What I learned

• My learning takeways written in my blog post here on Dev.to!

Continued development

This website will be an ongoing project and function as a sandbox to implement new techniques and concepts.

Future implementations:

- Create a "Types of Coffee" page to display common coffee types by fetching data from a Coffee API. (COMPLETED)

- Migrating the project to TypeScript. (COMPLETED)

• Enable user to create a personal account. (WIP)

• Enable user login to check their account by using BaaS like Firebase for the backend.

• Create another "Shop" page to display around 6 items for sale and the ability to add it to the custom order plan.

• Add a "add to shopping cart" functionality.
