Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Comprehensive Repository Review, UI/UX Audit, Content Planning, and Logo Creation</issue_title>
<issue_description>### 1. Repository Code Review

  • Review all code in the repository with attention to structure, code quality, and adherence to project guidelines (TypeScript strictness, Tailwind usage, Radix UI integration, atomic/component patterns, file organization).
  • Examine every file within the /docs folder and its subfolders, noting documentation quality, real project showcases, team member names, and images.

2. Next.js Project Audit as Professional UI/UX Expert

  • Visit each page and component in the live project one by one.
  • Assess the UI/UX from a professional perspective, including:
    • Layout and navigation consistency
    • Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance)
    • Visual hierarchy, color usage (Radix Colors), typography (Geist Sans/Mono)
    • Responsive design and mobile view (test all pages/components on mobile breakpoints)
    • Dark/light mode support
    • Keyboard navigation and screen reader support

3. Content Review & Planning

  • List all pages/components missing or needing improved content (titles, descriptions, team/project details, documentation, etc.)
  • Based on /docs subfolders, identify real projects, real team member names, and images that should be surfaced on the site.
  • Create a checklist of all content pieces to be written or improved for a complete portfolio experience.

4. Implementation Planning

  • Summarize findings from the above reviews.
  • Plan a detailed implementation list (tasks/subtasks) required to address all identified issues and improvements.
  • Prioritize by impact: start with critical UI/UX and accessibility issues, then major content gaps, then enhancements.

5. Logo Creation with Radix Icons

  • Design a new logo for the website using the Radix Icons library, aiming for a symbol like <⚡️>.
  • Reference: https://www.radix-ui.com/icons
  • Select or combine suitable icons to achieve a distinct, modern look representing "CodeStorm Hub".
  • Add logo assets to the project and update site branding accordingly.

Deliverables

  • Repository-wide code and docs review report
  • Full UI/UX audit (desktop & mobile)

  • Better typography spacing with consistent 8px grid system
  • Professional UI/UX enhancements throughout

🔧 Technical Validation:

  • ✅ Build successful with zero errors
  • ✅ Navigation dropdowns working perfectly

The image path correction logic is confusing and could lead to double slashes. Consider using path.join() or a more explicit approach like checking if the image already starts with '/team-members/' to avoid potential path duplication.

Suggested change
image: member.image.startsWith('/')
? `/team-members${member.image}`
: `/team-members/${member.image}`
image: member.image.startsWith('/team-members/')
? member.image
: `/team-members/${member.image.replace(/^\/+/, '')}`

The regex pattern is hardcoded and brittle. Consider extracting regex patterns to constants or using a more flexible approach that can handle variations in markdown formatting (e.g., different spacing, case variations).

[nitpick] The magic number mx-0.5 and z-10 should be documented or extracted to named constants to clarify their purpose in the logo layout.

The getTechBadgeColor function should be moved to a utility file since it could be reused across multiple components. The color mapping could also be more maintainable using Tailwind CSS variables or a centralized theme configuration.

The line-clamp-3 CSS class may cause accessibility issues for screen readers as it truncates content without providing a way to access the full text. Consider adding an 'expand' functionality or ensuring the full bio is available via alternative means.
