This week I built out a page that helps onboard the user into signing up on Alpaca. The page consists of a sliding carousel that has three pages with information on the Alpaca onboarding process. The first slide page shows an image of the create account page on the Alpaca website, some text instruction and a link to that page. The next slide contains another image of the Alpaca website that shows your key/secret. It also contains instruction text and a link taking you to the highlighted key/secret webpage. The last slide has two text fields, one for the secret and one for the key where the user may input their keys and then click a submit button to save them. The backend process for this is not yet finished but I will work on it next week.
This week I used chatGPT a lot for the skeleton code of the slides. The first draft it gave me was pretty close to what I needed and with a single additional prompt to fix some centering/colors and sizes I was able to have chatGPT give me exactly what I wanted. All that was left was uploading the correct assets and linking the pages.
