Short reflection

It seems to me that I am on the right track to meet my goals. However, I might not finish everything by the end of the upcoming week. My main goal was to rewrite the app to support multiple users, which required creating additional modules, such as a signup flow. I also wanted to enable expense sharing with my family, which led to the need for a housing concept to support this functionality. Redesigning the database and creating new views took longer than I anticipated.

Although my initial deadline was set for mid-December, I had hoped in my mind to complete everything by the end of this month.

• Today, I successfully completed rewriting the income backend API to use Knex.js. During this process, I made some unrelated changes to the codebase to improve its overall structure.
• I also began making changes to the fronted. Since the schema for incoming payloads has changed, I prioritized updating types first. I am deliberately taking a careful approach to types accuracy. Hopefully this will lead to more robust outcome.

• Continued rewriting database queries using Knex.js, focusing on retrieving all categories.
• It seems to me, I am on right track to meet my goals for this month. At the moment I am focusing on rewriting all my queries using Knex.js. Once that is complete, I will begin implementing sign up module. However, I need to stay disciplined to meet my weekly hour targets.
