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?

At the start, I was unsure about how to handle the backend and connect it to the frontend, because the labs felt like such a smaller task compared to the project.

• 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 attempted the User Authentication stretch goal and done more CSS styling

• 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?
