Almost done adding all the functionality to the CP. My process for this project has been pretty fun. Something like this:
1. Layout the different pieces of information I want to show
2. Style them
3. Make them dynamic
I usually like to plan a lot before I tackle big projects like this, but I just couldn’t resist. Having too much fun just winging it! Guess that’s the advantage to working on your own projects. They get to be as fun as you want them to be! Here’s a screenshot:
