  • Styling: Tailwind CSS (responsive utilities)
  • Celebration: react-canvas-confetti (performant animations)

Why This Stack?

Library Alternatives Considered Why Selected
Vite Next.js, CRA ⚡ Faster dev (390ms vs 4.5s), SPA-optimized
Zustand Redux, Jotai 🪶 Lightest (1KB), minimal boilerplate
@dnd-kit react-dnd 📱 Native touch support (critical!)
React Konva Fabric.js 🎮 Game-optimized, better performance

📱 Responsive Design

Mobile (< 768px)

  • Single column layout
  • Full-screen puzzle board
  • Bottom sheet piece tray
  • Optimized piece count (12-35 pieces)
  • Touch gestures with haptic feedback

Tablet (768-1024px)

  • Two-column layout
  • Side panel for pieces
  • Medium piece counts (48-80 pieces)
  • Support for both orientations

Desktop (>= 1024px)

  • Multi-panel layout
  • Keyboard shortcuts
  • Large piece counts (120-300 pieces)
  • Advanced controls

🎨 Design Philosophy

User Experience Principles

  1. Mobile-First: Optimize for touch, enhance for desktop
  2. Progressive Enhancement: Core functionality works everywhere
  3. Performance-Focused: Maintain 60fps during interactions
  4. Accessible: WCAG 2.1 AA compliant
  5. Delightful: Smooth animations and satisfying feedback

Technical Principles

  1. Type Safety: Strict TypeScript throughout
  2. Component Isolation: Single responsibility principle
  3. Performance: Lazy loading, code splitting, memoization
  4. Testability: Unit, integration, and E2E tests
  5. Maintainability: Clear patterns, comprehensive docs

📊 Performance Targets

Metric Target Strategy
First Contentful Paint < 1.5s Code splitting, lazy loading
Time to Interactive < 3s Optimized bundle, critical CSS
Drag Operation FPS 60fps Canvas optimization, layer caching
Puzzle Generation < 3s Web workers, progressive rendering
Bundle Size < 200KB Tree shaking, dynamic imports

🏠 Self-Hosting

This application is designed for localhost self-hosting with zero backend dependencies:

  • ✅ Pure client-side: Everything runs in your browser
  • ✅ No cloud services: No Vercel, Netlify, AWS, etc.
  • ✅ localStorage only: All data stored locally
  • ✅ Privacy-first: Images never leave your machine
  • ✅ Offline capable: Works without internet

See SELF_HOSTING_SETUP.md for detailed setup instructions.

🔐 Security Considerations

  • Client-side only (no backend)
  • No authentication required
  • File validation before processing
  • XSS prevention
  • All processing happens locally
  • Images never uploaded to any server
