Mantra

(a small idea to guide the day’s work)

Don’t end the month with nothing

Plan

(what do I plan to do)

• More CRUD finessing, focusing on the story editing flow.

What I got done

(plan != reality)

We could do all this from a code perspective for a while, but NOW we can do the following from the app UI itself:

• Create a brand new story
• Save a brand new story in the database
• Get that new story’s randomly generated URL, pass it back to the frontend, and redirect to a new route based on that URL. All of which enables the user:
• To hit save once more on the same screen and EDIT that new story instead of creating a brand new story.
• Delete an existing story from the database!

CRUD finessing indeed 💪

For next time

• Fix our EDN-related data woes for hydrating app state from a saved story in the DB
• List out saved stories so a user can navigate to a saved story via the UI and view/edit it
