3 challenges during the development

1. Smooth Scrolling: Implementing smooth scrolling proved to be quite challenging.
2. Navigation: Initially, not every page was designed as a separate screen, causing difficulties with navigation later on. This required significant adjustments.
3. Favorite Functionality: Integrating the favorite feature was initially problematic, especially in conjunction with smooth scrolling. Debugging this without error messages in the console was particularly tough.

3 key learning moments from working on the project

1. Responsivity: Learning to handle different screen sizes and optimize UI design for responsiveness.
2. Firebase Initialization: Exploring and mastering the initialization process for Firebase services was both challenging and rewarding.
3. Provider Implementation: Deepening understanding of state management with Provider and its integration with databases was a significant learning milestone.
