🚀I’m excited to share the latest improvements in DevConnect!
✨ What’s new:
Improved repo display in MainFeed — simplified logic, removed useFetchRepos hook, and built cleaner component structure.
CommentBox feature — users can now add comments directly on posts. The functionality is powered by a new createAsyncThunk in the Redux slice and handled cleanly via extraReducers.
UI clarity boost — enhanced layouts with refined styling, making media, likes, and comments easy to read and interact with.
🛠️ The why behind the changes:
Removed unnecessary abstraction (useFetchRepos) to reduce complexity and improve render performance.
Leveraged Redux Toolkit’s createAsyncThunk for robust async handling—just like industry standards .
Ensured a seamless user experience: comment submissions instantly update the feed via optimized state handling.
🔍 What this means for users:
Quick, responsive commenting experience.
Streamlined UI with intuitive layout and feedback.
Clearer codebase = faster iteration for future enhancements.
🙌 Next steps:
- Add delete & edit options for comments
- Style feedback/loading states
- Optimize media previews
Curious to hear your input—what’s your approach to handling real-time comments in web apps?
