The joy of having one’s hard work and efforts payoff is really priceless and that was how I felt about KhayY Clothing’s website launch. It’s been months of small leaps put together along with huge support from friends and I’m so excited it is finally live at shop.khairahscorner.com.
Now you might be wondering if it’s not just a website “anyone” can build. I’d love to proudly burst your bubble and inform you that the “website” is in fact a vuejs app and EVERY functionality involved was custom built.
As you all know from my Intern Diaries posts, I was on a 6-month internship at a software development company, Crenet TechLabs Limited. It was my big era of discovery. I got to learn a lot in Front-End design and development and I’m forever grateful for the opportunity to have worked with them.
You can catch up on my Intern Diaries Here!!
You can also check out the dope website of Crenet Techlabs HERE.
THE BEGINNING
The project started out as a “practice project”. I was learning vue.js (a JavaScript front-end development framework) and I wanted hands-on practice after going through the course. I found this idea online and decided to practice it. A deeper look into it and I realized this could be more than just a practice-project. It could solve my problem of not always being available for my customers to make inquiries or to filter out serious and interested buyers only. I suddenly had a huge yearning to solve that problem with the technology I learnt and it kept me going.
THE STRUGGLE
There were a lot of frustrating days. I kept writing codes that could work today and be useless on moving on to more complex features. I had a lot of deletions of logic, multiple days of brainstorming and long hours on Google looking through Stack Overflow and other sites to solve my errors and problems. “coder’s block” even became a thing to me (kinda like writer’s block). However, I kept pushing because I had to be accountable for the announcement I made. That served as a major reminder to persevere and it paid off.
Technology is all around you, it’s about building something that benefits at least ONE person in a particular area, it’s about solving real-world problems and making the world a better place, one code at a time, lol. I really hope to keep this zeal and work in this field for as long as I can.
I’ve always mentioned trying to figure my life out. Have I still figured it out? Hell nah. Do I have one more defined path? Yes, I carved that out during my internship. And that’s what brings me to this announcement below!
