What I’ve Been Up To 🧑‍💻

Hey again Devs!
Following up from my last post, I wanted to share what I’ve been working on these past couple of weeks in the LearningTrackingApp project.

🛠️ My Role in the Project:

🔧 Week 1: UI & Setup

I kicked things off by building a clean and minimal login/signup interface — just a simple email and password form with a touch of CSS to make it look neat. Nothing too crazy yet — but it was a nice warm-up.

🧠 Week 2: Auth Learning Phase

After syncing with my partner, I got the breakdown of the system roles and what I needed to handle next. That meant diving into the world of authentication and authorization.

Here’s what I had to learn:

  1. Authentication
  2. Types of Authentication
  3. OAuth & Token-based Auth
  4. Authorization
  5. RBAC (Role-Based Access Control)

To be honest, I got kinda bored reading docs 😅 — so I turned to YouTube.

This React Authentication Crash Course with Firebase really helped me out. It covered everything I needed and made things click.

Wrapping It Up (for now) 📦

So yeah, I basically spent 2 days just watching and learning. Didn't write much code those days, but learning was the main goal — and trust me, it was worth it.

That’s all for this update. I’ll be back soon with more progress and how I actually started implementing all of this.
See you soon, and stay tuned! 👋
