By wrapping this logic in a useMemo hook, it only recalculates when the filter dependencies change, preventing unnecessary UI re-renders and keeping the UI running at a buttery-smooth 60fps.
The Zero-Dollar Stack
Hosting dynamic sites can get expensive quickly. By keeping the architecture completely static, I deployed the entire project onto Vercel's free tier.
- Framework: Next.js (React)
- Styling: Tailwind CSS (purged to keep CSS bundle size under 15KB)
- Database: Git-based JSON files (version controlled and easily updatable via Pull Requests)
- Hosting: Vercel Edge Network
