Building Scalable UI with React Props

Small update on my project: Today I focused on improving the frontend structure. I worked on: - product section UI - footer - smaller reusable components - refining the overall design to make it look more professional Nothing big, but these small improvements are making the project feel more real and structured. I’m still not connecting everything yet — focusing first on building a clean and solid UI. Next step: start integrating backend APIs. Slow progress, but consistent. How do you approach projects — build everything first or connect things step by step? #ReactJS #FrontendDevelopment #WebDevelopment #FullStackDevelopment #UIUX #LearnInPublic #CodingJourney #MERN

🚀 Just launched my own npm package – auto-loading-skeleton! As frontend developers, we often spend too much time creating loading skeletons manually… repeating the same work again and again. So I built something to simplify that. 👉 auto-loading-skeleton automatically generates skeleton loaders based on your UI — saving time, reducing boilerplate, and improving UX effortlessly. ✨ Why I built this: Manual skeleton creation is repetitive Takes unnecessary development time Hard to maintain consistency 💡 What it solves: Auto-detects UI structure Generates clean loading states Helps you focus on real features instead of loaders 🔗 NPM Package: https://lnkd.in/d6md6zW6 🌐 Demo: https://lnkd.in/dkUTbRfN Would love your feedback and support 🙌 If you find it useful, do give it a ⭐ #react #Frontend #WebDevelopment #JavaScript #OpenSource #UIUX #DeveloperTools #npm

Shipped a few performance improvements this week. Started from one important part: the critical rendering path. I thought: if I don’t know what blocks first paint, I'm optimizing blindly. ✅ Code splitting - Removed non-critical UI (dialogs, popovers, interaction-only components) from the initial bundle and lazy loaded them. ✅ Network requests Audited every fetch with two questions: → Does this need to happen now? → Does it need to happen this often? - Found a Stripe call firing on every popover open. The response is stable within a session → now fetched once and reused. - Replaced fixed polling with exponential backoff for async processes. Same outcome, fewer requests. ✅ Skeleton screens: They don’t make data faster, but they improve perceived performance and reduce drop-off. #webperformance #frontend #reactjs #nextjs #performance #ux #developers #softwareengineering #buildinpublic #webengineering #webdevelopment #javascript #webdev --- I post about web engineering, front-end and soft skills in development.

I didn’t want another “scroll + cards” portfolio. So I built mine like a tool I actually use every day — an IDE inspired by VS Code File explorer 📂 • Tabs 🗂️ • Command palette ⌘ • Themes 🎨 • Copilot-style panel 🤖 Not for aesthetics — but to rethink how developers *navigate and read* content. It forced me to focus on: ⚡ Layout performance ⌨️ Keyboard-first interactions 🧭 Real navigation state (not just sections on a page) Built with React + Vite, structured like a small product — not a landing page. 🔗 https://mohitkuril.xyz/ If the UI feels familiar, that’s intentional 😉 If you notice anything in the UI/UX or functionality that could be improved, I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback — feel free to reach out and discuss. What would you add to a command palette in your own portfolio? #FrontendDevelopment #ReactJS #WebDevelopment #UIDesign

When I first started my software journey, I was completely obsessed with the UI. I spent hours on smooth animations, perfect responsiveness, glassmorphism, and mastering every new Tailwind trick I could find. It was good to learn, but I was just scratching the surface. The real test hits when you actually have to build the logic. I am not just talking about the backend. When you start building full platforms with Next.js and Supabase, you realize the design is just a fraction of the work. The real engineering is managing complex state across the frontend. It is handling secure auth flows, dealing with tricky cart logic, and writing data queries that do not freeze the app when a user clicks a button. If I plan a three-week project today, the design and UI might take less than a week. The remaining two weeks are spent entirely in the trenches figuring out the logic, data flow, and system structure. Bottom line: Learn the design tricks. It is fine to want things to look good. But learn the fundamentals of logic first. How you think as a developer completely dictates the type of architecture you build. Anyway, late night profile picture update. Let us keep building. #BuildInPublic #SoftwareEngineering #Nextjs #React

