Coffee Recipe Tracker Front End

NOTE: This project is a work in progress and is not yet complete. The code here represents the current state of the project.

Front end client (React) for a Coffee Recipe Tracker application. This repo contains the code for all of the user facing functionality for the web client.

The application solves the problem of keeping track of the different ways someone has made coffee. Home coffee making enthusiasts have many factors to keep track of when brewing coffee. This application allows someone to keep track of those various factors and rate the quality of the resulting cup as well as make notes. This will help them to make better decisions in the future about how to brew coffee for the best tasting results.

This project is used as a portfolio piece for my work as a Software Developer. If you are interested in discussing this further with me please feel free to reach out on Twitter or on my website.

Demonstrates use of the following:

React component development
Routing with React Router
Layout and styling with Material UI
Frontend testing with React Testing Library
Connecting a frontend client to a custom backend database and API
