A fresh coat of paint

Published on: 9/12/2025

For the past months I’ve been pretty busy with personal stuff, so here’s a tiny update to hopefully get us back on track!

The biggest change I did in these past few months were:

  • Switching some components from Chakra to shadcn
  • Adding some flare to make the UI less flat

The home page with glassy buttons, and a new rounded navigation bar

I’ve also applied the same “glassy” look to the various badges you see around the application:

Picture of the 'steamgriddb' modal, with the file extension badges being glassy instead of the flat color they were before

Picture of the 'library' page, with the download status badges being glassy

The library page with glassy download badges

I know this was a pretty short blog post, but I’m currently very busy with my actual work. So I hope this will suffice for the time being !

See you when I find time to write another blog post!
