Appreciate the detailed feedback and yeah sorry for those issues, I kind of wanted to make it raw for now to leave to test just the core features so i tried perfecting that, I mean I could make it more beautiful and all but I dont have infinite time -- in the end im trying to get a job with it and work on it on the side because its open source so I know I wont get any money out of it at all, so I aimed to make core features not to bugged out and show it as it is, but still you feedback is very helpful, like best I've got so far, so im saving all you said and surely I will improve it the way you said

My two cents only, and this is meant to be constructive criticism. Precisely because you are trying to land a job with this I think you should try to polish as much as possible.

As an employer I’d probably get a better impression if someone shows me a less ambitious project, but one where attention to detail shines everywhere, rather than a more ambitious project that looks “half cooked”. The message I am looking for is “I can do things well, and I care” and for me that is more important than the size of the project.

Of course I am aware that this is completely subjective.

yeah I know... I had attention but too much to core features but not exacly the ui, I knew ui is flawed, honestly I thought its not as bad as it seems to be, but those feedbacks opened my eyes and so maybe I will try managing to have some more time to polish it, I mean now after this much recognition on this post I really started reconsidering where I want to go with this project ...

In my experience, employers aren’t really impressed by “I made this project so you’d give me a job”, they’re impressed by living breathing projects with actual users which solve an actual problem.
