Modernize Fat Free CRM UI
Fat Free CRM is in need of a modern UI. Requirements:
- Use Bootstrap 5 Done
- Use FontAwesome 5
- Edit / Delete links etc should be replaced with button icons (e.g. red button with trashcan for delete)
- Use modern color schemes - #906 is one possibility
- Tag colors should be modernized - also part of #906
- Text size should be kept consistent (maybe slightly enlarged in some places) Done
- Replacing nav tabs with a collapsing/dynamic sidebar https://docs.requarks.io/all #923
Ah c'mon we can make some good inroads by say, April-ish? Even if that release becomes "current UI refactoring in preparation to modernize"
This is a bit of a radical proposal but I think it would be better to develop the frontend as a React app which connects to an API-only server. If we're gonna redo- it might as well go for the gold... I find UI development is so much easier these days using React vs. the traditional server-rendered Rails. We can continue to support the legacy UI until the React is full online. Thoughts?
Certainly worth considering. I had a brief go a few years back at mocking up an API (https://github.com/crossroads/ffcrm_api) - might be some useful code snippets in there but it's far from production ready.
Other bonus of an API is that it paves the way for mobile apps.

with react you can combine mobile and non-mobile into one app, using different components that display in different contexts
