Modernizing the Script Manager Web Interface with Bootstrap and Enhanced UX

Current State

The current web interface has basic functionality but lacks modern design and user-friendly features:

Implementation Plan

  • Explore repository structure and understand current functionality
  • Set up development environment and test current application
  • Create base template with Bootstrap framework integration
  • Implement consistent navigation bar across all pages
  • Add dark mode toggle functionality
  • Enhance index.html with Bootstrap cards and styled tables
  • Improve status display with Bootstrap badges
  • Style add.html form with Bootstrap components
  • Enhance detail.html with improved console output styling
  • Add syntax highlighting for console output (Prism.js)
  • Implement Bootstrap toasts for user notifications
  • Add footer with copyright information
  • Add subtle animations and transitions
  • Test responsiveness across different screen sizes
  • Verify all existing functionality (WebSockets, forms) still works
  • Take final screenshots to demonstrate improvements

Features to Implement

  1. Bootstrap Framework: Responsive design that adapts to mobile, tablet, and desktop
  2. Navigation Bar: Consistent header with logo and navigation links
  3. Dark Mode: Toggle between light and dark themes
  4. Status Badges: Color-coded visual indicators for script status
  5. Enhanced Forms: Modern form styling with validation feedback

  8. Notifications: Toast messages for user actions
  9. Modern Layout: Cards, proper spacing, and professional appearance
  10. Responsive Design: Mobile-first approach with Bootstrap grid system

The current web interface for the script manager application has basic functionality but lacks modern design, responsiveness, and user interactivity. The goal is to improve the aesthetic appeal and usability of the HTML templates (index.html, add.html, detail.html) by applying the following enhancements:

  1. Add Responsiveness:

    • Use the Bootstrap framework for a responsive layout.
    • Ensure the interface adapts to various screen sizes (desktop, tablet, mobile).
  2. Enhance Navigation:

    • Add a consistent navigation bar across all pages.
    • Include a logo, links to the home page, and an "Add New Script" button.
  3. Improve Forms and Tables:

    • Style the form inputs and buttons with Bootstrap classes.
    • Add hover effects and striped rows for tables to improve readability.
  4. Dark Mode Support:

    • Introduce a toggle switch to switch between light and dark themes.
    • Ensure the theme applies consistently across all pages.
  5. Visual Feedback for Statuses:

    • Use badges or color-coded labels to display the script status (e.g., running, stopped, error).
    • Add Bootstrap toasts for notifications (e.g., script start/stop success).
  6. Refactor Console Output:

    • Improve the console output style on the detail page using syntax highlighting (via Prism.js or a similar library).
    • Ensure live updates are visually clear and easy to follow.
  7. General Aesthetic Enhancements:

    • Use Bootstrap cards for content sections.
    • Add a footer with copyright information.
    • Introduce subtle animations/transitions for a modern feel.

These changes will make the web interface more user-friendly, modern, and visually appealing while maintaining its functionality.
