About this web app: An app where you can share your favorite creators. Think of it as a wikipedia of sorts
Time spent: 20 hours
The following required functionality is completed:
- A logical component structure in React is used to create the frontend of the app
- At least five content creators are displayed on the homepage of the app
- Each content creator item includes their name, a link to their channel/page, and a short description of their content
- API calls use the async/await design pattern via Axios or fetch()
- Clicking on a content creator item takes the user to their details page, which includes their name, url, and description
- Each content creator has their own unique URL
- The user can edit a content creator to change their name, url, or description
- The user can delete a content creator
- The user can add a new content creator by entering a name, url, or description and then it is displayed on the homepage
The following optional features are implemented:
- Picocss is used to style HTML elements
- The content creator items are displayed in a creative format, like cards instead of a list
- An image of each content creator is shown on their content creator card
The following additional features are implemented:
- Used tailwind css instead of PicoCSS
- I had a hard time using PicoCSS, I just get the point of it. If anything it messes things up.
Here's a walkthrough of implemented required features:

One thing I did struggle was finding a clean methodology in writting clean React code. At the time of writtng this I am looking a mountain of code I have to clean, optimize and possibly write more additional tests on. The functionality itself is the easy part, its how components and css styling the part that I find more difficult, simply because css its a pain to work with. I would say that around 90% of the time I spent on this project was on tailwind and css styling alone. The api was easy, the async was easy, its the UI/UX that was tedious.
- Searchbar: This is something that would work well for the all creators page
