Executed an ambitious parallel development strategy using git worktrees to simultaneously build 6 major feature streams (design system, CMS, content pages, interactive features, user features, animations) and successfully integrated them all into a cohesive Next.js application with comprehensive testing and performance optimization.

Highlights

  • Implemented comprehensive parallel development plan with 6 development streams using git worktrees

  • Built complete design system with 16 UI components and 98.67% test coverage

  • Developed full Sanity CMS infrastructure with schemas, queries, and utilities

  • Created interactive features including fuzzy search, event calendar, and filtering system

  • Implemented user authentication, bookmarks, and reading progress tracking

  • Added animations and performance optimization infrastructure with Framer Motion

  • Successfully integrated all 6 feature streams with dependency resolution and build fixes

Technical Decisions

  • Adopted git worktrees strategy for true parallel development across 6 feature streams

  • Chose comprehensive testing approach with Jest achieving >95% coverage across all metrics

  • Implemented Zustand for state management in interactive features

  • Selected Sanity CMS as headless content management solution with custom schemas

  • Integrated NextAuth.js for authentication with multiple provider support

  • Used Framer Motion for animation system with performance budgets and Lighthouse CI

Learning Moments

  • Explored advanced git worktree workflows for managing parallel development streams

  • Implemented multi-agent orchestration approach with specialized agents per worktree

  • Experimented with fuzzy search using Fuse.js with weighted search scoring

  • Applied comprehensive design token system for consistent UI styling

  • Learned FullCalendar integration with timezone support and ICS export functionality
