🧠 Challenges & Learnings
🔄 Adopting the Next.js 15 Ecosystem
Working with experimental features like Partial Prerendering and Server Actions was both exciting and challenging. Since documentation and community resources were still evolving, I had to frequently refer to source code and RFCs to understand internals.
⚙️ Real-Time CMS Syncing
Integrating Sanity’s live preview and dynamic content sync pushed me to better understand GROQ queries and Sanity’s studio architecture. I learned how to optimize content fetches and resolve race conditions during live editing.
🔒 Auth.js Integration
Although Auth.js offered a solid foundation for OAuth, customizing session behavior and securing edge cases (e.g., token expiry) required debugging and patching both server and client logic.
🧩 Design & Component Composition
Using Shadcn UI taught me more about accessible component composition and headless design systems. Creating cohesive animations using Motion.dev also deepened my understanding of motion hierarchy and delay sequencing.
🎯 Outcome
Next Venture was successfully launched as a portfolio project and has been well-received for its clean design, speed, and usability. It stands as a solid demonstration of my full-stack capabilities and my ability to adopt emerging web technologies with confidence.
