Challenges we ran into

1. Designing the Web App: The design aspect of the web app posed several challenges, especially when trying to create a clean, user-friendly, and responsive interface that could handle dynamic content. Since the app allows for image uploads and generates personalized messages, ensuring smooth user interactions while maintaining a visually appealing layout was critical.

Solution: To tackle this, we adopted a native css instead of tailwind and some insane tweaking to fit for our application.

2. AI Integration (Gemini Model): Integrating AI, specifically the Gemini model, was one of the more complex parts of the project. While the model was powerful in generating creative content, we faced significant hurdles in ensuring the prompt was passed seamlessly between pages without causing issues like content being scattered or filled with random data. The main problem was ensuring that the generated message, which was passed through URL parameters, didn’t lose its structure or get corrupted when redirected.
   Solution:We spent a lot of time understanding how to properly encode and decode URL parameters to maintain the integrity of the generated prompt and other query parameters, we still are very confused and have a lot of doubts
