Notes

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.

The main challenge that I faced while building this app was learning and implementing the spread operator. Prior to working on this, I had a basic understanding of how it works, but I have never used it in practice in this manner to target data from an array. I really enjoyed the way that concepts were taught in this challenge, especially with the Spotify app as examples. It made these concepts easy to understand and use in real life cases.
