Well, exciting moment! It always feels great to start a new project and this is the first day. A lot to learn along the way.

These are the main tasks I completed for today:

I chose React with Vite for this project.

Even though I have been using GitHub for a while, I have never started a working a repository from scratch right away and building it from there. That is because I have always contributed to other people's projects or because I uploaded the project when it was pretty much done.

So I spent the majority of my time learning a bit more about GitHub before uploading my repository. I learned that it is a good practice to include the 'node_modules' folder in the .gitignore file.

There case few exceptional cases in which you may want to do that, however, uploading that folder has many downsizes because they can significantly bloat your repository size and slow down operations like cloning and pushing.

Then, I spent the rest of the time mainly deleting prebuilt Vite files, organizing a bit better the project's structure, adding some boilerplate and choosing some basic styles.
