๐Ÿš€ Whatโ€™s New in DevConnect

๐Ÿ“ฅ Media upload revamped โ€“ improved file handling and refreshed UI for smoother post creation via the Dashboard.

๐Ÿ” Refactored backend logic โ€“ streamlined both create & update flows, now using githubRepoName for clarity.

๐Ÿงฉ New hook added โ€“ useFetchRepos neatly fetches GitHub repository data, keeping concerns separated and components clean.

๐Ÿ’ก Why It Matters

โšก๏ธ Upload fast, post faster โ€“ better performance and UX when adding images/videos.

๐Ÿงน Cleaner code = fewer bugs, easier maintenance, and less confusion around repo fields.

โœจ Modular patterns with hooks make fetching GitHub repos reusable and efficient.

๐Ÿ‘€ Whatโ€™s Next?

  • Adding cross-check badges (stars/forks) next to GitHub links.
  • Implementing error/loading feedback in the UI.
  • Building out comments & notifications features.

๐Ÿ’ฌ I'd Love Your Feedback
