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 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.
