Reflection

  • Did the topics discussed in your labs prepare you to complete the assignment? Be specific, which features in your weekly assignment did you feel unprepared to complete?

The labs helped me too much, I learned how to make API querys, Inject html to the DOM, and make basic responsiveness.

  • If you had more time, what would you have done differently? Would you have added additional features? Changed the way your project responded to a particular event, etc.

I would have done more questions to my instructor and tried to do more features to learn more

  • Reflect on your project demo, what went well? Were there things that maybe didn't go as planned? Did you notice something that your peer did that you would like to try next time?

I was able to do the core features, but I would like to have more time to complete all the strecth features like the modal part that my peers did

Open-source libraries used

  • None, just vanilla HTML, Javascript and CSS
