surge, both of which I've used in the past for static pages.

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

The coding challenge for me here was using a mix of vanilla CSS and Tailwind CSS in a way that looked clean. I took some high-level styles and placed them in a CSS file, while some of the more fine-tuned spacing was done using Tailwind.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

Creating custom themes in CSS and Tailwind configs is my next challenge.
