CV Application Project: Bonus Section for the Project about curriculum HOT 4 CLOSED

Thank you for making this issue @mathdebate09

Gonna ping our React team to get opinions on this @TheOdinProject/react

from curriculum.

I'm not sure we need to add that in, even as extra credit. The main focus of that project is to start getting used to using components and managing state, and a lot of people already have trouble handling the basic building blocks of React (which is understandable given it's the first project with it).

Admittedly, I'm personally more on the "reluctant" side regarding adding to/creating extra credit sections and would rather see projects focus on the core concepts they intend learners to focus on. If it's valuable enough of a step, it should be a mandatory spec point. If it's not valuable enough to be made as such, I feel like it probably shouldn't be included, as people may not be able to judge the scope well enough and end up wasting time trying to do something that's not part of the real point of the project.

This is also coming from my own experience, reflecting on how I spent more time trying to figure out how to structure and make component->PDF work for printing, than doing the core requirements. If I was dying to implement that feature, it'd be more suitable later on when I've more fundamental skills. But instead, I wasted time adding that feature poorly, and honestly it didn't really teach me a great deal.

Thank you for suggesting it nonetheless! 😄

Yep @MaoShizhong now that you jolted them down, the idea of extra credit deviates from the core reason of this project, which is to get started working with components and states, I understand your point, we can close this issue.
