Challenges I ran into
🚧 Challenges I Ran Into
While building this Bus Tracking Platform, I encountered several challenges:
1️⃣ Local Storage Limitations 🛑
Since the app is built without a backend, managing data persistence was tricky.
Solution: Optimized the structure of stored data and implemented efficient retrieval methods.
2️⃣ Real-Time Updates Without a Backend ⏳
Ensuring that the dashboard reflects changes instantly without a database.
Solution: Used React state management and localStorage event listeners to sync updates dynamically.
3️⃣ Responsive UI & Layout Issues 📱
Some elements were breaking on smaller screens.
Solution: Implemented Tailwind CSS flex/grid utilities for better responsiveness.
4️⃣ Search Functionality Optimization 🔍
Matching buses based on start and destination locations efficiently.
Solution: Implemented fuzzy search logic to allow partial matches and improve user experience.
