Solution retrospective


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

I'm proud of how accurate the design is and how the website is functioning as intended, with both a backend and frontend hosted on render. I'm proud I got it to work with the local storage, it did take some trial and error.

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

First of all I struggled with the local storage, basically I had to change the way it was being stored multiple times so that I could have an array to map through the values. At first I only had a frontend, however the request to clean URI was not working, This was because of CORS policy, so I had to change it to include a backend and this made it work. I also got a bit stuck on hosting it on render since I used vite and not create-react-app, but searching around and Chatgpt helped out a lot.

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

For most of my components, I am wrapping them in a wrapper div, however I don't think this is the most efficient way of doing the design and I would like some feedback on this. Also I was originally storing the URL links that show up in a separate component, however I couldn't get the "copy/copied" button to work with this, so I had to remove the component and just map through the div, I would like some advice on how to pass the props (particularly the active button index and setting it onClick) because I couldn't work out how to achieve this.
