A JavaScript CRUD application for a travel blogger who travels to 3 destinations per month. It adds points of interest for the next set of places she’ll be visiting. When the memories are made, she adjusts the cost and adds a review. She requested a Browserify application using JSON-Server, written in JavaScript with modules. Writing this app 2 months into bootcamp in a 3 day sprint reminded me of the first time I took the car out for a spin on my own after becoming a licensed driver … Sweet spot! On to REACT.
