Just wrapped up my latest web development project: a dynamic Weather Dashboard! ⛅ I wanted to build something that wasn't just functional, but actually felt like a modern app. I integrated the OpenWeatherMap API to fetch real-time data and focused heavily on the user interface. Here are a few of the features I implemented: 🔹 Live API Integration: Used AJAX & jQuery to fetch and parse JSON weather data asynchronously. 🔹 Dynamic UI Elements: The background automatically shifts gradients based on the current weather condition (Sunny, Rainy, Cloudy). 🔹 Dark/Light Mode: Added a seamless theme toggle for better accessibility. 🔹 Search Memory: Built a responsive search history list so users can quickly revisit previous locations. Built with Vanilla JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap 5. Every new project is a step forward in my CS journey, and getting the DOM to react perfectly to live API data was a great challenge to solve.

Staying organized sounds simple—until tasks start piling up. I built this To-Do List Web App to explore how everyday productivity tools can be implemented using core web technologies. The application allows users to: • Add and delete tasks • Mark tasks as completed • See updates instantly without page reload ⚙️ Built using: • HTML • CSS • JavaScript (DOM manipulation & event handling) What made this project interesting was working with real-time DOM updates and ensuring a smooth user experience without relying on any frameworks. Handling dynamic UI updates while keeping the interface responsive and consistent was a key challenge. 🎯 The goal wasn’t just to build a task manager, but to create something simple, fast, and intuitive to use. 🔗 Try it here: https://lnkd.in/g96bhxem This project reflects my focus on building strong fundamentals and translating them into practical, user-focused applications. #WebDevelopment #JavaScript #FrontendDevelopment #Projects #Learning

From Syntax to Seamless UI. ☁️💻 I’ve just wrapped up this Weather Web App, built from the ground up using HTML5, CSS3, and Vanilla JavaScript. While the functionality is key, I wanted to push the boundaries of how a utility app feels. Moving away from standard templates, I engineered this "Premium Dark" interface to give it a cinematic, high-end dashboard vibe. Technical Highlights: Interactive Data Rendering: Leveraging Vanilla JavaScript to bridge the gap between complex weather data and a fluid, user-friendly interface. Custom CSS Architecture: Achieving that deep charcoal aesthetic with high-contrast cyan accents. Responsive Engineering: Ensuring the "Command Center" look remains pixel-perfect across all screen sizes. It’s one thing to design a mockup, but bringing it to life through clean, efficient code is where the real magic happens. 🌙 How do you like this "Command Center" aesthetic for a weather tool? Would love to hear your feedback! 🚀 #WebDevelopment #FrontendDeveloper #JavaScript #CodingLife #HTMLCSS #Programming #PortfolioUpdate #KarachiDevs

The default behaviour of a JavaScript bundler is: put everything in one file. The default behaviour of a user is: only visit one part of your app at a time. Lazy loading bridges the gap between these two realities. What to lazy load: → Components that are not visible on initial render → Heavy third-party libraries used only in specific sections → Routes that users may never visit in a session → Modals, drawers, and overlays (they're hidden until triggered) What NOT to lazy load: → Navigation and layout components (needed on every render) → Content above the fold (lazy loading it creates visible delay) → Error boundaries (need to be ready before errors occur) For instance, a user who visits the dashboard never downloads the settings module. Or a user who never opens the editor never downloads the rich text library. Everyone gets exactly the code they need for their current journey. Lazy loading is not an optimisation. It is the correct default that eager loading overrides. What's the heaviest component you've successfully lazy loaded? #performance #WebOptimisation #web #react #next

