Problem

I wanted to build a photo-sharing social app from scratch — an Instagram-style experience — to explore feed design, snappy interactions and accessibility done properly, rather than as an afterthought.

Solution

NexShare — 'share the moment, skip the noise' — is a social space for people who make things: a clean photo feed, a discovery grid that filters by taste, creator profiles, and likes and comments with instant, no-reload interactions. It's built with Next.js + React and Tailwind CSS, with a focus on fast feed rendering, intentional motion (with reduced-motion support), keyboard accessibility and semantic HTML. Deployed on Vercel.

Key features

• Clean, fast photo feed
• Discovery grid filtered by topic
• Creator profiles
• Likes & comments with instant interactions
• Follow system
• Accessible — keyboard nav & reduced-motion support

Technology

Results

• Snappy feed rendering and instant interactions
• Accessibility built in from the start, not bolted on
• A polished end-to-end product built solo, for fun
