πŸš€ What’s New in DevConnect

πŸ“₯ Media upload revamped – improved file handling and refreshed UI for smoother post creation via the Dashboard.

πŸ” Refactored backend logic – streamlined both create & update flows, now using githubRepoName for clarity.

🧩 New hook added – useFetchRepos neatly fetches GitHub repository data, keeping concerns separated and components clean.

πŸ’‘ Why It Matters

⚑️ Upload fast, post faster – better performance and UX when adding images/videos.

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

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

πŸ‘€ What’s Next?

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

πŸ’¬ I'd Love Your Feedback

How do you handle media file uploads and GitHub data in your web apps? Any best practices or libraries you'd recommend?
