Present Pastell

•Reactproject

Present Pastell is a website I made for the MIT WebLab 2023 competition course. Present Pastell is a website where users can write journal entries. The website was a semi-finalist in the competition and won the best backend feature. I played a full stack role as part of the team of 3. I programmed the frontend for several pages, I also built the entire backend.
