Seamless Infinite Scroll
The catalog now features infinite scroll functionality that automatically loads more products as users scroll. Products load automatically when users scroll within 200px of the bottom.
The infinite scroll system includes several performance improvements: product details are efficiently accumulated in memory for smooth scrolling, intelligent page state management tracks loading progress, and proper cleanup prevents memory leaks during extended browsing sessions.
Visual Refresh
The catalog has been refreshed with a cleaner, more usable look and a responsive grid system. Product cards adapt to different screen sizes automatically.
- Platform Detection: Automatic detection of macOS, Windows, and Linux for appropriate keyboard shortcuts
- Responsive Breakpoints: Optimized layouts for mobile (≤768px), tablet (768px-991px), and desktop (≥1200px)
- Flexible Grid System: Product cards automatically adjust their size and layout based on available space
Keyboard Shortcuts for Search
We’ve added keyboard shortcut to streamline the search experience across the catalog. Users can now press ⌘K (macOS) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) to instantly focus the search input, making it faster to search for products without reaching for the trackpad.
Technical Improvements
Enhanced Error Handling & Performance
The application now features improved error handling with graceful degradation, user-friendly error messages, and better resilience to backend service failures. Performance optimizations include lazy loading of product images, efficient state management, and proper cleanup of event listeners and subscriptions..
Enhanced Mobile Search
Mobile users now have access to a dedicated search bar that appears when the sidebar is hidden, ensuring search functionality is always accessible regardless of screen size.
