  • Created my arrow Icons using Inkscape
  • Loaded those icons as objects into my HTML code and made sure they were correctly positioned in the Taskmaster App cards
  • Created a CSS animation for the SVG so that it rotates when called
  • Linked this animation to a Javascript event handler to allow the user to change the state of a task when the SVG is clicked
  • Pushed to the DIMMiN App
  • Figured out why the Taskmaster App was giving so many issues with Static Files.
