Hey everyone!
A few days ago, I worked on a fun project—a web-based quiz app built with React. The idea was simple: fetch quiz questions from an API, let users answer them, track their scores, and make the whole experience engaging.
But trust me, turning that simple idea into reality had its own challenges! So, in this blog, I’ll walk you through my process, the problems I faced, and what I learned along the way.
Tech Stack & Tools
Here’s what I used to build the app:
✔ React – For building the UI
✔ Fetch API – To get quiz questions dynamically
✔ CSS & Material-UI – For styling and a clean UI
✔ useState & useEffect – To manage state and handle API calls
Adding a Fun Factor – Gamification!
I didn’t want this to be just another quiz app, so I added:
🔥 A Timer – To keep users on their toes
🎯 Instant Feedback – Right/wrong answers get highlighted
🏆 Leaderboard (Future Update?) – To add a competitive edge
Challenges & How I Solved Them
🚧 API was slow sometimes → Added a loading screen
🚧 State management was tricky → Used useState and useEffect smartly
🚧 UI looked too basic → Used Material-UI for better styling
Final Thoughts
Honestly, this project was a great learning experience! I got hands-on experience with:
✅ API integration
✅ React state management
✅ Making a UI more engaging
I’m thinking of adding more gamification features like streaks and badges next. What do you think? Let me know in the comments! 🚀
