Build Out
Making it your own
At this point, it's time for the little birdy to leave the nest. You should have all of the pieces you need to deviate from the Lego manual. I'm not going to go into much detail of the technical changes I made, because I want you to read through the code on GitHub. So this section is going to be pretty short.
This last 'Checkpoint' really isn't a checkpoint. It's the finish line - well my finish line. Yours should be something totally different. But I just continued to build an app that was a little bit more advanced using the same components we already covered. Let's see what you can make!
