I wanted to create a dedicated platform focused entirely on web projects.</p> <h2> Features </h2> <ul> <li>🌐 Website showcase</li> <li>👨‍💻 Developer profiles</li> <li>⭐ Reviews and ratings</li> <li>❤️ Wishlist</li> <li>🔍 Search and filtering</li> <li>🔔 Notification system</li> <li>📊 Developer dashboard</li> <li>🛡️ Admin approval workflow</li> </ul> <h2> Tech Stack </h2> <ul> <li>React</li> <li>Node.js</li> <li>Express.js</li> <li>MongoDB</li> </ul> <h2> Challenges </h2> <p>Some of the interesting challenges I worked on included:</p> <ul> <li>Designing role-based authentication</li> <li>Building an admin moderation workflow</li> <li>Creating a notification system</li> <li>Optimizing search and filtering</li> <li>Developing responsive user interfaces</li> <li>Managing relationships between users, developers, and websites</li> </ul> <h2> What I Learned </h2> <p>Building WebStore taught me a lot about:</p> <ul> <li>Full-stack application architecture</li> <li>Secure authentication and authorization</li> <li>Database design</li> <li>API development</li> <li>State management</li> <li>UI/UX improvements</li> <li>Performance optimization</li> </ul> <h2> Try It Out </h2> <p>🌐 <strong>WebStore</strong><br> <a href="https://www.webstore.sg247.dev" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.webstore.sg247.dev</a></p> <p>I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!</p> <p>Thanks for reading! 🚀</p> webdev react node mongodb
