Still working on... 🔨

🔨 Creating an MVP idea for my upcoming Full-stack app. I will post a Dev log next week on my progress. Note that this is part of the assignment for my University, so information will be limited.
🔨 Post at least one article each on my learning in Full-Stack. This will be part of my Dev log as mention in the first bulletin point.

Goals for Next Month 🎯

📝 Start releasing Dev Logs for my Full Stack App every week.
📝 Merge at least 1 PR on the Official Forem Repository. Additionally, create a series where I talk about my Pull Requests in detail. I am thinking of calling it "Forem Contribute News". Let me know what you guys think!
📝 Continue interacting with the Dev.to community.
