So instead of just complaining about connection timeouts, I decided to build a lightweight campus gateway project on my laptop to test out how to fix those friction points.</p> <p>Starting tomorrow, I’m kicking off a short "Building in Public" series breaking down the project step-by-step. I'll be sharing:</p> <ul> <li>Why we skipped heavy JS frameworks for plain HTML/vanilla JS to save load times</li> <li>How we used native browser APIs to handle cross-tab sync and offline file queues</li> <li>Real lessons from using AI tools (Claude, Gemini, GPTs) as pair-programmers to speed up build time</li> </ul> <p>Posting Day 0 (the architecture &amp; retrospective) tomorrow!</p> <p>If you like reading about system design, web performance, or scrappy student projects, drop a connection—would love to hear how you handle these kinds of builds! </p> webdev javascript beginners learning
