Methodologies I use for Single-Page Applications (SPAs)

Responsive

To achieve SPAs responsiveness I use Mobile-First Approach design and test extensively across all devices.

Maintainable

To ensure ease of SPAs maintenance I use a combination of modern best practices coupled with the breakdown of complex logic into smaller individual blocks.

Performant

To accomplish SPAs performance I investigate HTTP requests, optimize all sources for production and avoid unnecessary components re-rendering.

Sample Project - Colour Them All

Website game to colour circles

Colour Them All is a project I created to understand Javascript canvas, it started as a simple attempt to create an animated circle and evolved into a desktop browser game.

The objective is to click on all circles until they change colour, missing a click will reset circle colours.

The biggest challenge I had was with code organization since I wasn't expecting to turn this into an actual project with so many functionalities like changing colour themes, difficulty settings, increasing levels, etc.

I had thought about doing a full refactor but in the end, decided it wasn't needed so I just made sure to protect the variables by wrapping the content in an IIFE and adding some structure so it's not a spaghetti mess.
