Hey this is really cool. I’ve recently started learning python as a hobby, with the goal to eventually start full stack development. I was just wondering, since this is your first web app, how long have you been coding for/how long did it take to get up and running?

Thanks a lot for the kind words! I think you should definitely learn Python - it's a very versatile language, but for the full-stack I would recommend mastering JavaScript instead. As for me - I've been coding in Python at school for a while now (I'm a data science major) but I haven't really had any experience with the full-stack so I wanted to take this as a learning opportunity for me. In total, it took me a week to build the whole site - the relatively quick timeline is probably because I treated it as a personal hackathon with a one-week deadline.

  Thank you :) I’m currently choosing between doing my MBA and going full on into business management, or totally pivoting away and starting cs. So I’ll check this out

    Even if you're doing business, it's always good to have a hard skill under your belt, so I'd say there's definitely no harm in mastering CS on the side! Good luck! :D
