Introduction
Stride was born from my curiosity about what it takes to build a complete e-commerce platform from scratch — without relying on WordPress or prebuilt systems.
Purpose & Goal
The main goal was to challenge myself to build a robust and scalable online store entirely with code. I wanted to understand the architecture behind real-world e-commerce systems — cart state, checkout logic, product data, and API communication.
Spotlight
The standout feature is the custom shopping cart system, which maintains persistent cart state across sessions and syncs seamlessly with the checkout flow. It’s fast, intuitive, and written with reusable React hooks.
Lessons Learned
This project taught me a great deal about managing state effectively in larger applications, handling asynchronous operations, and creating a UX that feels effortless. It also reinforced the importance of balancing design, performance, and maintainability.
