    Hi Kawika,

    This is a good attempt, well done! While it's good to get exposure to libraries like React and Chakra UI, starting off its best to get a strong understanding of the fundamentals first, as frameworks and libraries are primarily built upon this. It allows you to then go into any particular direction without having a dependency on one particular tool. You'll likely also be tested on fundamentals in interviews too. Once you work your way up to the more advanced projects, libraries like React work great as they involve state management when handling data, and you'll also get more out of using UI Component libraries like Chakra UI. These junior and newbie challenges are designed to test and build your confidence with using pure HTML, CSS and JS. Using dependencies with this is also quite an over-engineered approach.

    Also, avoid using Create React App for client-side projects as Meta have stopped supporting it. Use Vite instead (they also support vanilla/pure HTML, CSS and JS environments too.)

    Hope this helps.
