How I built a widget app for monday.com in just 2 days !!!
Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts!
Today, I want to share with you my thrilling journey of creating a widget app for monday.com in just two days.
It all started when a new client of ours requested an add-on for their monday.com experience. Intrigued, I dove into the monday.com marketplace, only to realise that there were some missing features and the analytics charts were quite basic. That’s when the light bulb went off in my head — I was going to create something special, something akin to the GitHub contribution chart!
