Naming My First Project

September 30, 2023

Project Name

I've decided to call it PhantomCloudX. It's a multi-account trading journal, and I think the name fits. It sounds professional and memorable.

Final Features

I've been adding the final touches:

  • Better styling and UI polish
  • Improved data validation
  • Error messages and user feedback
  • Code cleanup and documentation

I want this to be something I can be proud of.

What I've Accomplished

Looking back, I've built:

  • A complete React + TypeScript application
  • Account management system
  • Trade tracking and editing
  • Analytics dashboard
  • Data persistence

For my first real project, I'm pretty happy with it.

Lessons Learned

This project taught me:

  • How to plan and execute a larger project
  • The importance of code organization
  • How to solve problems I didn't know how to solve
  • That building real projects is the best way to learn

Next Steps

I'm going to finish polishing PhantomCloudX, then I want to learn about deployment. I'd like to put this online so others can use it too.

Reflection

It's been almost a year since I started learning to code. I've gone from knowing nothing to building a complete application. The progress feels real now.
