Project Overview

"UFT1 Tools" (developed under the working title "Wanabusful") is a personal passion project showcasing a suite of browser-based utilities. Built from the ground up with Next.js, this full-stack application demonstrates my skills in modern web development, real-time media processing, and responsive UI design. It’s now live at uft1.com, ready for anyone to explore!

Challenges & Solutions

  • Real-Time Audio Processing: Started with MediaRecorder for audio capture but pivoted to Web Audio API for seamless live delay. Ensured proper stream cleanup to avoid browser issues.

  • Deployment: Successfully deployed to a live domain (uft1.com), optimizing for performance and SEO.

Future Enhancements

  • Complete dark mode with system preference detection.
  • Add new tools like a QR code generator or text formatter.
  • Integrate a waveform visualizer for the audio tool to enhance user experience.
  • Explore analytics to track tool usage and improve features.
