  Hi Bilal, I would like to give you some feedback! General Improvements Component Naming: Use more descriptive names for components to enhance readability.

  Example: StepOne.vue → UserDetailsStep.vue. StepsCounter.vue → ProgressIndicator.vue.

  State Management: Centralize shared states using a state management library like Vuex or Pinia for better scalability and reusability. Avoid managing global states directly in the App.vue file.

  Validation: Replace manual validation logic with a library like VeeValidate for consistent and scalable form validation.

  Code Organization: Move utility functions (e.g., updateSelectedPlan) into a separate file (e.g., utils.js or helpers.js) to maintain clean and modular code.

  Error Handling: Enhance user experience by adding visual feedback for input errors (e.g., red borders, inline error messages, or tooltips). Component-Specific Improvements

  Reusability: Ensure each step component (StepOne.vue, StepTwo.vue, etc.) is modular and does not duplicate logic. Extract repetitive logic into mixins or composable functions.

  Progress Indicator: Improve the StepsCounter.vue to provide a more dynamic and visually appealing user interface. Configuration and Styling

  Tailwind Config: Review and optimize the tailwind.config.js file to ensure proper use of custom styles and reduce unnecessary configurations.

  Accessibility: Ensure all interactive elements have proper ARIA attributes for accessibility. Use semantic HTML within components to improve screen reader compatibility. Future Enhancements

  Global Error Handling: Add a global error boundary or notification system to capture and display errors gracefully.

  Testing: Implement unit tests for critical components and features to ensure functionality during updates. Performance:

  Optimize component rendering and lazy load steps to improve performance, especially for large forms.

  Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time to go over everything. Here's how I'm thinking of tackling your suggestions:

  Component Naming: You're totally right about the names. I’ll definitely update them to make things clearer. StepOne.vue will become something like UserDetailsStep.vue, and StepsCounter.vue will be renamed to ProgressIndicator.vue. Much more intuitive.

  State Management: I love the idea of using a state management library like Pinia. It's definitely something I’ll work on to keep the state logic clean and easier to scale.

  Validation: I’ve been manually handling validation, but switching to something like VeeValidate would make life a lot easier and more consistent. I’ll integrate it for sure!

  Code Organization: That’s a solid point about moving utility functions into a separate file. I’ll clean things up and create a utils.js or similar file to keep everything modular.

  Error Handling: I agree, the error feedback could be better. I’ll add red borders, inline messages, or tooltips for a clearer user experience when there’s an issue.

  Reusability: I’ll definitely work on making the step components more modular. Using mixins or composables is a good call to avoid repeating code.

  Progress Indicator: The StepsCounter.vue could definitely use some improvements. I’ll work on making the progress indicator more dynamic and visually appealing.

  Tailwind Config: I’ll take another look at the tailwind.config.js file and clean up any unnecessary styles to make everything more efficient.

  Accessibility: This is a big one! I’ll make sure to add the right ARIA attributes and improve the semantic HTML for better screen reader support.

  Global Error Handling: A global error boundary or notification system sounds like a smart move. I'll add something to handle errors more gracefully.

  Testing: Unit tests are something I need to add to ensure everything is working smoothly in the future. I’ll get on that soon.

  Performance: I’ll also work on performance by lazy loading steps and reducing unnecessary renders, especially as the form gets bigger.

  Thanks again for all your great suggestions. I’m excited to get started on these improvements!
