Overview
PahamiDulu is a bilingual (Bahasa Indonesia + English) health awareness web application designed to educate the public about common health conditions and special needs. The app helps reduce stigma, prevent mishandling, and guide people to professional help.
The name “PahamiDulu” means “Understand First” in Indonesian — reflecting the core mission: before judging or acting, understand.
Why I Built This
Health misinformation and stigma are prevalent in Indonesia. Many people don’t know how to respond appropriately to conditions like autism, ADHD, hypertension, or diabetes. PahamiDulu bridges this gap by providing clear, actionable guidance in a language people understand.

Approach
Content-First Architecture
All health content lives in data files, and routes render from them. This separation of content from presentation makes it easy to add new topics without touching application code, and enables non-technical contributors to update content.
Bilingual Strategy
Content uses a simple { id: string; en: string } structure rather than a full i18n library — appropriate for content that doesn’t change frequently. Language preference persists in localStorage via Zustand.
