Challenges & Learnings
Challenges
mplementing the messaging feature in the app proved to be complex and challenging. The process involved understanding the intricate flow of messages, devising a method to store them securely in the database, and establishing an efficient way to retrieve and display them later. This multifaceted task demanded a deep understanding of data flow, database management, and real-time communication protocols, making the implementation process both intricate and demanding.
Ensuring a fully responsive design that mimics Instagram’s fluid layout was tricky, requiring a deep understanding of Tailwind CSS’s utility classes and custom configurations for various screen sizes.
Learnings
Working with Socket.io in NestJS helped me gain a deep understanding of how WebSockets function, especially in implementing real-time message delivery.
Building a complex UI with Tailwind CSS not only improved my front-end skills but also taught me how to create scalable, maintainable design systems using utility-first CSS frameworks.
