I got to brush up on my knowledge about array methods, because I was working a lot with them, when I was rendering the country's information from the API. Learnt some basic NextJS and replaced img-element with Next's Image-element, to easier render images. Also got to learn some about object methods.
I'll focus on learning React Native and Firebase to make a productivity app.
