day 18

Had a headache πŸ˜§πŸ’ŠπŸ’Štoday so I didn't plan on working on the hackathon. But I simply couldn't resist typing some code.

Or thinking 🧐 about solving a problem, and more importantly what I wanted to achieve by fixing the problem. Not simply wanting it to work.

Learnt a few things about IAM and Service Accounts. Which are 🧘 and make you feel πŸ’† about things.

Linking the different technologies together wasn't difficult, although reading the documentation.... always comes in handy. At the time I justified my ignorance by telling myself that it's a hackathon.

So now I've connected the React front end, to a Google Sign In. Which retrieves the user data. And the events are being scheduled by a backend service. It's currently writing to the calendar 🌿.

Next I'll update some web URLs. And after that work on the UI and add the features that allow a person to enter the phone πŸ“ž numbers of loved ones and people that they want to get in touch with.
