Things to pay attention to

• My biggest complaint when working on this project was writing the navbar on every single page. My webdev experience previously was only with flask, which has templating so that you don't need to rewrite the core structure of each page; rather you focus on the differences.
• I was looking for something like that in PHP, which lead me to reading some documentation. I decided to repurpose the include function and some clean folder structuring to recreate the flask like templating feature. While not exactly what you think of when you think 'dynamic content', I think that the powerful benefit of writing in one place and using in several places, and reducing the text content of each individual php page by ~50% picks up the slack. To be sure though, I created active page highlighting on the navbar with php using some built in directives.
• I used bootstrap to generate dynamic styling so that the page is responsive to mobile users.
• API calls for generating the BTC/ETH/XRP tables on the fly
