Stickies
What is Stickies?
Stickies is a web application to take notes and manage them. You can make private notes and classify them into categories.
Has been a side project for some months where I leaned modern web development and was the key to convince me to focus my learning on Reactive technologies.
Tech Stack
Stickies it's based in modern web development technologies as:
-
React as the main framework for javascript development, it allows to create reusable components and manage the state of the application.
-
Redux as the state manager, it allows to manage the state of the application in a global way and to be able to access it from any component.
-
Typescript as the main language, it allows to have a typed code and to be able to detect errors in the code before executing it.
-
Styled Components as the main CSS framework, it allows to create components with their own styles and to be able to reuse them in the application.
-
React Icons as the main icon library, it allows to use icons in the application in a simple way.
My role in Stickies
I have been the only developer of the project, I have been in charge of the design and development of the application.
So far I have developed the following features:
-
Idea and concept of the application.
-
Design of the service architecture.
-
Prototyping of the application in design tools.
-
Development of the application in React.
-
Deployment of the application in Vercel.
What I learned
Stickies has been the mind changing project that has allowed me to aim to be a Frontend Developer. I have learned a lot about modern web development and I have been able to apply it in a real project.
I have learned to use React as a framework for web development, to manage the state of the application with Redux, to use Typescript as a programming language, to use Styled Components as a CSS framework and to use React Icons as an icon library.
What's next
During 2023, I developed a modern version of Stickies using Nextjs and Tailwind CSS.
