Show HN: Launched my first react app (to track your spending)
- jfoucher 10y agoHi everyone. I just wanted to show you my latest side project. It's a small React app I built to learn reactjs. I ended up learning quite a bit more as it turns out, notably CouchDB and it's javascript implementation, PouchDB. Some great tools for what I wanted to do: a web app that doesn't care whether I'm online or not. I initially wanted to track my own spending, so I built an even simpler app that only worked on my computer localhost, and I often forgot to save a purchase when I only had my phone handy. Now I can track everything I spend, wherever I am ! Let me know what you think. By the way the code is here: https://github.com/jfoucher/budgetTracker https://github.com/jfoucher/budgetTracker It will probably look awful to experienced react users, but please let me know what you think, feedback is the only way to grow. Thanks again !
- dvdhnt 10y agoPretty neat to see you bring it full circle from learning React to deploying something. I like the colors. It'd be nice if the side menu closed when you clicked or tapped outside of it. I saw you were storing a component in state, for the alert, it's something I don't see very often. Where did you pick that up?
- jfoucher 10y agoThanks for the comments. Yeah I think having the sidebar close on click away would be nice, definitely something that needs to be done. Regarding the component stored in state, it just came out that way I guess ! Is that considered bad practice ?
