wtf is viragospirits-nextjs?

Virago Spirits is a conceptual luxury spirits brand website that doubles as a demonstration of a complete ecommerce storefront. The goal was to go beyond basic UI development and build a content-driven, CMS-powered experience with a strong focus on branding and user experience. It is not tied to a real product: it simulates how a real premium brand website would work. The site includes a fully functional shopping cart where users can add, update, and remove items, with a sticky order summary that stays visible as they scroll. The order summary breaks down subtotals, tax, and shipping. Product data, including listings, images, pricing, descriptions, and categories, is managed through Sanity CMS (a headless content management system, meaning it stores and delivers content separately from the frontend). Because it is headless, the content can be updated in real time without redeploying the site, and non-technical editors can make changes through Sanity's interface. The frontend uses Next.js with the App Router, a popular framework for building fast, server-rendered websites, styled with Tailwind CSS, a utility-based styling library that speeds up responsive design. Icons come from Heroicons, and cart data persists across page visits using the browser's Local Storage. The app is written in TypeScript. This project is a good reference for developers learning how to integrate a headless CMS with a Next.js storefront, build cart functionality from scratch, and structure a scalable ecommerce frontend.
