Last week I had to take one step backward to take two steps forward. After implementing the component for adding new questions I realized that I had to redesign the database schema. The past few weeks I’ve been focusing on learning authentication, UI/UX, and Azure. Therefore I only added a few questions and didn’t think much about how to design the database to store and manage many more questions. On top of that, I’ve only been using a mock of the database for the last 2-3 weeks to test frontend changes faster, but when I finally started to use a real database connection this week I ran into some more issues. All in all, I’m happy with what I managed to achieve in the last days of December 🙌.
what did I do last week?
- finished configuring MS SQL database on Azure
- refactored most of the backend
- added new databases (for answers and interviews)
- added component with adding questions and interviews
what was the biggest impediment?
This time there were no major difficulties.
what is the plan for next week?
- complete tests with adding & deleting questions and interviews
- migrate database to Azure
- add more questions

summary
I didn’t forsee that there was still a lot of work to do with the databse and data storage, but I think that if in two weeks I still have about 15 hours a week for working on the app, then I should finally start promoting the beta version 🤞.
