02.Motivation & Outcomes
I developed this project in vanilla JavaScript as I wanted to understand fundamental JS concepts and learn how to manipulate the DOM without any frameworks. This project taught me how to setup an application with a server and client, as well as core frontend concepts involving HTML and CSS, such as flexbox, event handling, and responsive mobile-first development.
