Sample Web App

Project Overview

This is a full-stack web application built using React for the frontend and Node.js/Express for the backend. The application allows users to track their daily activities and visualize progress over time.

Features

  • User authentication and profile management
  • Interactive dashboard with data visualization
  • Responsive design for all device sizes
  • Real-time updates using WebSockets
  • Dark mode toggle

Development Process

The development process involved several phases:

  1. Planning: User stories, wireframing, and database schema design
  2. Frontend Development: Building React components and implementing state management
  3. Backend Development: Setting up API endpoints and database connections
  4. Integration: Connecting frontend and backend systems
  5. Testing and Deployment: Unit testing and deployment to cloud servers

Challenges and Solutions

One of the main challenges was implementing the real-time updates feature. This was solved by using WebSocket connections to push updates to connected clients whenever data changes occurred in the database.
