Thoughts on refactoring styles?

Howdy!

I just forked the repo to play around with the default styling and contribute a bit. One thing that stood out to me is how the styles are structured in web/static/css/styles.css.

My thought is that we could simplify things by moving colors and other styles into variables. This would make it way easier to tweak global colors later, especially for users who are not familiar with CSS. I would be happy to work on this and also rewrite it into SCSS if there is interest.

Would anyone be interested in this kind of refactor or in a CSS-free way to adjust styles across the tool?

Hello, I have discovered recently this project. Was writing some code for variables & better ui, maybe could-we work together ?

Hey, I'm down. Let me know what you're thinking and how we can help each other and I'd love to get started.

I was thinking of creating new layout, changing the colours for better ui & to create variables for better maintenance. I will open a repo with the code with my changes. Here is a actual screenshot.

While I believe it doesn't have to be so modern and fancy yet but instead work on the ux which may be a good investment, while using it I struggled too scan and gather information fast, I can maybe map out a neat bullet point list of things I noticed which where difficult as a user in order to bring better insight on what would be worth the energy, but overall so far it's getting the job done.

Oh and I noticed this project is missing a testing interface which could be another thing to focus on as well so it doesn't bite later on.

Absolutely, bullet points make sense — great call.

In the meantime, I’ve put together a few small tweaks to the UX. I’m currently wrapping up other priorities, so I won’t be diving into a full new project anytime soon.
If you’re interested, I can send you an invite so you can see the changes directly.

Let me know — happy to share!
