 \section{Reflection}
+\subsection{Planning}
+\subsubsection{Gantt Chart}
+Used Gantt chart to create a plan for what would be needed from this project
 
+\textbf{Pros:}
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item Was useful for the first part because it set expectations
+    of what was needed and how much time there was to complete them
+  \item Helped visualize the different components of the project
+  \item Helped in the beginning being accompanied by a Kanban in Leantime\footnote{\url{https://leantime.io/}}
+\end{itemize}
+
+\textbf{Cons:}
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item Was not detailed enough, and a design document would have been useful
+    to accompany the Gantt chart for each section
+  \item The lack of detail was not helpful when falling behind as having
+    attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) 
+    added to the burden of feeling like each section was a massive project
+  \item Leantime's claim for being \enquote{built with ADHD [\ldots] in mind}
+    felt misleading as navigating through it felt worse than using the front page
+    of Stack Overflow\footnote{\url{https://stackoverflow.com/}}
+  \item Todoist\footnote{\url{https://todoist.com/}} was a good alternative though
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{GUI Design}
+Figma was very useful in implementations as
+
+\textbf{Pros:}
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item It helped with timing and knowing what to do
+  \item Made things feel manageable as it was split up to different sections
+  \item Meant features will not be forgotten
+\end{itemize}
+
+\textbf{Cons:}
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item Certain features being too simple and annoying to use
+  \item A bit of a learning curve for using other components, compared
+    to using plugins
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Implementation}
+
+\subsubsection{Checklist Tester}
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item Implementing the GUI was useful to split up the sections required
+    for the project and having a goal for what to be done
+  \item However, a bit too much time was spent on creating a GUI when it
+    could have been used for development
+  \item It was useful for motivational reasons to feel like something
+    materialistic has been produced rather than something theoretical
+  \item Was originally intended to be used to interact with custom
+    plugin for X-Plane as it would have been difficult otherwise
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{Connecting to the Flight Simulator}
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item Would have been more useful to search a bit further if there was
+    another plugin available, as found Dataref Editor on the X-Plane docs,
+    so could have looked for a similar plugin for connecting to X-Plane
+  \item At first spent about a week developing a C++ X-Plane plugin from scratch,
+    requiring to figure out sockets
+  \item At the same time finding out XPC exists and having wasted that time
+  \item However, it did teach me more about understanding how sockets work and
+    more about C++ and setting up a project with CMake and adding packages with
+    vcpkg
+\end{itemize}
