Starchart: Choosing a technology

Finding a path

By the end of last week, we were informed that for the creation of our project (Starchart), we will be using a specific technologies for it. Such technologies are...

I have my career planned out for a while now, and I planned on working with the front-end to get accustomed with the work, and also because it has a visual presentation of what my code is doing in real time (I'll work my back-end once I'm more accustomed). Thus, when choosing a technology to work on, I decided to pick Chakra UI, due to it being a library of react components (which I'm a bit familiar of). Having a thorough understanding of the library should help me have a much deeper understanding of the ReactJS library.

What I found

The reading I did made me realize that Chakra UI actually helps keep a group much more organized when working with a project. The problems I noticed with working with other people, is that individuals have different answers for similar questions. If you tell someone to create a side navigation bar, what they'll come up with will be quite different from yours. I'm not referring to the design, but the source code. With the use of pre-made components, chakra ui reduce the burden of having to figure out your peer's work, and help new contributors get in to action much faster.

I'm planning on implementing this library to a project I have for a different course. Working with people with no experience will bound to be un-organized, and this should help lessen that issue.

I'll be updating the wiki once a week to help contributors to the project a basic knowledge of what chakra is
