Summary

A senior frontend engineer created a user-friendly image hotspot configurator using The Contentful App Framework, which enables easy extension and customization of the Contentful content platform. The goal was to provide a frictionless user experience for content teams. The app allows users to select an image from their media gallery, add hotspots with title and description, and configure coordinates. It also includes features like live preview, drag-and-drop functionality, and admin-only access to stored coordinates. The app is built using React and leverages the Contentful SDK, and it demonstrates how powerful CMS customizations can be in improving user experience.
