Hey Molly. Your project sounds really interesting. I'd love to use it. Great job on finishing it!
I am currently learning React/Redux by way of freeCodeCamp and I'm also struggling 😓 Your post gave me a well-needed boost so thank you!

Thanks so much! I'll post a followup once I add authentication so others can use it! I've been using it every day :). I mentioned this in my post but I highly recommend this course: udemy.com/react-redux/. Udemy constantly has sales going on and I was able to purchase the course for $11 USD. Either way keep at it! React/ Redux takes a lot of practice!

I also strongly suggest Stephen Grider's React/Redux course (and all his others as well). It's the one tutorial that really made it "click" for me. He's a great teacher.

I’ll keep an eye out for your next article then, and when the course is on sale. There are a lot of great articles here on React and Redux that helped explain tough concepts, but my main issue is the syntax 😣
I definitely will keep practicing though! 🙌🏽

Do a google search for Udemy coupons and you'll find a bunch that will reduce the price of almost all of their courses. This one I just found makes all courses 11.99, and apparently doesn't expire until May 19th: UDEAFFFD419

But if that doesn't work, there are others out there. I don't know why they just don't make the courses the lower price to begin with.

Cool project! I had a hard time with React/Redux Flatiron section too because for me, the explanations weren't quite enough for me. Thanks for suggesting the Udemy course! I'll definitely check that out.

I can totally relate to that! I needed more examples of building React/ Redux apps from the ground up. I'm starting to really enjoy it!

Great project and congratulations on finishing it! I just started my final project at Flatiron and used Stephen Grider's React and Redux course as well. His examples and teaching method helped me a lot.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing!

I want to build an application by myself.
But I am lacking inspiration.

How did you find the idea for your project?

The idea came to me because I was keeping logs of questions I had in notebooks, but then when I would try to look back on what I didn't know, the questions were amidst my other notes as well, and it was tough for me to find my questions! I also journal daily about other life happenings, so it felt natural to create a log for coding.

To come up with app ideas I typically think of an inefficiency or problem in my life or others' and create a tool to help out!

I love the goal setting in the article. As a new React developer, you might like my Reduxion here... for future projects.
