+## Goals for This Week
+
+- **Goal 1:** Improved 'reflection' widget UI.
+- **Goal 2:** Implement IndexedDB for storing user data.
+- **Goal 3:** Fix bugs caused by these changes.
+
+---
+
+## This Week’s Achievements
+
+1. **Improved the widget's User Interface**  
+   - I have made improvements to the 'reflection' widget's user interface. The new design is more intuitive and user-friendly, enhancing the overall user experience. On opening the widget window, users can initialize a new session by clicking the 'Start New Session' button. This action sends the project code to the server, which then responds with a flowchart and algorithm.
+
+2. **Storing User Data**
+    - I have implemented IndexedDB to store user data, including summaries and analysis reports. IndexedDB is a low-level API for client-side storage of significant amounts of structured data, including files/blobs.  Now the LLM can take reference from the stored data to generate more accurate analysis.
+

+
+## Challenges & How I Overcame Them
+
+- **Challenge 01:** Working with vanilla JavaScript is really time-consuming. Although my fundamentals about this language are getting stronger, I still find it challenging to make dynamic UI components using it.
+
+  **Solution :** I am using existing CSS styling to make the UI components a little bit faster.
+
+- **Challenge 02:** The 'reflection' widget block comes in the project code. So, the LLM also describes the block in the algorithm that is not needed.
+
+  **Solution :** I have not figured out a solution for this yet. I am thinking of using a regex to remove the block from the code before sending it to the LLM.
+---
+
+## Key Learnings
+
+- I have learned how to use IndexedDB for storing user data in a structured way. This will be beneficial for future projects that require client-side storage.
+---
+
+## Next Week’s Roadmap
+
+- From recent discussions with my mentor, I will be assigning persona-like names to the AI agents.
+- I will be implementing the 'analysis' feature in the 'reflection' widget. Therefore, it has to read the previous summaries and analysis reports from the IndexedDB.
