#100daysofcode #nextjs #webdev #markdown

I didn't like how limited the customization options were. When I was using dev.to, I liked markdown because of how easy it was to use. So, I want to add it to the website to that there could be better descriptions of the ideas.

I spent today making a note app to see how Markdown would work with Firebase database. The experiment was successful because I was able to add it to the website and it was formatted correctly, from spacing to the content.

Along with making a Markdown notetaking app, I realized that problem that kids my grade and myself had was Quizlet writing mode. In french class, I remembered when I used to use Quizlet to practice writing french words but after they started charging for it. I decided that I would make it myself. This will help me a lot for my classes that require memorizing terms.

I plan to add this to the website later. The goal is for the website to be completely finished from the backend to the front end by Summer 2023.
