What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

While I think it is a good idea have search suggestions, I'm not entirely happy about how they work, because:

  • due to pagination and rate limits it's not always possible to find the user you want
  • clicking on an item doesn't always display the profile, yet I don't know what's the cause for that

I probably should have positioned the search suggestions instead of placing them on a grid layout.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Making the suggestion list work.

  • At first I had skeletal screen for all items but the experience was bad, so I decided to discard that
  • I had trouble positioning the list, so I used CSS Grid but I'm not entirely happy with the result
  • Clicking on the item doesn't always work, I haven't been able to figure out why
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

Any suggestions about:

  • fixing the item clicking issue
  • dealing with rate limits

are welcome. I'll be grateful for any other feedback as well.
