The platform follows a component-based architecture with:

• Layout Components: Reusable UI elements like headers, footers, and navigation
• Interactive Components: Specialized components for code examples, quizzes, and media players
• Content Components: Components for displaying text, images, and structured content
• Utility Components: Helper components for common functionality

Key Components

1. Live Code Editor: Embedded code playground using Sandpack
2. Audio Player: Custom audio player for lesson content
3. Video Player: Integration with YouTube for video tutorials
4. PDF Downloader: Easy access to downloadable resources
5. Progress Tracker: System for monitoring learning progress
6. Discussion Forum: Giscus integration for community discussions

Challenges & Solutions

Language Localization

Challenge: Conveying technical concepts accurately in Bengali while maintaining consistency with English terminology.

Solution: Created a glossary of technical terms with both English and Bengali equivalents, ensuring consistency throughout the platform.

Performance Optimization

Challenge: Ensuring fast loading times with multimedia content and interactive components.

Solution: Implemented lazy loading for images and components, optimized bundle sizes, and used Vercel's CDN for content delivery.
