This is the last day of the challenge but there is tons of stuff ahead to do, I worked on how to override base styles of tailwind as they created issues for me (I definitely burdened myself, tailwind was supposed to reduce the workload not add tons to it). I found tailwind-typography package but there are some things I had to set manually.

I know I should have continued learning Gatsby but hey I just got the idea of what might be causing the bug in my previous code so I worked on it and made it work.

So I am learning about the building blocks in Gatsby. We create a starter project from a GitHub repo right now and I went through the project structure which is okay but there is a lot to learn honestly so let's keep going.

I know I should be on markdown previewer but this is more important as I want a static site with markdown support and gatsby seems perfect for it since I know React.

Hey so I abandoned the markdown previewer project last week or before that and couldn't get back to it, today I finally did and got couple of things working but there is a lot to do.

I apologize to myself for not being good enough to code something good or even learn anything new. I just did Edabit problems for a few minutes in the past days apart from wasting my time/relaxing.

I've got a few minutes so I did some edabit problems and that's all I did for the day.

Oh gosh, the guests and everything keeps me busy so I really can't focus on building a project with all the chaos going on right now.

I am busy nowadays because of some guests at home so I just did a couple of edabit problems with JavaScript and that was all.

I was really unwell yesterday so skipped the day, was having a really bad headache. Today I did some edabit JavaScript problems and that was it.

I know I should have completed the markdown previewer project today but we got some guests and I just couldn't concentrate enough to work efficiently but I did some code even a little bit so it counts in 100 Days.

I finally completed the Random Quote Machine with React, I added a loading icon but because of it I was not able to pass the freecodecamp tests so I just commented it out for now but it works either way.

I started working on a random quote machine for freecodecamp, so far I am done with ugly UI so far with React.

So I completed all the sections in front-end libraries certification on freecodecamp and let's just say my thinking about redux is a bit better than before.

I didn't start anything new but continued with freecodecamp.

I messed up my system yesterday so I just stuck to freecodecamp for the day to practice some frontend stuff.

I don't know how and what to write in my blog entries anymore, everything is just so dull and meaningless lol. I am still recovering so going easy on myself for my own sake.

I am a lot better than before so I tried to watch some Node course videos on Udemy as I missed a lot of theory regarding Node which I should learn to improve my knowledge.

I am still sick and it sucks not being able to do what I want but I have been really weak to even walk with a constant mild headache and all but I managed to do some minor changes and made a PR so it counts.

I was supposed to work but I am still unwell so I stayed away from the screen today as it causes more headaches.

I don't know how but last night somewhere near 2 a.m. I have a bad fever since then I checked my messages and there was some error caused by my changes yesterday ( to be honest ), it wasn't a big thing but I did make it right even at 101°F fever ( not recommended ).

I am tired of working on Tradebyte now, it's getting frustrating now. I added social media links to every team member in testimonials as just having a mentor id was unfair to all participants.

There were many bugs and things that needed improvement and that's how my whole day was gone.

Well, the day went well and it's safe to say TradeByte project is finally over from my side I did all my tasks before deadline and even did extra work by improving UI.

So I continue to work on landing page along with fixing minor UI bugs in the app here and there, to be honest, the front end is not easy even if you are taking reference there is a lot to customize and adjusting those minor things suck.

Backend work for TradeByte is done so now I am working on frontend tasks, which is to build the landing page.

I made some changes in the expire time of cookie and researched about clearCookie as well but it didn't work for me so I stuck to setting the cookie value to empty after signing in which will ultimately expire in 60 minutes.

So week 4 started and I started working on the given task that is to implement a referral system for the app, click on the link above and dive in what I did and how 😉.

The mentor decided to merge PR of other two team members before mine so afterward there were many conflicts, also the tokens were not working as the mentor changed his password for an account so I had to generate them again but at the end, I repeated the process again and pushed the changes.

As I said yesterday I used my own email for the project so I needed it from mentor but he had some problems so I generated it for him and finally made the PR after polishing the code.

Okay I am done with the second task as well, there were complications and errors but in the end, I did what I wanted so it's good.

So I implemented custom sign in and sign up successfully and boi did I learn a lot? Hell Yeah! Like yes I still referred to tutorial and it's code but I wrote the shit myself after understanding what will happen.

