Birthday Reminder
Birthday tracking app with Redux Toolkit. Add, edit, and organize birthdays with localStorage persistence across browser sessions.
Overview
My introduction to Redux Toolkit through a practical problem: tracking birthdays. Users add and manage birthdays, see who's celebrating soon, and data persists to localStorage so nothing is lost between sessions. Simple app, but it taught me Redux Toolkit's patterns — slices, reducers, and state persistence — in a hands-on way.
