Hey devs!
After 5 intense days of pushing code, battling bugs, and refusing to let my back pain or caffeine withdrawal win 
—I’m super excited to finally share my latest project:
What is ShopVerse?
ShopVerse is a responsive front-end e-commerce site that mimics real-world online shopping platforms. It’s designed to not just display products but to offer a complete and dynamic user experience — from browsing to checkout, all on the front end.
Features Overview
Core Shopping Experience
- Product listing with images, prices, and star ratings
- Interactive cart system with quantity selection (1–3)
- Checkout page with live delivery price and summary calculations
- Dynamic order tracking page showing animated shipment status
UI & UX Enhancements
- 3D particle background using Three.js
- Smooth scroll/hover animations for product cards
- LocalStorage support for cart/order persistence across sessions
- Friendly UI prompts (Empty cart states, order confirmations)
Tech Stack
- HTML5 + CSS3
- JavaScript (ES6 Modules)
- Three.js – 3D particle background
- Day.js – Delivery date calculations
- LocalStorage API – Cart/order persistence
Project structure includes modular scripts like:
-
products.js,cart.js,deliveryOptions.js - Separate JS files for each page:
checkout.js,tracking.js, etc. - Organized styling across global & page-specific folders
Preview
What I Learned
- Modularizing JavaScript logic for better readability & reusability
- Handling client-side state (cart/orders) using LocalStorage effectively
- Integrating visual libraries (Three.js) in vanilla JS projects
- UI/UX fine-tuning: user flows, edge case handling, mobile-first design
The Grind Behind It
Let’s be honest: it looks like a basic store on the surface, right?
But trust me, it was so much more than a clone —
I rebuilt components, animated states, and gave it a soul of its own.
4 sleepless nights
5 days of coding + back pain
Only water (no caffeine!)
Podcasts + pure grit
Shoutout to SuperSimpleDev for a clear foundational path and the motivation to keep going!
What’s Next?
Add user authentication
Wishlist & product filtering
Add backend or integrate Firebase
Real payment gateway integration
Move to full-stack with Node.js or Django
