The Responsiveness

The application is designed to be fully responsive, aiming to maintain a consistent user experience across different screen sizes. The goal is to provide a practical and user-friendly interface on par with Visual Studio Code (VSC) across all devices.

The Process

This time, I experimented with applying the Kanban methodology to my personal workflow. I utilized Jira for planning and tracked my progress using a Kanban Board. Additionally, I designed crucial elements in Figma. Subsequently, I initiated the development process, meticulously monitoring my progress, creating and managing tasks, and categorizing them as 'TO DO', 'IN PROGRESS' or 'DONE'. The application has been successfully published as an MVP. Currently, I am conducting thorough testing using Playwright, reviewing and addressing any errors, and continuously refining the design for optimal performance.
