🎨 Frontend UI/UX Designer - Day 1 Checklist

Setup (15 minutes)

# Clone and run the app
git clone <repo-url>
cd converter
npm install
npm run dev
# Open http://localhost:5173

Immediate Observations to Document

• Current color contrast ratios (use browser DevTools)
• Mobile breakpoint issues (resize browser to 375px, 768px, 1024px)
• Tab navigation usability
• Button states (hover, focus, active)
• Loading states (currently missing)

Hour 1-2: Mobile Audit

1. Open Chrome DevTools → Device Toolbar
2. Test on iPhone SE (375px) and iPad (768px)
3. Document issues:
   • Touch target sizes
   • Text readability
   • Button spacing
   • Tab overflow behavior

Hour 3-4: Accessibility Quick Wins

// Add to each converter component
// Example for MorseCodeConverter.jsx

<textarea
  id="morse-input"
  aria-label="Input text for Morse code conversion"
  aria-describedby="morse-input-help"
  // ... existing props
/>
<span id="morse-input-help" className="sr-only">
  Enter text to convert to Morse code
</span>

Day 1 Deliverables:

• Mobile audit report (issues list)
• Accessibility checklist
• Quick wins implementation (ARIA labels)
• Screenshot comparison (before/after)

💅 CSS/Styling Specialist - Day 1 Checklist

Setup (15 minutes)

npm install
npm run dev

Hour 1: Audit Current CSS

# Check current bundle size
npm run build
# Look for dist/assets/*.css file size

# Analyze Tailwind usage
npx tailwindcss -i src/index.css -o dist/output.css --minify

Hour 2-3: Create Custom Utilities

File: src/index.css

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

/* Custom Component Classes */
@layer components {
  .converter-card {
    @apply p-4 bg-black rounded-lg border-2 border-white;
  }
  
  .converter-input {
    @apply w-full h-32 p-2 bg-black border border-white rounded-md text-white;
    @apply focus:ring-2 focus:ring-invader-pink focus:border-invader-pink;
    @apply transition-all duration-200;
  }

/* Custom Animations */
@layer utilities {
  .animate-fade-in {
    animation: fadeIn 0.3s ease-in;
  }

  }
}

@keyframes fadeIn {
  from { opacity: 0; }
  to { opacity: 1; }
}

@keyframes slideUp {
  from { 
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(10px);
  }
  to { 
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0);
  }
}

@keyframes pulseGlow {
  0%, 100% { 
    box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(255, 0, 255, 0.5);
  }
  50% {
