Next.js 15 with TypeScript
Styling
TailwindCSS with custom animations
3D Graphics
Three.js and React Three Fiber
Animations
GSAP, Framer Motion
Performance
Dynamic loading and code splitting
Key Features
1. Advanced Animation System
export const TextGenerateEffect = ({
words,
className,
filter = true,
duration = 0.5,
}) => {
const [scope, animate] = useAnimate();
useEffect(() => {
animate(
"span",
{
opacity: 1,
filter: filter ? "blur(0px)" : "none",
},
{
duration: duration ? duration : 1,
delay: stagger(0.2),
}
);
}, [scope.current]);- Implemented custom text generation effects
- Created smooth scroll animations using GSAP
- Developed a custom preloader with percentage-based loading
2. Interactive Grid Layout
const Grid = () => {
return (
<section id="about">
<BentoGrid className="w-full py-20">
{gridItems.map((item, i) => (
<BentoGridItem
id={item.id}
key={i}
title={item.title}
description={item.description}
className={item.className}
/>
))}
</BentoGrid>
</section>
);
};Technical Challenges & Solutions
1. Performance Optimization
Challenge:
Managing multiple animations and real-time updates while maintaining performance.
Solution:
- Implemented code splitting and lazy loading
- Used React Suspense for component loading
- Optimized animation frame rates
- Added debouncing for cursor position updates
2. Real-time Synchronization
Challenge:
Maintaining accurate cursor positions across devices.
Solution:
- Implemented percentage-based positioning
- Added viewport normalization
- Created smooth interpolation for position updates
- Handled connection drops and reconnections
