As previously mentioned, one of the projects we tackled at Northcoders was the design and implementation of a news website’s backend and frontend. Although I enjoyed working on the project, learning something new while implementing it can often lead to confusion and stress, resulting in mistakes and imperfections. Looking back on these issues can make us feel bad and even cause procrastination.

In this case, the frontend repository ended up being another implementation of the original version of the site, which I didn’t like because it felt clunky, and I wasn’t sure how it all fit together. In the new implementation, I decided to include Redux and related libraries to learn more about building robust web applications.
