Aim: To practice building a fully interactive comment system with CRUD functionality and persistent state.

Overview: A responsive comments section allowing users to add, reply, edit, delete, and vote on comments. All interactions are saved locally, demonstrating full CRUD behavior without a backend.

Skills Strengthened: DOM Manipulation | Event Handling | State Management | Local Storage Persistence | Responsive Design | Modular JavaScript

Challenges & Solutions:

• Challenge: Preventing event stacking and maintaining consistent state across dynamic elements → Solution: Implemented careful event delegation and state syncing strategies.
• Challenge: Persisting user interactions across page reloads → Solution: Used localStorage to save and load comment data efficiently.
• Challenge: Handling UI responsiveness and modal interactions → Solution: Modularized components and applied CSS best practices for dynamic layouts and modals.

Key Takeaways: Learned to manage complex interactive UIs, maintain consistent state across dynamic elements, and implement persistent CRUD functionality without a backend.
