General Implementation Tips

Getting Started with Any Project

npm create svelte@latest my�project

2. Add essential dependencies:

npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autopref�xer

3. Start with the core data models: Define your main data structures before building UI components

4. Build a component library: Create reusable UI components (buttons, cards, inputs) before full
screens

5. Implement storage early: Set up your storage solution (IndexedDB/localStorage) with proper data
models

Recommended Learning Path

• Review SvelteKit documentation

2. Project-specific concepts
• Canvas manipulation (for Visual Quote Creator)

• IndexedDB with Dexie.js (for all projects with data persistence)

• CSS animations and transitions

• SVG manipulation (for Guitar Chord Library)

• Three.js basics (for Rubik's Cube Guide)

3. Tooling
• Vite configuration

• Tailwind CSS setup and customization

• PWA implementation with Vite plugin

Development Strategy
For any project you choose:

1. Start small: Build one core feature completely

2. Use iterative development: Get a minimal version working, then enhance

3. Focus on UI/UX early: A polished interface makes a project stand out

4. Document as you go: Record challenges and solutions for portfolio content

5. Seek feedback early: Share work-in-progress with peers or communities
