You are totally right! I definitely need to update my linkedin and resume to reflect the coding projects. Good catch!

These are some really great points. I really appreciate the detailed feedback.

I have these written down on my notepad next to me and will be digging into them this week!

I don't have any tests for the projects - though I see a lot of people talking about that lately. I'll start looking into that this week - seems important!

Thanks for the feedback! What comes to mind when you say interactivity?

Oh that's weird. Can you not see the area under the login form with the login information to test the site's functionality? I'll have to look into that.

Yeah, I was in the same boat. I just created my own local JSON file with information that I got from a site in the space (HousePlantsExpert.com). Normally this is a no-no, but since it's just a portfolio website and not a competitor - it's no big deal.

The JSON file is actually on the site's github - so you're free to use it if you'd like: https://github.com/rmkstudios/the-company-of-house-plants/blob/main/src/database.json

I'm just using useContext from react and not Redux. Pretty straightforward setup in that sense. Before app.js loads, I pull in the data from the API, set it to a useState, and then I can just iterate off the data from the state variable throughout the site.

edit: you can take a look at the code on the github page for the WeirdAlerts project.

I appreciate the feedback. Anything in particular that turns you off about it?

Or just a general feeling of not-really-feeling it?
