okay its in progress. we will have to approach this bit by bit. forked the original repo and then cloned before creating a branch named according to the first module. i now need to do some adjustments to the code base and make regular commits.

i have listed out some interesting projects i could build and or add to the portfolio.

okay so i built a static site to house a cover letter while doing a job application, i think its pretty and cool and it scores well on lighthouse, also has a form at the bottom that sends responses to my mailbox. built the first iteration of a blog called superamoras. its taken alot of time creating the code and doing the backend logic and db testing. i now want to use something i have no experience in and get my introduced to react library and tailwindCSS so i can make the frontend look cool. for this blog i am trying to design it with a dark theme and color palette, i want it to have admin user and regular users so im messing with permissions and roles and had to write code to consider stuff like deleting comments from users and what users can do and see on the site. its alot if learning im glad to have a version of it that works in a github repo. i must continue working on it and see what headway i can make with learning react and tailwind. both project repos are on my github and need work and to be added to a protfolio site