Whether you're building a complex dashboard or a simple search bar, UI jank is the ultimate vibe-killer. If you've ever felt like your app was "stuttering" because a heavy UI update was fighting with user input, useDeferredValue is about to become your new best friend. Here’s the breakdown of why this hook is a game-changer for React performance. 🚀 💡 The Problem: Blocking the Main Thread Normally, React updates are urgent. If a user types into an input and that input triggers a massive re-render (like filtering a list of 10,000 items), the typing feels "laggy" because React is too busy rendering the list to handle the keystrokes. ✨ The Solution: useDeferredValue This hook allows you to mark a piece of state as non-urgent. It tells React: "Hey, keep the input feeling snappy. Update the heavy UI when you have a spare moment." 🛠️ How it works: 1. React updates the "urgent" state (the input text) immediately. 2. It then attempts to render the "deferred" value in the background. 3. If the user types again before the background render finishes, React interrupts the old render and starts over with the new value. ⚡ When to use it? Expensive Re-renders: When a part of your UI is slow to render and there's no way to further optimize the component itself. Search/Filtering: Keeping the search input responsive while the results list "catches up." Third-party integrations: When you're passing data to a library that you don't have performance control over. Pro-Tip: For the best UX, pair it with React.memo on the component receiving the deferred value. This ensures the component only re-renders when the deferred value actually changes! Have you made the switch from traditional debouncing to useDeferredValue yet?

Most frontend developers stop at UI. But real growth starts when you build systems. Recently, I worked on a Question Paper Generator where users can: • Create sections and parts • Add instructions dynamically • Manage complex question structures The hardest part wasn’t design. It was handling flexibility + real-time preview without breaking the structure. What I learned: UI is just the surface Data structure is the real game Good UX = clear logic + smooth flow If you're only focusing on design, you're missing 50% of frontend. What do you think matters more — UI or logic? #reactjs #frontenddeveloper #webdevelopment #javascript #nextjs

#FrontendFridays - Loading to Success Button This week, I built a simple yet practical UI interaction that transitions a button from a loading state to a success state. This pattern is commonly used in real-world scenarios like form submissions and API calls to provide clear user feedback. Key highlights: • Loading spinner with disabled state • Smooth transition to success feedback • Auto reset after completion • Lightweight and reusable component Live Demo: https://lnkd.in/gZ2jgKYy Continuing to explore small UI interactions that improve user experience with minimal code. #FrontendFridays #FrontendDevelopment #WebDevelopment #UIUX #JavaScript #CSS #HTML

Shipped a major revamp of my full-stack portfolio, with a strong focus on architecture, maintainability, and performance. Instead of just polishing UI, I treated this like a production refactor. Engineering-focused updates ~Refactored UI into reusable, domain-oriented React components. ~Improved route structure and app composition for cleaner navigation flow. ~Consolidated styling patterns for better consistency and easier iteration. ~Reduced visual and code complexity by removing redundant patterns. ~Reworked sections to be easier to extend as new projects/features are added. Why this matters, I wanted the portfolio to reflect how I build real products: -clean component boundaries -scalable frontend structure -performance-aware implementation -developer-friendly codebase for future iteration This revamp is now a stronger base for upcoming additions (new case studies, richer interactions, and deeper full-stack project showcases). If you’re a developer, I’d love your take: When you revisit your portfolio, do you prioritize new features or refactoring first?

I have something funny to share to my LinkedIn family. In a meeting today, someone said: “Niloy is the UI guy, we should ask him to build the frontend. He makes websites easy to navigate.” Funny part? I’m actually a backend guy. Yes, I’ve built UIs in the past… but the “easy to navigate” part doesn’t come from frontend expertise alone. It comes from a simple rule I follow: 👉 If something doesn’t feel right to me, it won’t feel right to anyone. I genuinely believe you are your biggest critic and I use that every single day. My strategy is simple: When I present something, it should be clear enough for a 10-year-old to understand. Because at the end of the day, great software isn’t about complexity… It’s about clarity. And clarity comes from empathy - the ability to step into someone else’s shoes and see what they see. That applies to UI, backend, architecture and honestly, life. Signing off: Not just building systems but building experiences that actually make sense. #SoftwareEngineering #DeveloperByHeart #UserExperience #EmpathyInTech #CleanDesign #ProblemSolving #TechMindset #DeveloperLife
