Project 2 - Week 2

My partner and I started working on the "badge directory and search project" by working on the visual and structural side of things before diving into any API work.

This included laying the project out, getting it set up on both Vercel and GitHub, designing the main page visually and structurally, and designing an example badge visually and structurally.

So far there haven't been any issues aside from my laptop refusing to pull my partners code after merging the branches, which I solved by manually making the few changes from the pull request and pushing it myself to the shared repository.

Many concepts translated from the prior project done, including designing a card-like element, designing a page to contain those card-like elements, and setting up functionality to work with API to dynamically load badges.

My next priority will be starting and continuing to work on the API handler for the project as that's all there is left to do aside from filtering / searching which isn't very complex compared to API work.

I had issues with integration of API handlers and getting them working on the previous project as its unlike how I had previously done them, so that will likely be harder than the new concept of filtering through badges based on certain critera.

Below is a rudimentary preview of how the page will work with myself having designed the badge and the dropdown, and my partner having designed the search bar and button.
