👨‍🎓 Learnings:

Got a deeper understanding of general programming patterns and developed my understanding of Typescript and how to use it on both the front- and backend. Learned how to set up and incorporate a backend server to frontend using Node.js/Express. Developed my understanding of noSQL database (Firebase). Developed my knowledge of React and how to manage state globally over an app (using Redux Toolkit). I've used Material UI for design and accessability concerns and SCSS when needing to override styles. I've used Github for version controll managing as well as code reviewing with peers. The app is bootstrapped with Create react App.
