- React and plain JavaScript are the main requirements for this project.
- As I created my wire frames I decided that this scenario would work best as a single-page application.
- I did not use redux because I did not see the need for it in this app at its current state.
- I used axios to simplify making requests to the API (don't have to write out promises, etc.).
- I did not see the need for other middleware frameworks/libraries, as in my opinion React is powerful enough to get the job done.
- I chose to use Bootstrap to help with the styling of the components as I saw fit for the application.
- In the future, if I was to further build on this project with a larger data set I would consider using Redux for state management.
- I could add timestamps to the comments
- Could improve on the style with more details
- Improvements to accessibility
- Add feature to select multiple candidates for comparison
- If there were many more candidates in the database, I would improve the user experience by limiting the "Candidates" sidebar to 10 candidates and a time, and add controls to search and navigate through the people.
- If there are mulitple hiring managers using this software I could add in a voting or bookmarking/favourites system to help make the selection process easier.
