Looking forward to seeing the build! I’ll need to wait until well into next year before I can afford to build myself a new pc and upgrade my laptop but I’ll do a video of my build too, when it happens 🙌🏻

🌟 Short Summary Kept the momentum going with UI improvements and learning new component-building techniques. Chelsea’s win was the cherry on top of an already productive day! ⚽ 🛠️ Detailed Progress and Achievements - Platform Refinements: Spent around 4 hours improving the platform's UI for mobile devices, especially the landing page, which had some layout shifting due to custom visualizations. Also worked on: - Auth flow: Optimized the process to ensure a smoother user experience. - Welcome page and dashboard layout: Enhanced the structure and visuals for a cleaner, more engaging design. Progress is steady, and the platform is inching closer to where I envision it. - Learning New Techniques: Watched a few tutorials on building new components to add functionality and enhance the platform's features. I’m being mindful not to overload it too soon, ensuring each addition complements the platform’s purpose. - Football Boost: Watched Chelsea’s game during lunch, and they WON! 🎉 The win really uplifted my mood and set the tone for the rest of the day. - Daily Routine: Took my dog for a walk, completed my daily mathematics lesson, and then treated myself to a much-needed long nap. 🔮 Looking Ahead Tomorrow, I’ll continue refining the UI, possibly focus on accessibility improvements, and start working on one of the new components I studied. ✨ Final Thoughts It feels amazing to keep the momentum going! The platform is shaping up nicely, and Chelsea’s win made today even better. Here’s to more productive days ahead! 😄

@Digitl-Alchemyst Steven-Watkins I’ve been doing the same thing!! I’ve called mine the ‘component library’ and I’ve started working on dynamic UI kits that can be reused, customised and ‘copied’ into other projects. Would be happy to contribute!

@Raymond Adeniyi yeah I restarted the challenge. I ended up missing almost a full week due to exhaustion and other things so it didn’t seem right to continue on that path, so I starter over and I’m feeling motivated even more now 💪🏻
Sunday, 24 November - Day 9 of 75
🌟 Short Summary A productive day building a brand-new portfolio site from scratch, laying the foundation for showcasing my work and personal brand! 💻✨ 🛠️ Detailed Progress and Achievements Portfolio Site Development: Spent the entire day (around 9 hours) creating a single-page React app with features including: - Smooth scrolling and custom grid section layouts for a seamless user experience. - Integrated Tailwind CSS for styling. - Added sections for: - CV download - Project previews with links - Reviews/testimonials from clients and coworkers. - A contact form connected to a backend service for email messaging. - Purchased a custom domain matching my social media handle for consistent branding. I’m excited to wrap up the remaining bits before publishing it! Platform Plans: Once the portfolio is live, I’ll shift focus back to: - Completing Convex integration. - Finalizing Clerk auth setup. - Reconfiguring components to work with Convex instead of Appwrite. Upcoming Tasks: Prepared for an early appointment tomorrow and a video call with a recruiter from Arnold Clark, exploring a dev opportunity. 🐾 Daily Routine - Took a few hours to unwind by watching a TV series after a long day. 📺 - Completed my daily mathematics lesson. 🧮 - Responded to some personal messages before calling it a night. 🔮 Looking Ahead Tomorrow’s focus will be on finalizing the portfolio, progressing on the platform, and preparing for the recruiter call. Fingers crossed for new opportunities! 🤞 ✨ Final Thoughts Today was incredibly productive, and I’m excited about the direction my projects are heading. Building the portfolio feels like a huge step forward in showcasing my work and personal brand. 🚀

@Digitl-Alchemyst Steven-Watkins I meant to have it finished tonight but I feel like I’ve been hit by a freight train, so I’ll finish it first thing tomorrow and post the link 💪🏻

@Raymond Adeniyi I really like using appwrite but convex is very powerful and combines perfectly with clerk so it’s going to be a 50/50 between them going forward.

🚀 Short Summary of the Day A productive day filled with learning, progress on my portfolio, and some exciting developments on the job front. 📋 Detailed Progress and Achievements Coaching Call with Sonny: • Attended the live session and gained valuable insights on combining Convex and Clerk to enhance authentication and improve security features. • The depth of the session really broadened my understanding of implementing robust backend solutions for my projects. Portfolio Progress: • Deployed my portfolio site: https://hiyaitsciaran.com • While the core structure is live, I still need to add more content such as my extended bio and more projects to showcase. • Managed to implement one of the planned features, which was really satisfying to see come to life. Job Prospects: • Received more interest from recruiters regarding potential roles. • Staying patient and focused on finding a role that truly aligns with my skills and career goals. Daily Routine: • Completed my daily mathematics lesson, keeping the streak alive. • Took my dog for a walk, which helped clear my head and balance out the day. 💭 Final Thoughts Despite a lingering migraine, I feel like today was a step forward on multiple fronts. It’s exciting to have my portfolio site live, and I’m optimistic about the opportunities coming my way. For now, it’s time to relax and recharge for another productive day tomorrow!

🚀 Short Summary of the Day Today was a much-needed decompression day, focused on self-care and light planning after an intense weekend of work. 📋 Detailed Progress and Achievements Avoiding Burnout: • Recognised the signs of overwork and took the day off from coding to recharge. • Reflected on how intense focus over the weekend left me drained and ensured I prioritised rest today. Portfolio Planning: • Spent time brainstorming additional features and content for my portfolio site. • The extra planning will help streamline future updates and improve the site’s presentation. Daily Habits: • Completed my daily mathematics challenge, staying consistent with my learning streaks. • Got outside for a walk with my dog, which helped me reset and feel more grounded. 💭 Final Thoughts Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is step back and take a breather. Today was about balance and ensuring I don’t push myself too far. Back to work tomorrow with renewed focus!
