Challenges we ran into

1. API Integration: Ensuring seamless communication between the Next.js frontend and Django backend presented challenges, especially regarding data format consistency, error handling, and authentication mechanisms.

2. Responsiveness: Achieving a responsive design that looks and functions well across various devices and screen sizes required careful planning and implementation, especially considering the differences in layout and styling approaches between Next.js and Django.

3. State Management: Choosing an appropriate state management solution that works efficiently with both Next.js and Django, especially when handling complex application states and data flow.

4. Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS): Managing CORS policies between the Next.js frontend and Django backend to allow secure communication between the two environments without compromising security.
