I wanted to provide an update on my journey. I finished building the second project I was building, it is a healthy meal planner which lets you look up meals from an API and can add them to a meal plan calendar to track your meal planning for the week, you are also able to add favorites and generate a shopping list. I also made the suggested changes (most if not all) from @Hayk Simonyan regarding the gym progress visualizer and deployed both of these projects on Vercel. Then I added them to my portfolio which I deployed too, the goal is just to have something up so I can apply for jobs because I haven't been applying for jobs in months since I had no hope in having a chance without a portfolio and a couple projects but now I do so I will continue my job search after editing my resume while improving my projects or building new ones and improving my skills overtime inshallah. I'm probably going to focus on some smaller projects in JS from scratch because I felt I relied on AI too much, especially towards the end of the project then continue with React and go from there.

After I finished the JS course, I started focusing on trying to apply my learnings, I did this by: Using the 30 days 30 JS projects course to build out projects by following along in the project based learning GitHub: https://github.com/practical-tutorials/project-based-learning https://javascript30.com/ While at the same time starting my first application which is a gym progress visualizer, the idea initially came from prompting AI to give me ideas for projects based on my interests. There is a readme that explains the project further in the GitHub repository below. In this project, I was able to improve with my HTML & CSS & SCSS skills more as well as build something functional without tutorials using JavaScript. This project was mostly vanilla JS except I used chart.js for one of the features on the app. I did use AI to assist me with building it, I definitely would not have been able to do it all from scratch, especially at a faster rate. But when using AI assistance, I would focus on understanding the code that AI prompts and focus on understanding how everything works and why this code over something else, I found this helped me more with learning as well. I feel like not using AI at all isn't efficient and is like using a toy oven to cook food rather than a real oven. The project is finished (for now) I may expand on it when I finish learning React but I might just build another application to further help myself understand how to build things better. I wanted to see what you guys think! For Hayk: If you could do a code review to see how things are and where I could improve or do better that would be great! This project was mainly a learning experience for me rather than building something super impressive. There will be more to come in the future God willing!
