LaunchPad

This update focused on the project detail flow. I created a dedicated page for each project, updated the routes so users can open a project directly from the dashboard, and added an “Open project” action to the project cards. I also polished the styling of the project page to keep the new flow consistent with the rest of the app.

I made a few small improvements to the generators utility too, so it can handle project data more reliably when building formatted files like README, DevLog, checklist, and submission text.

Since the last devlog, I focused on the generators layer of the project. I created a utility that turns a project’s data into formatted output files, including README, GitHub description, DevLog, checklist, AI usage statement, and submission text.

I also added filename generation for each resource so the exported content is organized and easy to reuse. This gave the app its first real content-generation workflow instead of just storing project information.

Since the last devlog, I moved the project from a basic routed app into a more complete project-management flow. I set up a lightweight MVC structure for projects, added localStorage-backed project persistence, and refactored shared UI into reusable components like Button and InputField. I also started importing a custom font to make the interface feel less generic.

On the product side, I built the create-project screen with fields for project metadata, links, technologies, challenges, learnings, and generator selection, plus validation and save/cancel actions. I then expanded the dashboard into a real project overview that reads saved projects, handles the empty state, greets the logged-in user, and links into the new project flow. After that, I polished the styling of both the dashboard and the new project page so the app feels more consistent and usable

Since the last update, I moved the project from a simple login prototype into a small routed app with actual navigation flow. I installed React Router, created public and protected routes, and wired the login so it now sends the user to the dashboard after saving their data locally.

I also built a first provisional dashboard with a greeting, logout action, and a placeholder projects section. After that, I refined the dashboard styling and started polishing the overall presentation by importing a font and improving the visual structure.

I started the project with Vite and React and installed Tailwind CSS to speed up the interface. I structured the application to display a login screen as the app’s entry point. I created the basis of the authentication flow with simple name and email validation. I added local persistence with localStorage to save user data in this prototype. I adjusted the form fields and then refined the page’s appearance with a more polished and responsive layout.
