Reflection

• Gained experience configuring an app for Heroku deployment with MongoDB Atlas
• Inadvertantly gained an understanding of Chart.js:
  • Discovered issues in provided frontend scripts, so I familiarized myself with the structure and refactored code to manipulate data/display charts correctly.

Future Scope

• Edit previously added exercises
• Reuse or delete old workouts
• Schedule future workouts?
• Create login system for separate user accounts
