Quicknote: Trying out this new format to update my progress here moving forward. Credit to Ran Segall for the documentation template.

Progress Made

Frontend

• Find a workaround with display name bug when refresh.
  • New request is made to /auth/me every time the route is updated
• Explicitly re-setting the default headers for axios after each token refresh.
• Add a change password page for the logged in user.

Backend

• Create a new endpoint /auth/change-password for authenticated user (or logged in user) to change their password.
• Fix minor bug with /auth/me
  • Add middleware to make sure only authorized user are allowed to make this request
  • Send a badRequest with code 400 instead of just a plain text

What I did well?

• Manage to better understand useEffect hooks that I use to fix the display name bug.

What I'm stuck with?

• The workaround with display name is not something I'm satisfied with but I can let it go for now.

How will tomorrow be?

• Complete the user profile display page, and add edit info page where they can change their name and maybe email.
