How Difficult cloning could be? 😢

Well, I always used to feel that cloning is a“piece of cake” in terms of doing it since we have a design and we just have to code it and tada you successfully cloned it. But No that's not what actually it is.

After 336 hours of coding (won't say continuous coding), I was able to clone a website named FreshMenu. To be honest before this I never even heard about this website 🤔. It was a virtual collaborative project. We were three in a team. But the irony is we were three strangers battling physically, personally, and programmatically. What I mean is out of three people one was affected by COVID-19 so he was battling physically, the other was affected mentally with some personal issues, and I was affected programmatically😢.

It seemed like a dream to complete the entire project all alone. But after giving 94% contribution the project was not that bad, I was able to get most functionalities running, and was happy with a few UI work I could replicate. I was satisfied with what I did. Even though I couldn't make a pixel-perfect clone, but it was an end-to-end project with Oauth login, Map Integration using map box, and Payment method using Razorpay.

The only difficult area was my other batch mates had a team resolving merge conflicts, creating branches on GitHub, pulling into the main pushing into branches, one team member doing one part, other doing other parts and me doing almost all the parts.

I would conclude on a higher node Thanking Masai School, who actually helps in building your mindset and programming set to a level in a minimum of 6 months' journey. Six months ago I couldn't even think of making a page being a computer science engineer, and at the end of the course, I have made a whole project all alone.

Overall it was a mixed experience of being alone, being happy, being sad, being stressed, and in the end being happy and satisfied.

Thank You!

Hope you like it 😁
