Updates
In this update, I introduced the feature to add notes to each job application. This allows users to keep track of important details, thoughts, and follow-ups for their applications, enhancing the organization and management of their job search process.
Key Features Implemented:
- Add Notes: Users can add and save notes for each job application, providing a space to record specific details and reminders.
- View Notes: Users can view their notes directly from the application details page, ensuring easy access to important information.
- Edit and Delete Notes: Users have the flexibility to edit or delete notes as needed, allowing them to keep their information up-to-date and relevant.
Learning Experience
Implementing the notes feature required a solid understanding of CRUD operations in MongoDB and efficient state management in React.js. I learned how to handle user inputs dynamically and update the UI seamlessly.
Additionally, integrating the notes functionality involved creating new API endpoints and ensuring secure data handling. This experience strengthened my skills in full-stack development and API design.
Technologies Used
- Frontend: React.js, Bootstrap, Google OAuth 2.0, Axios for API requests, GitHub Pages for hosting
- Backend: Node.js with Express.js for API development, alwaysdata for hosting
- Database: MongoDB Atlas for cloud data storagee
- Deployment: Local deployment for development (MongoDB installed locally), future plans for cloud deployment
Future Plans
- Multi-Provider Login: Extending the login system to support other providers like Facebook and GitHub.
- Enhanced Notifications: Implement real-time notifications and reminders using technologies like WebSockets or scheduled tasks.
