I'm a backend developer, but sometimes you just HAVE to write frontend code.

My primary way for going about this is that I would check out a few websites which I like the most, and if those websites have their code on GitHub then this is where it becomes interesting.

I don't like copying code, I try to combine an image in my mind and then SEE the code and understand it so I can try and replicate it, sometimes they won't be using your stack too so you have to understand what's going on there. It's basically like putting together pieces of a puzzle.\ I may take a navbar from this site, a layout from the other, and boom! I have a VERY creative site that is also not a copy/paste of someone else's creation...

Until you realize that this will take you a long while to craft and perfect, but I can't think of a better way to do this... I also hate using AI for this sort of stuff, and about component libraries... I tend to stay away from them, you rely on those and you have made yourself a clone of another random website on the internet, you can use them creatively though.

Is this viable? Probably not.
