I spent some time cleaning up the frontend code and styles to make the app faster and easier to maintain.

Split up bloated pages: Broke down massive files like Item Detail, Recovery Requests, Feed, and Navbar into smaller subcomponents (modals, media previews, contact info, filters). Now editing one UI block won’t risk breaking the whole page.

Fixed React state quirks: Switched Feed categories to derive directly with useMemo to skip extra re-renders, fixed initial edit form state, and added cleanup guards on API calls so navigating away doesn’t trigger memory leak warnings.

Cleaned up the CSS: Replaced duplicated skeleton loaders and empty-state styles across 5 files with shared rules in index.css. Swapped hardcoded colors and overlays across all stylesheets for theme tokens so dark and light modes behave properly everywhere.
