Fixing React Layout Shift Issues Caused by Late Loading Content

I’ve finally got access to Claude Design and it is mind-blowing 🤯 I was worried the waitlist would be long, but getting access this quickly has really supercharged my creative flow. It essentially acts as a frontend partner. You give it a component structure and design cues, and it instantly generates real code and an interactive prototype. As someone working with React, Tailwind CSS, and n8n on custom business tools like my recent clinic management system, Claude Design is an absolute game-changer for speed and creativity. The ability to move seamlessly from an idea to a fully functional, high-fidelity React prototype (built on Tailwind) is incredible. For software developers or anyone working on UI/UX, the feedback loop goes from days to seconds. This is what the future of frictionless app design looks like! Highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking to boost your efficiency in development. #ClaudeDesign #AI #React #TailwindCSS #FrontendDevelopment #SoftwareEngineering #FutureOfWork

What is useDeferredValue? useDeferredValue is a React Hook that returns a deferred version of a value — meaning React can postpone updating it until more important work is done. const deferredValue = useDeferredValue(value); When value changes: - React first renders with the old value - then updates the deferred value in the background This makes the UI feel responsive, even if some parts are slow. There is the example on the screenshot and there: - input updates immediately (high priority) - results update later (low priority) useDeferredValue is about prioritization. That small shift makes a huge difference in real-world UX — especially in data-heavy or interactive apps. #react #frontend #webdev #javascript #reactjs #performance

💡 Did you know? Even if your API responds in just 50ms, users might still feel your app is slow. Why? Because rendering, JavaScript parsing, and main thread blocking can silently add delays after the response arrives. 🚀 Optimizing backend speed isn’t enough focus on frontend performance too for a truly fast UX.⚡ #Didyouknow #Devoticlabs #WebPerformance #Frontend #JavaScript

So , I was using Ola's web app recently and ran into something just felt off . The map was there… but locked inside a tiny, unusable box. No resize option. No fullscreen button. No settings to fix it. At that moment, I thought: Why are we not able to do this? And more importantly… Why not just build it myself? So I did. Created a simple bookmarklet (a bookmark + JavaScript) that: → Injects a button into the page → Lets me expand the map instantly → And even toggle it back when needed No extensions. No dependency , no waiting . Just one click. It’s a small thing, but it reminded me of something important: Sometimes the best solutions don’t come from waiting — they come from taking control of the tools you already use. Though it would be nice , if Ola's people fix it , it’s a simple fix .  For now Sharing the code here : https://lnkd.in/ghcF7CNE Would love to know — what’s a small UX problem you’ve always wanted to fix? #WebDevelopment #JavaScript #Frontend #UI #UX #UserExperience #WebDesign #Technology #Developers #Coding #DigitalExperience

Most frontend apps assume everything will go right. Production proves otherwise. In Part 2 of this series, I dig into why your frontend needs a safety net, not just clean code and optimistic assumptions. Because APIs fail, users behave unpredictably, and edge cases don’t politely announce themselves. We often focus on happy paths and ship fast. That works until it doesn’t. A resilient frontend plans for failure, contains it, and recovers without dragging the user down with it. This piece breaks down practical patterns to handle errors, manage uncertainty, and build interfaces that don’t fall apart under pressure. Not theory, just what actually holds up in production. If your UI has ever blanked out, frozen, or quietly lied to users, this is worth your time.

A common UX pain point I often notice in Next.js Server Components 👇 When a user clicks a link, Next.js navigates to something like /link/[id]. If that route is a Server Component, it runs the DB queries on the server before sending any HTML back to the browser. During that fetch time, the UI often shows no immediate feedback, which can make the app feel stuck or unresponsive. The fix is surprisingly simple ✨ Just add a loading.tsx file. This is a built-in Next.js convention. For example: app/projects/[id]/loading.tsx The moment navigation starts, Next.js instantly renders this loading UI while the server component fetches data in the background. This small addition makes navigation feel significantly faster and smoother. Sometimes great UX is not about speeding up the backend it’s about making the wait feel seamless. 😊 That’s one of the things I really appreciate about how NextJs handles Server Components so elegantly. #nextjs #react #webdevelopment #frontend #ux #javascript #fullstack #developerexperience

🚀 Excited to Share My Ongoing Project! I’m currently working on a web application that I’m really passionate about. While it’s still a work in progress and some features are not fully complete yet, I wanted to share a preview of what I’ve built so far. 💻 This project reflects my learning, experimentation, and continuous improvement in modern web development. ✨ What’s done so far: - Core UI/UX design implemented - Basic functionality working - Responsive layout for better user experience 🔧 What’s coming next: - Advanced features & optimization - Performance improvements - More user-friendly interactions I’d love to get your feedback, suggestions, or ideas to improve this project further. Your support means a lot! 🔗 Check it out here: https://raangalay.com #WebDevelopment #MERN #NextJS #FrontendDevelopment #LearningInPublic #BuildInPublic #DeveloperJourney

🧠 Built a Real Estate Web App using Angular Here’s a quick walkthrough of Back & Forth Realtors 🏡 This project is inspired by a simple idea: Every meaningful decision happens through a back-and-forth exchange. In real estate, this shows up in negotiations between buyers and sellers—and I wanted to reflect that experience through a clean and structured UI. 🎯What I focused on: Smooth navigation Clean and responsive design Component-based Angular structure 🎬 Every move matters… Back & Forth 🔁🤙🔥 Focused on creating meaningful user experiences 🚀 #Angular #FrontendDevelopment #WebDevelopment #UIUX #Projects

Quick tip for React Native devs: choose the right list component for performance. If your content is static or small (a handful of items), ScrollView is fine — simple, straightforward, and easy to style. But for long or dynamic lists, FlatList is the winner: it virtualizes rows, only renders what's on-screen, and dramatically reduces memory and JS work. Best practices: - Use keyExtractor and avoid anonymous inline functions to reduce re-renders. - Implement getItemLayout when item heights are fixed to enable faster scroll-to-index. - Use initialNumToRender and maxToRenderPerBatch to tune startup vs. runtime behavior. - Memoize row components (React.memo/PureComponent) and avoid passing changing props. - Consider windowSize for trade-offs between memory and scroll smoothness. Measure, don’t guess: profile with Flipper/React DevTools and test on lower-end devices. Small choices early (rendering strategy, memoization, layout hints) pay off hugely in real-world UX. #ReactNative #Perfomance #Optimization #MobileDevelopment
