Second week participating in [The Collab Lab](https://the-collab-lab.codes/). We are building a smart shopping list application using React and Firebase. This week, I paired with another team member to add a new feature to allow users to submit a list name and create a new shopping list.

This is a summary of my first week participating in [The Collab Lab](https://the-collab-lab.codes/). I decided to join because, while searching for a full-time role as a developer, I realized that working on my own projects was not providing me with a me a big part of what a developer job is about. I found myself missing the experience of collaborating with others to build something together and the opportunity to improve my communication and presentation skills.

This is week number 3 for my Collab Lab project. Since week 1, I have been contributing by adding different features to our app. I've had the opportunity to pair with all the developers in the team on these issues.

I have already finished week 4 in [The Collab Lab](https://the-collab-lab.codes/). I am glad to see the project taking shape, with the issues becoming more complex. As a team, we have still managed to deliver the new features on time.

Those past weeks have been a bit busy on my side, so I am summarizing both in this new blog entry. ✨ Our shopping list app's functionality is now almost completed, and we are really close to starting work on the UI styling.

We are pretty close to the end of our Collab Lab project 🤯. Since we started, I worked each week pairing with another developer on an issue assigned to us. Usually, it was a new feature to add, and it was great that the complexity was growing at a very nice pace, so it kept us really engaged with the project.

During the final weeks of the project, we focused on improving the user interface's look of our app. We collected some inspiration in a mood board and then started by creating some mockups for the different views in our app.

During the last week my team successfully shipped the fully functional web app, and as a wrap up I want to share some final thoughts on this amazing experience.