I completed learning about how to do custom login with passport.js and started implementing what I learned in my TradeByte.

So I didn't code today except for fixing some issues in TradeByte as it's not rendering static file on view or cart pages but that's something mentor will fix as he set up the project, else I will look into it after I am done with week 3 tasks.

I completed all the assigned tasks before the deadline and even did some improvements (frontend related mostly). A hectic week but I loved it.

Working on the Cart frontend mostly and making the page responsive and decent while doing some backend and client-side calculations to pass it to the transaction route.

Finally finishing the task of making the View Page of TradeByte and making the PR and it got merged too.

So I did the cart front-end almost and left the backend for later. I worked on back-end of View Page which was partially done but I extracted some more data from API and learned about it as well.

I worked on cart today and used tailwind component for it to but adjusted it accordingly.

I made the navbar again with the help tailwind components and moved to other components.

My attention span is getting worse day by day, I could only manage to go through the current code in Tradebyte and rebuilding the Navbar.

Today was a plain day with very little coding and mostly analysing code of Tradebyte app.

Today was more about completing team tasks while helping a teammate and later having a group meeting to discuss the next tasks.

Eid went so well and I am so happy, I got ready for it and celebrated it with some relatives which went really well. Later we celebrated Papa's birthday followed by me solving few JavaScript questions.

Completing the Node App and finally joining the Node team for the Tradebyte project. Watching some videos from my Udemy Node course to improve my knowledge.

The day started late and just went with me trying to solve stupid errors.

I resumed the Node App tutorial today, so many things are there to learn jeez I am overwhelmed.

I just did a bit of freecodecamp Front-End Curriculum where first module is of bootstrap, I learned bootstrap long ago but never really used it but seems like it's a nice time to learn and use it.

Following a tutorial to build a Node.js App with the help of Traversy Media Tutorial, almost halfway done with it and there are so many things I need to dive in deep.

Last day of the break today, will start the grind from tomorrow.

Just a light day ending with some Node revision.

Just enjoying my break and spending time with fam.

I didn't do anything except for customizing my POP OS themes, fonts, and adding some gnome extensions.

I am on break from coding as you guys know so I have been configuring POP OS according to my needs like I customized my terminal and downloaded few things which were needed.

I finally managed to install Linux although I had to choose a different distro as Ubuntu 20.04 was having too many problems for me with UEFI mode.

So I was trying to install ubuntu XXXth time and I was successful but in the process, I lost windows somehow😂. I will take a break for a week from 100DaysOfCode challenge.

Stuck with the installation as the screen keeps on freezing, and people say Window hangs lol.

I decided to install and use Ubuntu, but I didn't want to leave windows yet so I am trying dual boot, hope it goes well.

Trying to solve the cash register problem of the Freecodecamp JavaScript curriculum🔥.

I solved a Freecodecamp JavaScript Project problem on my own like Yassssss girl you rock🔥.

Today was cool, my little brother inaugurated his Just Shawarma shop with one of his friends (Yeah I am flexing cuz he just turned 17 still in school and did it all without taking money from Dad on his own). As for code I took a look at the Freecodecamp JavaScript Project problem but couldn't solve it.

A good day it was, I got the team task done finally and helped some teammate too. Apart from that, I didn't do anything in particular for the day.

The day was peachy and I am not in my best spirits to be very honest. Tried doing the task assigned by the React team using Material UI and Gosh do I wish that no CSS frameworks existed? Absolutely!

Today was a nice day with less code once again XD, I mean I do a lot of somedays and somedays are just more relax time and less code so the balance is maintained and I don't burnout myself.

I added the edit functionality to the Blog Site Node App, had to struggle with the type of requests but settled for POST request on edit form submit.

Today was all about learning and a bit of code. Watched some Node API and JWT authentication tutorials followed by attending a session with React Team on call.

A less productive day, I just managed to complete The Net Ninja Node Crash Course.

It was a cool day, I continued learning Node with Express and middleware stuff, nothing too hard but interesting.

Today was nice like really good as I talked with my besties after so long. Also, I learned some express framework.

A really fun day after so long. Enjoyed learning Node.js followed by baking a cake for my cousin's birthday.

Today was a really nice day, not because I miraculously solved all problems on my own (like that would happen 😂) but because I feel happy sort of.

