🚀 I Built ShopVerse – A Complete E-Commerce Website from Scratch!

#productivity #webdev #javascript #learning

Hey devs!
After 5 intense days of pushing code, battling bugs, and refusing to let my back pain or caffeine withdrawal win 😤—I’m super excited to finally share my latest project:

🎯 ShopVerse – Live Demo

🧠 What is ShopVerse?

ShopVerse is a responsive front-end e-commerce site that mimics real-world online shopping platforms. It’s designed to not just display products but to offer a complete and dynamic user experience — from browsing to checkout, all on the front end.

🔍 Features Overview

🛒 Core Shopping Experience

Product listing with images, prices, and star ratings
Interactive cart system with quantity selection (1–3)
Checkout page with live delivery price and summary calculations
Dynamic order tracking page showing animated shipment status

✨ UI & UX Enhancements

3D particle background using Three.js
Smooth scroll/hover animations for product cards
LocalStorage support for cart/order persistence across sessions
Friendly UI prompts (Empty cart states, order confirmations)

🧱 Tech Stack

HTML5 + CSS3
JavaScript (ES6 Modules)
Three.js – 3D particle background
Day.js – Delivery date calculations
LocalStorage API – Cart/order persistence

Project structure includes modular scripts like:

products.js, cart.js, deliveryOptions.js
Separate JS files for each page: checkout.js, tracking.js, etc.
Organized styling across global & page-specific folders

🛠 What I Learned

Modularizing JavaScript logic for better readability & reusability
Handling client-side state (cart/orders) using LocalStorage effectively
Integrating visual libraries (Three.js) in vanilla JS projects
UI/UX fine-tuning: user flows, edge case handling, mobile-first design

😅 The Grind Behind It

Let’s be honest: it looks like a basic store on the surface, right?

But trust me, it was so much more than a clone —
I rebuilt components, animated states, and gave it a soul of its own.

💤 4 sleepless nights
💢 5 days of coding + back pain
💧 Only water (no caffeine!)
🎧 Podcasts + pure grit

Shoutout to SuperSimpleDev for a clear foundational path and the motivation to keep going!
