- 💡 Designing user-friendly UIs — like enabling message selection and making conversations feel intuitive.
- 🔒 Best practices for handling API keys — like storing them securely using local.properties.
- 🛠️ GitHub repo management — including commits, pushing code, and creating a clean public repo.
- 🐞 Improving debugging skills — especially with network calls and response parsing.
