Details about some specific challenges
Implementation of Tabler icons (code component)
Tabler icons are an amazing library with thousands of icons that I knew that I wanted to implement for AccentFolio. That's why I wrote a code component that makes it super easy, not just to add Tabler icons, also allows you to modify their size, color and thickness. But one of my favorite features is that creates automation aria-labels for the icon; for example, if an icon is called “building-state” it will add an aria-label with the value “Icon building estate”.
Making SVG illustrations and patterns customizable
To allow the users to modify the colors of the illustrations and patterns, I exported those in SVG, and then I converted the code to JSX, with it, I created code components where I implemented Framer controls to make them customizable.
Adding some humor
Another thing that I wanted to do, is to add some humor, because I believe that humor generates trust. For the next video, I generate a code component that uses Framer Motion to animate the objects rain (that cats).
