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

I'm really proud of how clean and smooth the final result looks! The animations, dark mode, and layout all came together nicely. I also loved how the loading skeleton adds a cool touch to the user experience. If I did it again, I'd probably break the code into smaller parts earlier on to keep things more organized and easier to manage.

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

The biggest challenge was figuring out how to show the loading state properly with the new Next.js App Router. I solved it by adding a delay and creating a loading.tsx file with skeletons. I also had to be careful with where I put animations, since some parts needed to be on the client side only. Once I got the hang of it, everything fell into place.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I’d love feedback on:

• How I handled the animations — does it look smooth or a bit too much?
• Is my code organized well, or should I break it into smaller pieces?
• Any better ways to simulate or handle loading without manually adding delays?

Thanks for checking it out!
