My process

I first designed the html and css outside parts. Let me explain it a bit. The app kind has one main with two articles separated in between. The second one which is the bigger one has the chart. I did the styling very fast and then came the using of the data through map method in javascript. I was then able to map the item elements of the data while adding classes to their dates and data in terms of div width size.

I got stuck in adding hover state for the class elements.

Continued development

I would really love to know sass and be able to style the chart. I didn't want to overstay on this challenge and kind of move forward and come back later to practice more sass skills after learning it.
