Thoughts on project and how we went about it.
When we started the project we originally came into a lot of roadblocks with vercel. Once we became comfortable with uploading to vercel, VSCode, and getting the three of us to actually work on one repository, we made steps to completing the project. Our first order of business was the search bar. We thought that doing this first would allow us to be able to frame the outline of our application and be able to gage where everything would be however, this turned into our first problem. Our issue was getting too overcomplicated. We originally found a really cool search bar that we wanted to implement to our application to help improve how our app looks visually, however we decided against it due to being way too complicated and hurt our progress on more important things such as actually wiring up the search bar. Instead we went with a simple design and search bar and made more progress. Second, we created the badges and were able to implement them our API. Originally all of our badges were grouped as one with different attributes so if you edited one they would all change. We were able to separate them by making big changes to our API that allowed us to make more progress and made things easier to work on. After successfully implementing the search bar, our last task was making each border a different color. We were unfortunately unable to make each badge color different after lots of trial and error we were not exactly sure of how to go about it. Overall we found this project challenging however, we learned a lot of valuable information of back-end and front-end coding and how to get the two to talk to each other and actually create an app. If you look at our homework check ins I believe at around check in 2 or 3 we quickly ditched trying to make it fancy and focused on wiring everything up as a working app is much better than a fancy app with multiple issues and problems.
