First pass of the /frontend-design overhaul against the mockups at
F:\Pictures\website\jobtracker\new. Two highest-leverage gaps from the
backlog note ("dark sidebar, KPI cards, exact status colours"):
- AppShell: nav rail is now a fixed dark navy (#0f172a) regardless of
the app's light/dark theme toggle, matching the mockup's signature
look -- selected item gets an indigo-tinted pill + icon accent,
muted slate text for the rest. Kept icon+label rows (mockup's sidebar
is text-only) since the existing collapsed-sidebar mode depends on
icons; that's a deliberate deviation, not an oversight.
- JobbjaktMark: replaced the briefcase glyph with the gradient
checkmark-in-square mark used throughout the mockups (hero, dashboard,
kanban) -- also fixed a latent SVG gradient id collision across
multiple rendered instances via useId().
- KanbanBoard: mockup uses color sparingly (a small dot in the column
header, a 4px accent on the card's left edge) rather than tinting the
whole column/card background as the previous version did. Reworked
to match; also swapped card title/subtitle order (job title bold,
company/location as subtitle) per the mockup.
Remaining for follow-up passes: Dashboard KPI card layout and the job
workspace (candidate-fit ring, AI summary card) -- both structurally
close already but not yet pixel-matched.
Verified: `next build` clean, all 57 frontend tests green, dark
sidebar confirmed live (computed bg #0f172a) against a running dev
server with light content mode forced.
Getting Started with Create React App
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
Available Scripts
In the project directory, you can run:
npm start
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
npm test
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
npm run build
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
npm run eject
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
