🌱 Growth Diary App

Overview

Growth Diary is a simple tool for effective self-paced learning, offering session tracking, filterable views, and productivity analysis for a reflective development journey.

Problem Statement

Self-taught developers, particularly those without a traditional CS/SWE degree, might often find themselves overthinking, jumping between tutorials, or spending too much time on a single topic. Time is valuable, and it becomes important to maximize learning time.

The Solution

The Growth Diary App was developed to empower self-taught developers with a reflective tool to keep track and analyze their learning sessions. The tool offers insights that will allow developers to reflect on studying habits — and ultimately learn to study smarter and not just harder.

Key Features

1. 🚀 Session Tracker:

   • Track learning sessions in real-time or record past ones.
   • Capture topic, start time, duration, productivity, and obstacles faced.

2. 📚 Session History:

   • View all learning sessions easily.
   • Sort by topic, dates, duration, and productivity.
   • Apply filters for focused insights.
   • Enjoy hassle-free pagination.

3. 📊 Session Analytics:

   • Get quick insights on top topics, common obstacles, total learning time, and averages.
   • Visualize correlations with a simple chart.
