Master Widget Changed How I Build UI

I kept copying the same logic into every widget. It worked… but it felt messy. Then I discovered something smarter. This post is part of my daily learning journey in game development. I’m sharing what I learn each day — the basics, the confusion, and the real progress — from the perspective of a beginner. On Day 57 of my game development journey, I learned about creating a Master Widget in Unreal Engine and why it matters. What I tried / learned today I learned that a Master Widget is a base widget class that stores common UI logic.
