Design system, mobile UX, and technical queue
Moved the client design system forward, fixed mobile UX details, cleaned up the technical backlog, and published site content.
A focused day on the client project (NDA), supported by several parallel sessions. There were 40 sessions across 20 workspaces, with 45 unique commits in the main client flow.
Client project (NDA)
Design system as a contract
I turned the internal Design System route into a more concrete reference for the application. The work covered tokens, canonical components, focus states, skeletons, inputs, selects, modals, panels, and typography patterns. I also kept the visual direction conservative: preserve the existing style and replace leftovers with accepted tokens and components.
The important part was treating the design system as a product contract, not a showcase. It needs to show the exact standard that real screens will follow.
Mobile and forms
I continued the mobile review of New Report and Relational Management.
The focus was searchable selects, keyboard behavior, dropdowns that survive the open keyboard, drafts, date fields, and consistency across inputs.
I also reviewed cases where the visible text and saved value could drift apart.
react-select became more consolidated as the base for selects, with variants for autocomplete, async search, and closed selects.
The goal was simple: the user needs to type, choose, and save without the interface lying.
Backend, money, and offline
I organized backend architecture documentation, with clearer responsibilities for layers, validation, business rules, and error handling. I also moved forward with the decision to store table prices in cents, with shared utilities for conversion and formatting.
On the offline side, I reviewed the local cache for relational management and manual sync. The work closed gaps between creating, editing, disabling, and reloading data while offline.
Backlog and PR review
I reconciled issues, PRs, and task documents to separate what was already delivered from what still needed real work.
I also reviewed open PRs, conflicts, technical debt, and pending migration work around RHF, Zod, and Zustand.
This kind of cleanup keeps the project from having two truths: one in the code and another in the docs.
tgmarinho-ai-website
I published the previous day's journal and the post about the right timing for React effects.
I also ran the /daily backfill flow, keeping the site as a public record of technical work.
Other checks
In another site, I reviewed the mobile viewport configuration and confirmed there was no explicit zoom lock. The recommendation was to keep zoom accessible and fix issues through responsive layout.
The theme of the day was alignment: making the interface, backend, offline flow, and backlog point in the same direction.
