uilding the UI for an Automatic Parking System (React + Gatsby + Motion)

The hard part of a smart-parking UI isn't CRUD — it's trust. When the software orchestrates a machine that physically moves cars, the interface has to make state and motion obvious, or operators won't believe it.

How we approached it:

React + Gatsby for a fast, content-driven front end.
An explicit state machine (idle | moving | parked | retrieving | error) so every screen reflects exactly what the machine is doing.
Motion design mapped to physical movement, so transitions explain rather than decorate.
Unmissable safety states — the dangerous moments are the loudest in the UI.

The result: more cars in less space, with operators who trust the system. One of 200+ products we've shipped (Clutch 5.0).
