Nice to have - Building drag-and-drop editors or page builders. - Integrating with social platforms such as Meta APIs or developing WordPress plugins. - Understanding of consent and opt-in requirements like GDPR and double opt-in. - Bot and abuse protection for public forms. - Shipping AI-powered features or using AI-assisted development tools day to day.
