EOD Status Report 10/17

Blockers:

  • The thing that takes the most time is figuring out how to take state history of an algorithm and turn it into the kind of visualisation I want. in particular how to organise my data structures and structure useEffect hooks. It feels like it takes longer than I want it to and I get frustrated.
  • I should just try to hammer out functionality on the algorithm visualisations rather than getting bogged down in visuals/how it flows.

Learnings:

  • Passing a prop from one file into another means you are literally passing that thing into another place and whatever happens to it there also happens to it in the original file.
  • DFS is way simpler than I thought.

Wins:

  • Fullstack implementation with user interaction and dynamic loading working
  • Scoped out externship feature details with Vineeth on a call and ran through the codebase to get a better idea of how to implement tutor-gpt locally
