- Next.js - React framework
Using react-query was quite a challenge. specially in Next.js because I needed to somehow manage using Server Components and Client Components. thankfully react-query already has a solution for this. I'm not sure though if this is a good use if you need to load a long list like I did here in home page.
I also used shadcn/ui for some ui components like dropdown and select which saved some time. althogh required some theming.
I learned about next-theme package which provides theme context and saves a lot of time.