🚀 Next.js Pages & Layouts Understanding routing and layout in Next.js can feel tricky at first… Here’s a quick breakdown 👇 🧩 Pages (Routing Made Easy) → Every file becomes a route automatically → `/app/home/page.js` → `/home` → No need for React Route 🧱 Layouts (Reusable UI) → Define common UI like Navbar & Footer → Wraps all pages automatically → Keeps UI consistent across app 🔁 Nested Layouts (Scalable Apps) → Create layouts for specific sections → Example: `/dashboard/layout.js` → Perfect for admin panels & dashboards ⚡ Why it matters? ✔ No manual routing ✔ Clean project structure ✔ Reusable components ✔ Better scalability 💡 Build once, reuse everywhere — that’s the power of Next.js layouts! 💬 Are you using App Router or still on Pages Router? #NextJS #React #Frontend #WebDevelopment #JavaScript #SoftwareEngineering #Coding

Server Components in Next.js 15 are changing how we think about rendering on the web. For years, client-side rendering felt like the default for building modern apps: - fetch in the browser - ship more JavaScript - manage loading states everywhere - accept slower first loads as the tradeoff Next.js 15 keeps pushing a different model forward: ✅ render more on the server ✅ send less JavaScript to the client ✅ fetch data closer to where it’s rendered ✅ improve performance without sacrificing interactivity Does this mean client-side rendering is dead? Not exactly. Client-side rendering still makes sense for: - highly interactive UI - real-time experiences - complex client state - browser-only APIs But the default is shifting. The better question is no longer: “Should I render everything on the client?” It’s: “What actually needs to be on the client?” That’s the real promise of Server Components: use the client only where it adds value, not by default. For teams building with Next.js 15, this can mean: - faster initial page loads - smaller bundles - simpler data fetching patterns - a cleaner separation between server and client logic We’re moving toward a web where JavaScript is used more intentionally. Not the end of client-side rendering. Just the end of using it everywhere. #nextjs #react #webdevelopment #frontend #javascript #servercomponents #performance #softwareengineering #WebDevelopment #TypeScript #Frontend #JavaScript

 Is "Pretext" the Future of Web Performance❓ If you've ever built a complex UI with dynamic text, you’ve likely hit the "Performance Wall." One library is currently breaking the internet by offering a way over that wall: Pretext. Created by Cheng Lou (former React core member), Pretext has gained over 16,000 GitHub stars in just 24 hours. Here is why the entire dev community is talking about it. 🔗 Pretext: https://lnkd.in/dtqiu8ZE 🔗 Live demos: https://lnkd.in/dV5ZPPAK ❓ What is Pretext? Pretext is a high-performance text layout engine for the web. Unlike traditional methods that rely on the browser's Document Object Model (DOM) to figure out where text should go, Pretext handles the layout logic itself. ⚠️ The Problem: The "Layout Reflow" Nightmare In a standard web app, if you want to know how wide a piece of text is, you ask the DOM. This triggers a Layout Reflow—one of the most expensive operations a browser can perform. The browser has to stop everything, recalculate dimensions, and reposition every element on the page. This is why virtual lists, masonry layouts, and fluid UIs often feel "laggy" or "choppy" when scrolling or resizing. 🛠️ How Does It Solve This? Pretext takes a radical "DOM-less" approach to measurement: Canvas-Based Measurement: It uses the Canvas API to measure text segments, which is significantly faster than DOM-based queries. One-Time Preparation: It performs the "heavy lifting" (normalizing whitespace and segmenting text) just once. Pure Arithmetic: Once measured, it uses pure mathematical calculations and cached data to handle layouts. It essentially tells the browser where to put text, rather than asking the browser where it thinks the text should go. Are you excited to try Pretext in your next project, or do you think the DOM is still king?

I had a bit of a controversial realization in my web development class recently. We were learning jQuery, and honestly? For certain tasks, it just felt better and more intuitive than the heavy abstraction of React. I wanted to see if I could build something that had the structured feel of a modern framework, but similar to the lean, direct jQuery I was enjoying. Plus I wanted to experimement with Blueprint style components which I had in my mind. The result is TardisJS (because it’s smaller on the outside). It’s a blueprint-first frontend framework I built from scratch. Instead of JSX, you write .tardis files that strictly separate state, methods, styles (with native Tailwind mapping), and UI. 🔗 Docs & Live Demo: https://lnkd.in/gzvSWK-q 💻 GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gKQFS9cG
