## Overview
### The challenge
Users should be able to:
- View the optimal layout for the app depending on their device's screen size
- See hover states for all interactive elements on the page
- Create, Read, Update, and Delete comments and replies
- Upvote and downvote comments
- **Bonus**: If you're building a purely front-end project, use `localStorage` to save the current state in the browser that persists when the browser is refreshed.
- **Bonus**: Instead of using the `createdAt` strings from the `data.json` file, try using timestamps and dynamically track the time since the comment or reply was posted.

## My process
I started building this app by creating a sandbox to experiment with the various components needed in the app. I used this as a way to create the styles so that I could
visually make adjustments to the look and feel. Once I was satisfied with the look and feel, I moved on to individual component behavior. Next, I focused on putting
the components together in the main screen of the app. And finally, I created a component store to properly handle reactivity and state.
### Built with
- Semantic HTML5 markup
- CSS
- Flexbox
- CSS Grid
- Mobile-first workflow
- [Angular](https://angular.dev/) - Front-End Framework
- [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) - For styles
### What I learned
One of the most challenging aspects of this was to calculate relative time for the comments. Initially I considered pulling in a library to handle this for me
but I wanted the challenge of calculating it myself. In addition, I made the relative time calculation update automatically as well.
### Useful resources
- [Angular Dev](https://angular.dev/) - This is a great site for referencing Angular documentation.
- [MDN](https://mdn.io) - I referenced this site many times, great for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) - Typescript documentation.
