Today’s focus was on creating the Profile Page UI, which forms a key component of user interaction and personalization in the Instagram clone. After completing the homepage and feed functionality, this session, like the previous one, followed a mentor-led code-along approach, ensuring the Profile Page was built with precision and industry standards in mind.
The Profile Page UI was designed to showcase user-specific information, including profile picture, bio, and the user's post grid. I started by defining a clean and organized layout, ensuring that all profile elements were easily accessible and visually appealing. The post grid, in particular, was styled to adapt responsively, presenting posts in a neat, scrollable format across devices.
I followed a test-driven development (TDD) approach, where test cases guided the implementation of key functionalities like rendering user details, handling profile data, and ensuring smooth navigation. This helped in maintaining code quality while simultaneously building a visually consistent and dynamic interface.
By the end of the session, the Profile Page was fully designed, with dynamic placeholders ready to pull actual user data in the next development phase. This marks a major milestone in enhancing user engagement and delivering a personalized experience. Moving forward, I will work on integrating the backend to fetch real-time user data for the profile.
