From 06c7485a7d05de86f9898e388161e8d932d5f3e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Stone Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 14:28:50 -1000 Subject: Modernize frontend with tabs, HTMX, and Tailwind build pipeline Complete UI overhaul implementing modern design patterns with HTMX for dynamic updates, proper Tailwind build pipeline, and improved UX. Build Pipeline: - Add npm + PostCSS + Tailwind CSS configuration - Custom design system with brand colors - Compiled CSS: 27KB (vs 3MB CDN), 99% reduction - Makefile for unified build commands - Inter font for improved typography Tab Interface: - Separate Tasks tab from Notes tab using HTMX - Partial page updates without full refreshes - Tab state management with proper refresh handling - New endpoints: /tabs/tasks, /tabs/notes, /tabs/refresh Template Architecture: - Modular partials system (7 reusable components) - Cleaner separation of concerns Empty Board Management: - Active boards in main 3-column grid - Empty boards in collapsible section - Reduces visual clutter Visual Design Enhancements: - Inter font, brand color accents - Improved typography hierarchy and spacing - Enhanced card styling with hover effects Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 --- SESSION_STATE.md | 38 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 37 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'SESSION_STATE.md') diff --git a/SESSION_STATE.md b/SESSION_STATE.md index 55138c9..f4b76f0 100644 --- a/SESSION_STATE.md +++ b/SESSION_STATE.md @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ # Current Session State ## 🎯 Active Goal -Board sorting implementation complete. +Frontend modernization with tabs, HTMX, and Tailwind build pipeline complete. ## ✅ Completed - Initial Phase 1 feature set (Trello, Todoist, Obsidian, PlanToEat) @@ -30,12 +30,48 @@ Board sorting implementation complete. - internal/api/trello.go:220-228: Added sort logic to GetBoardsWithCards - internal/store/sqlite.go:428-433: Updated SQL query to sort cached boards consistently - Empty boards now pushed to bottom, active boards at top + - **Commit:** 9ef5b7f "Sort Trello boards with active boards first" +- **Frontend Modernization:** Complete UI overhaul with tabs, HTMX, and Tailwind build pipeline + - **Build Pipeline:** npm + PostCSS + Tailwind configuration (replaced CDN) + - package.json, tailwind.config.js, postcss.config.js, Makefile + - Custom design system with brand colors (Trello, Todoist, Obsidian, PlanToEat) + - Compiled CSS: 27KB (vs 3MB CDN), Inter font, custom components + - **Tab Interface:** Separate "Tasks" (Trello/Todoist/PlanToEat) from "Notes" (Obsidian) + - HTMX for partial page updates (no full refreshes) + - Tab switching with proper state management + - Auto-refresh maintains current tab context + - **Template Restructuring:** Modular partials architecture + - web/templates/partials/: 7 reusable template components + - tasks-tab.html, notes-tab.html, trello-boards.html, todoist-tasks.html, etc. + - Cleaner separation of concerns + - **Empty Board Collapsible:** Native `
