Every two weeks the Frontend Team at Fueled partake in a development challenge: a loose brief is given to the team on a Friday (with the briefs being decided by any of the team with a suitable idea), between Monday and Wednesday we build our solutions, and then on our weekly team call we each present our submission providing rationale and opening up a discussion – typically people talk about the bits they enjoyed, found tricky, and areas they’d have further elaborated on if they’d had the time.

The Brief

Create a piece of UI for an eCommerce website. This can be literally anything you want as long as it relates to eCommerce.

The Submissions

“I created a little slider to view what cards you have stored on a site. I wanted to be able to add cards and have the brand colours and logo automatically applied but ran out of time.”

Joe Richardson

“I wanted to focus on working more with React with this brief and to get a better understanding of React Hooks - with a light introduction to `useState` I put together a simple image gallery.”

Rob Sterlini

“I was recently shopping on a site that offered multi buy offers and I wanted to see how easily I could translate that into an experience with adding multiple items that were multi buy. The UI is a little rough, but I’m happy with how the button interaction came out for adding/removing. Might have been a little faster to build with a full Vue build with a store, but as it was just one component, passing in the necessary data was fine. Pretty happy with how it came out, but would love to have visualised the multibuy bit a bit more visually. Right now it’s not clear that there are multi buy options”
