Learnings
Understanding DocGenerator in depth: I invested time to go through the backend of the project, the issues - especially the specification in all the UI related issues that gave me deeper insight into what is the end goal and in which direction I should proceed. Understanding the backend and APIs also helped me to understand how data will be sent and fetched from the backend to the client-side.
Implemented design thinking to design the UI from scratch: Researching and going through existing websites helped me to creatively think how best the website can be designed and subsequently developed so as to have an easy-to-use yet appealing frontend. This also involved learning the use of advanced features of Figma.
