Checkpoint Frontend is a service provided by Checkpoint, a startup project that has participated in various competitions and won numerous awards, as shown in the Achievement section below.
Designed for relaxation and personalized experiences, Checkpoint Frontend offers customizable visual scenes, ambient sounds, and music, enabling users to create a calming environment that suits their preferences. To access this service, please visit https://checkpoint.tokyo (currently only available on desktops).
To power this service, Checkpoint Frontend relies on APIs provided by Checkpoint Backend, a RESTful API server that serves as the backend for the website.
This project uses a number of key libraries and cloud services, including:
- ReactJS, a JavaScript library used for building user interfaces.
- React Router, a routing library for React that provides a way to navigate between different components of the application.
- Redux Toolkit, a set of tools built on top of the Redux state management library that simplifies common Redux use cases.
- Firebase Authentication, a user authentication and identity management service.
This project and its associated cloud services are hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), utilizing AWS Amplify for this project, AWS S3 for cloud storage, and AWS CloudFront for CDN.
Checkpoint Frontend is currently up and running, serving many real users daily. However, as new requirements from the Checkpoint team become available, the project will be updated to accommodate the latest changes.

My plan to improve the current version of this project primarily focuses on enhancing the website's aesthetics. The following are the improvements that I plan to do:
- Add micro-interactions to enhance the hover and active states of each component.
- Implement transitions between each component (possibly using the React Transition Group library).
