Summary

Delivers a visually consistent UI refresh with unified typography, improved color palette for dark mode, clear value propositions, refined spacing, and a much improved mobile navigation experience.

Details

  • Establishes Instrument Sans as the main body text font and Playfair Display for headings for crisp typographic hierarchy
  • Updates base CSS to ensure all body, paragraph, label, input, and general text elements consistently use Instrument Sans unless a heading or explicit override is applied
  • Removes old CSS font variables, ensuring settings only reference the correct font faces as provided by Next.js config
  • Refines the navigation bar for clarity, adaptive design, and strong theme contrast
  • Streamlines layout spacing and ensures both themes maintain accessible contrast levels
  • Upgrades mobile navigation experience with a full-screen modal overlay and animation, improved accessibility, and escape-key/overlay closing
  • Updates landing page value proposition text for accuracy and clarity
  • Refines the dark mode palette for improved visual comfort and color harmony

Warning: Task VM test is not passing, cto.new will perform much better if you fix the setup

This major update modernizes and simplifies the entire user interface
across the application for a more appealing, user-friendly experience.
- Revamps the landing page, authentication, header, and library views
  with better layout, modern gradients, glassmorphism, improved spacing,
  and animation utility classes
- Refactors library card grid, upload form, and empty/loader states for
  visual polish and feedback
- Updates PDF reader controls and loading screens for consistency
- Implements improved global animation and utility styles

The new UI enhances usability and aesthetics with no breaking changes.

Adopted a warm and cozy color system with modern gradients and glass effects. Improved page responsiveness, modernized visual hierarchy, and enhanced layout spacing. Added new utility classes for cards, glows, and more expressive focus/hover states.
Apply modern asymmetric layouts, bento grids, and new font families
across the homepage and header. Ensure all text is readable in both
light and dark modes (fixes brand/gradient text). Dramatically enhance
structure, style, and visual hierarchy for a contemporary feel.

- Redesigned home page with modern hero, bento layout, and cta
- Switched to Inter, Playfair Display, and JetBrains Mono font stack
- Updated header with visible brand text and style coherence
- CSS clarity: all text uses text-foreground, improve gradient fallback
- Makes navbar visible and non-transparent for improved readability
- Refines dark mode palette for less clashing, more harmonious look
- Restores Instrument Sans as the body font and consistent non-display usage
- Ensures navbar remains responsive with accessible mobile navigation
- Removes misleading marketing claims from landing features section
Ensure Instrument Sans font is properly set as the main font for body text by including its className in the body element in layout.tsx. Resolves issue where fallback fonts were displaying instead of Instrument Sans, maintaining consistent sitewide typography.
- Improves mobile navigation experience with a modal backdrop overlay
- Adds smooth slide-down animation and disables body scroll when open
- Updates menu layout and icons for modern, touch-friendly usability
- Closes mobile menu on overlay click or Escape key for accessibility
- Explicitly enforce Instrument Sans as the default body font for all non-heading
elements in CSS, ensuring no text unintentionally uses fallback fonts
- Remove legacy font CSS variables for cleaner configuration
- Correct theme font references so all text except headings
adheres to the typography system
