week 11 – splitting the app into two modes: study & interview

This week was not perfect in terms of the time spent on the app but I managed to finish 2 out of 3 planned things.
After spending the previous week mainly on the backend API, I spent last week on the frontend.
I have implemented two modes:
study mode -> the user can practice the questions on three levels (junior/mid/senior). The user receives feedback (result) after each question. There will also be a reference with a broader explanation of the question in the future.



interview mode -> the user can take part in one of many interviews that have been prepared based on questions collected by me & my friends during real interviews. For now, the same questions are in study mode, but in the future, interview mode will be paid and interview questions won’t be present in study mode

what did I do last week?

🔶 implemented two modes: study & interview
🔶 implemented new scoring strategy

what was the biggest impediment?

  • designing two modes (I spent a lot of time designing their appearance and how to switch between them)

what is the plan for next week?

  • finish task from the previous week: automate refresh tokens in frontend
  • implement assigning points to a user
  • start moving to Azure

time spent

  • from last week
    11h 0m
  • overall
    150h 0m

costs

  • from last week
    0 $
  • overall
    32 $

summary

This week I deliberately left the refresh token issue because I wanted to take a break from this topic, as I spent almost the entire previous week on it. I will start this week by finishing this one.
I’m also wondering if I should implement the feature with adding your own questions/interviews right away or do it later (maybe on a premium plan?). Anyway I’m happy to be getting closer to finishing the first working beta of my app and moving it to the cloud (I’m hoping to start working on it this week).
