The old UI was looking super dry and clunky, so I ended up spending most of today completely redoing the styling and making it actually fun to use.Went for a warm, clean palette (forest greens + light sky blue and a bright sun), fixed up the mobile sidebar, and made the whole layout feel cohesive instead of just random boxes on a screen.Along with the design overhaul, I also added two cool fun features:
Quick Reply Macro Bar: In the inbox, you can now just click quick templates (like sending a 10% discount, sharing tracking, or saying you’re checking stock) to reply instantly without typing the same thing again and again.
Simulate Incoming Order Button: Added a test order button in the orders tab that drops in a random simulated customer order in real-time so I can test how new orders look on the dashboard.
Cleaned up all the messy JavaScript behind it too so the code is actually easy to read and work with.
Feels way better to click around now!
