September: Initial Setup and Code Analysis

In September 2022, I was tasked with renewing an existing blockchain wallet that had already been deployed on Chrome.

When I first took on this project, I felt completely overwhelmed. The existing project was developed in Vue 2, and I had to modify it. Additionally, since Chrome follows the Manifest policy, I had to study that as well.

The Manifest v3 issue was there from the start, and since I was more familiar with React, I thought about rewriting the whole project from scratch. I attempted it, but I wasn’t confident enough to restructure everything from the ground up.