Just a light day spent solving some Algorithm problems on the Freecodecamp.

Holy shit! I still suck at logic lol, the last module is hard and I had to take help from hints and solutions.

I just made a responsive navbar demo on CodePen to help someone and continued the Freecodecamp Intermediate Algo Scripting module.

It was a light day, I just did one thing apart from normal routine i.e. FCC exercises which are really good for practice in my opinion.

Finally getting done with revision of Context in React but I do need to get my hands dirty with code to get used to it.

So I finally joined Instagram back and it feels good to know a few people missed me. Also completed FCC OOPs Module and Revised React context with Functional Components and it's safe to say I love functional programming XD💻.

My cousins paid me a visit and I decided to play with them but I managed to do some code at last. The day was fairly nice and I loved it.

I finished the Online Shopping Cart Synopsis and did some FCC challenges.

The last date of submission of my project synopsis is 30th and I am yet to create it (that's what I always do, leave things for the last minute lol).

I finally made an app in React after so long that too just in a few hours with almost every functionality I wanted so Kudos to me.

The day was going well until my mind decided I am not satisfied with the todo app and hence starting to create another one, yeh I am crazy.

The days are gloomy and I don't really feel like doing anything but I did work on the todo app from scratch(JavsScript).

Had a rain bath along with trying to solve bugs followed by some Freecodecamp JavaScript challenges.

Finally finished Colt's crash course but there are still things I need to revise like hooks, context, reducers, routers, etc. I decided to look into my React course by Colt to revise these concepts which will take time.

I continued revising React with Colt's YouTube video and made some notes on notion which took a lot of time lol because I had to write them myself but I took help from React Docs too.

I finally completed the basic functionality of the Todo App with plain JavaScript, there are no fancy layout or animations it's just a simple todo list with CRUD functionality🎉.

Worked with Tailwind for real to make the basic layout of the todo app (it's still ugly tho). I also started revising React from another tutorial by my fav teacher Colt Steele on YouTube. You don't have to be productive always, breaks are important too (I talk about it in this blog entry).

Finally done with the Kent's React course but I need couple of more tuts to settle with react workflow. Apart from that, I worked a bit on JavaScript Todo App📝.

Today was not as productive as I thought it would be but its alright I can't breathe code now can I? 😂

In the afternoon I had a call with Team AceFCC and we decided what our next weekly task is gonna be. After that, I started diving into React Fundamentals with Kent's free course on egghead.io✨

 Today I relaxed and did a few challenges from Scrimba.com which were in my mail from a couple of weeks.

 It was a short day where I managed to submit my assignments before time on the last day of submission and did some JavaScript on Freecodecamp.

 Today was pretty good. I made wireframes with Invision which my team approved and at last, I worked on a CSS image for the first time with one of my fav animal Panda and I made it quite well and in a couple of hours 🐼.

I didn't do much except for some exercises on Freecodecamp and Edabit for JavaScript practice, watched some videos on YouTube about how to learn a new skill, and started learning the basics of wireframing 📝.

Today I completed the Pomodoro app and made it work how I wanted it to. Along with this I made some improvements in the Calculator App code and added a lot of comments explaining what I did and why😆.

Today I had a call with my teammates from React stack where we discussed the idea and introduced ourselves. Apart from that, I made the play and pause work for Pomodoro App in sync with settings input🍅.

Today was a mix of stupid moments 🤦‍♀️ with uplift teams lol and working on the Pomodoro App🍅.

Today was awesome with the video call with team AceFCC and a little bit of code for the layout of the Pomodoro Timer I am gonna work on ✨.

Patching up some weird bugs in JavaScript like '0.3 - 0.2=0.0999999....8' and just spending the day with peace💖.

Today was a good day, I finished the Calculator app today🤪.

Apart from the fact that I woke up early and exercised, the day sucked tbh🤪.

Today was indeed great as I woke up before 5 a.m. and did 30 minutes of exercise and dance workout. Click on the blog to know more about my failed attempt to record a video🤪.

Today was a little bit less productive and also a little bit sad too because of the news I heard about a pregnant elephant dying because she consumed a pineapple filled with firecrackers😫.

Today was a mess but I had fun setting up my workflow for Tailwind with webpack and making purgecss work in the tailwind config file with tons of googling. I also made this blog site work.
