# Tailwind CSS Migration Status

## ✅ Completed (Core Infrastructure)

### Phase 1: Setup & Foundation
- [x] Install Tailwind CSS with PostCSS and Autoprefixer
- [x] Configure `tailwind.config.js` with content globs and custom keyframes
- [x] Create `src/styles/tailwind.css` with base/components/utilities
- [x] Import Tailwind before existing CSS in `main.tsx`
- [x] Enable Tailwind preflight (CSS reset)

### Phase 2: Base Styles Reconciliation
- [x] Add CSS variables for user-settable theme colors
  - `--highlight-color-mine`, `--highlight-color-friends`, `--highlight-color-nostrverse`
  - `--reading-font`, `--reading-font-size`
- [x] Simplify `global.css` to work with Tailwind preflight
- [x] Remove redundant base styles handled by Tailwind
- [x] Keep app-specific overrides (mobile sidebar lock, loading states)

### Phase 3: Layout System Refactor ⭐ **CRITICAL FIX**
- [x] Switch from pane-scrolling to document-scrolling
- [x] Make sidebars sticky on desktop (`position: sticky`)
- [x] Update `app.css` to remove fixed container heights
- [x] Update `ThreePaneLayout.tsx` to use window scroll
- [x] Fix reading position tracking to work with document scroll
- [x] Maintain mobile overlay behavior

### Phase 4: Component Migrations
- [x] **ReadingProgressIndicator**: Full Tailwind conversion
  - Removed 80+ lines of CSS
  - Added shimmer animation to Tailwind config
  - Z-index layering maintained (1102)
  
- [x] **Mobile UI Elements**: Tailwind utilities
  - Mobile hamburger button
  - Mobile highlights button  
  - Mobile backdrop
  - Removed 60+ lines of CSS

- [x] **App Container**: Tailwind utilities
  - Responsive padding (p-0 md:p-4)
  - Min-height viewport support

## 📊 Impact & Metrics

### Lines of CSS Removed
- `global.css`: ~50 lines removed
- `reader.css`: ~80 lines removed (progress indicator)
- `app.css`: ~30 lines removed (mobile buttons/backdrop)
- `sidebar.css`: ~30 lines removed (mobile hamburger)
- **Total**: ~190 lines removed

### Key Achievements
1. **Fixed Core Issue**: Reading position tracking now works correctly with document scroll
2. **Tailwind Integration**: Fully functional with preflight enabled
3. **No Breaking Changes**: All existing functionality preserved
4. **Type Safety**: TypeScript checks passing
5. **Lint Clean**: ESLint checks passing
6. **Responsive**: Mobile/tablet/desktop layouts working

## 🔄 Remaining Work (Incremental)

The following migrations are **optional enhancements** that can be done as components are touched:

### High-Value Components
- [ ] **ContentPanel** - Large component, high impact
  - Reader header, meta info, loading states
  - Mark as read button
  - Article/video menus
  
- [ ] **BookmarkList & BookmarkItem** - Core UI
  - Card layouts (compact/cards/large views)
  - Bookmark metadata display
  - Interactive states

- [ ] **HighlightsPanel** - Feature-rich
  - Header with toggles
  - Highlight items
  - Level-based styling

- [ ] **Settings Components** - Forms & controls
  - Color pickers
  - Font selectors
  - Toggle switches
  - Sliders

### CSS Files to Prune
- `src/index.css` - Contains many inline bookmark/highlight styles (~3000+ lines)
- `src/styles/components/cards.css` - Bookmark card styles
- `src/styles/components/modals.css` - Modal dialogs
- `src/styles/layout/highlights.css` - Highlight panel layout

## 🎯 Migration Strategy

### For New Components
Use Tailwind utilities from the start. Reference:
```tsx
// Good: Tailwind utilities
<div className="flex items-center gap-2 p-4 bg-gray-800 rounded-lg">
  
// Avoid: New CSS classes
<div className="custom-component">
```

### For Existing Components
Migrate incrementally when touching files:
1. Replace layout utilities (flex, grid, spacing, sizing)
2. Replace color/background utilities
3. Replace typography utilities
4. Replace responsive variants
5. Remove old CSS rules
6. Keep file under 210 lines

### CSS Variable Usage
Dynamic values should still use CSS variables or inline styles:
```tsx
// User-settable colors
style={{ backgroundColor: settings.highlightColorMine }}

// Or reference CSS variable
className="bg-[var(--highlight-color-mine)]"
```

## 📝 Technical Notes

### Z-Index Layering
- Mobile sidepanes: `z-[1001]`
- Mobile backdrop: `z-[999]`
- Progress indicator: `z-[1102]`
- Mobile buttons: `z-[900]`
- Relay status: `z-[999]`
- Modals: `z-[10000]`

### Responsive Breakpoints
- Mobile: `< 768px`
- Tablet: `768px - 1024px`
- Desktop: `> 1024px`

Use Tailwind: `md:` (768px), `lg:` (1024px)

### Safe Area Insets
Mobile notch support:
```tsx
style={{ 
  top: 'calc(1rem + env(safe-area-inset-top))',
  left: 'calc(1rem + env(safe-area-inset-left))'
}}
```

### Custom Animations
Add to `tailwind.config.js`:
```js
keyframes: {
  shimmer: {
    '0%': { transform: 'translateX(-100%)' },
    '100%': { transform: 'translateX(100%)' },
  },
}
```

## ✅ Success Criteria Met

- [x] Tailwind CSS fully integrated and functional
- [x] Document scrolling working correctly
- [x] Reading position tracking accurate
- [x] Progress indicator always visible
- [x] No TypeScript errors
- [x] No linting errors
- [x] Mobile responsiveness maintained
- [x] Theme colors (user settings) working

3. **Monitor**: Watch for any CSS conflicts
4. **Cleanup**: Eventually remove unused CSS files
5. **Document**: Update component docs with Tailwind patterns
