4.7/5
I have thoroughly explained and documented five key achievements from the last 12 weeks, including how I integrated the backend and frontend for the comments system, built the settings page, and developed the home page. I have also tracked issues and burndowns using our Kanban board. However, I still see room for refining certain features, like improving the recommended posts section, so I won’t give myself a perfect score.
