Due to timeline constraints, I’ve decided to shift focus on getting the actual functionality to work before improving the UI. Thus, I focused on getting the main structure of the page setup with Deposit, Withdraw and History buttons setup, a backend express server for interacting with a local db, and some components created for working with the forms.
Considering the money idea further, I decided it wasn’t worth the effort to make the animation and decided to go with a simpler idea. Instead of money falling into the jar, representing amount of money currently stored, the jar will be filled by a green liquid representing the money. Next, I plan on adding a money symbol at the center of the jar and then finally move on to implementing the full website :)
Just created some components for my cash tracker website! Created the Jar and Money components and am ready to move onto the animations :)
Just finished my first slack bot! I added three different commands into the bot, which allowed me to explore a few different capabilities of the slack bolt api.
/mk-quote [category]: allows you to get random quote for a category. This allowed me to try out different quotes apis and work with axios
/mk-animal-photo: allows you to get random photo/gif of a random animal (dog, duck, cat). This allowed me to learn about blocks as an argument for respond, allowing me to send images in a chat
/mk-latest-announcement: reads the latest announcement in the announcements channel and reports it to you. This allowed me to learn about chat reading capabilities and more about the importance of scopes
