@copilot I want to use nextjs as frontend. Use framer-motion for smooth animations. Not too much tho. Make sure it's responsive for mobile too

I've successfully migrated the frontend to Next.js with Framer Motion animations and full mobile responsiveness!

Key Features Implemented:
Next.js 15 with TypeScript and App Router
Framer Motion for smooth page transitions, form animations, and UI interactions
Fully Mobile Responsive - tested and optimized for mobile devices
Modern Component Architecture with React contexts for state management
Tailwind CSS for styling with custom design tokens
Production-ready build with Docker support

Animations Added:

  • Smooth page transitions between auth and chat views
  • Form animations when switching between login/register
  • Button hover and tap animations
  • Message animations and typing indicators
  • Modal slide-in/out animations
  • Loading spinners with rotation animations

The UI maintains the Discord-like design while being fully responsive across all screen sizes. You can see the mobile responsiveness in the screenshots above.

@copilot continue and fix this first: Send message error: CastError: Cast to ObjectId failed for value "demo-general" (type string) at path "_id" for model "Channel"

Fixed the CastError! The issue was that the frontend was trying to send messages to a hardcoded "demo-general" channel, but this string isn't a valid MongoDB ObjectId. I've updated the SocketContext to handle demo channel messages locally without making backend calls, preventing the CastError while maintaining the demo functionality.
