Today I took the shift management calendar to the next level, polishing the interface and improving CSS code organization. These refinements were crucial for maintainability and scalability.
The initial version of the UI worked, but it lacked polish. I adjusted spacing, typography, and element alignment to make the interface more intuitive and visually pleasing. Users can now assign shifts more easily without misinterpreting the layout.
One key task was refactoring the CSS. Previously, multiple class names overlapped and were reused across unrelated components, leading to unpredictable styles and conflicts. I rewrote parts of the stylesheet, giving components their own scoped and descriptive class names.
This cleanup significantly reduced bugs and made it easier to apply consistent styling across pages. I also added comments to the CSS code to help future developers understand its structure and logic.
A major highlight was introducing visual feedback when a shift is selected or modified—simple transitions and border highlights that make interactions more dynamic and engaging.
By the end of the day, the shift UI looked smoother, functioned more reliably, and the codebase was much easier to manage.
