This pull request introduces a comprehensive visual and usability upgrade to the Study Mode experience and navigation, focusing on improved theming, modern UI feedback, and enhanced accessibility for both light and dark modes. It also updates internal dependency paths for toast components. The most significant changes are summarized below:

Study Mode UI/UX Enhancements:

  • The StudyMode component received a major visual overhaul: headers, progress bars, flashcards, and answer buttons now feature gradient backgrounds, improved color contrast, and smoother transitions for both light and dark themes. Interactive elements such as buttons and cards have enhanced hover effects and animations for better feedback. [1] [2]
  • Additional utility and animation classes were added to globals.css to support Study Mode improvements, including card scaling, gradient backgrounds, progress bar shine, button pulsing, and enhanced navbar link hovers.

Navigation Improvements:

  • The Navbar now displays new signed-in navigation links for "Flashcard Sets" and "Study Mode," each with relevant icons (BookOpen, Brain). These links have improved styling, including icons, hover effects, and better support for mobile and dark mode. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Dependency Path Updates:

  • The package.json was updated to change the toast and use-toast dependencies from link: to file: references, improving local package resolution.

Walkthrough

This PR introduces a comprehensive Study Mode redesign with enhanced CSS utilities for animations and gradients, updated navigation featuring Study Mode links with icons, and substantial UI improvements to the StudyMode component including styled stat pills, gradient progress tracking, and redesigned answer controls.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Dependency Resolution
package.json
Changed resolver specifiers for "toast" and "use-toast" from "link:" to "file:" scheme, altering local package resolution method.
Study Mode Styling
src/app/globals.css
Introduced comprehensive CSS utilities and animations: study-card with 3D transforms, gradient backgrounds (light/dark modes), pulse-scale animation, navbar link hover enhancement with pseudo-elements, progress bar shine animation with rainbow gradient, floating element animations, and enhanced focus styling. All additive changes with no removals.
Navigation Enhancement
src/components/Navbar.tsx
Updated signed-in navigation links with icons: renamed "Saved Flashcards" to "Flashcard Sets" (BookOpen icon) and added "Study Mode" (Brain icon). Updated rendering logic to display icons alongside labels in both desktop and mobile menus with adjusted flex layout and spacing.
Study Mode Component Redesign
src/components/study/StudyMode.tsx
Major visual overhaul: enhanced header with gradient styling and decorative icon wrapper, replaced inline counters with three styled stat pills (current index, correct, incorrect), reworked progress section with percentage label and gradient-filled bar, expanded flashcard area with borders and gradient states, repositioned flip indicator with semi-transparent backdrop, redesigned answer control buttons with multi-state gradients and animations, enhanced skip button with arrow indicator, improved mobile hint styling, and introduced useCallback hook for session initialization with updated useEffect dependencies.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 4 (Complex) | ⏱️ ~50 minutes

Rationale: While package.json and Navbar changes are straightforward, the StudyMode component contains substantial refactoring affecting layout, styling, interactivity, and hooks logic across multiple sections. The globals.css adds significant new utilities but follows repetitive patterns. The heterogeneous nature of changes across styling, navigation, and component logic—combined with the density of StudyMode modifications—requires careful review of multiple reasoning paths per area.

Title Check ✅ Passed The pull request title "Enhance Study Mode: add navbar link and UI/UX improvements" directly summarizes the main changes in the changeset. The title accurately captures the three primary components: the Study Mode component visual overhaul (highest effort at "High" code review complexity), the addition of navbar links with icons, and the new CSS utilities and animations for UI/UX improvements. The title is specific enough that a teammate scanning commit history would clearly understand the scope and intent. While the dependency resolver change in package.json is not mentioned, it is a minor technical update that does not constitute a primary objective compared to the visual and navigation enhancements.

35-42: Likely stray packages: button, label, dropdown-menu

These look like tiny/unrelated registry packages that can shadow your local UI components and introduce supply‑chain risk. You shouldn’t depend on them if you use components under src/components/ui.

Apply this diff:

-    "button": "^1.1.1",
-    "dropdown-menu": "^0.1.1",
-    "label": "^0.2.2",

Then ensure imports point at your local components, e.g. @/components/ui/button.

src/components/study/StudyMode.tsx (2)

63-69: Bug: falsy checks on numeric touch coords

if (!touchStart || !touchEnd) fails when coord is 0. Use null checks.

-  const onTouchEnd = () => {
-    if (!touchStart || !touchEnd) return;
+  const onTouchEnd = () => {
+    if (touchStart === null || touchEnd === null) return;

117-160: Handle non-2xx responses from the API

fetch won’t throw on 4xx/5xx; you’ll show success UI and advance even if the server rejected the write.

-  await fetch('/api/study/record', {
+  const rec = await fetch('/api/study/record', {
     method: 'POST',
     headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
     body: JSON.stringify({
       sessionId,
       flashcardId: currentCard.id,
       isCorrect,
       difficulty,
       timeSpent: Math.floor((Date.now() - studyStats.startTime) / 1000)
     })
   });
+  if (!rec.ok) {
+    throw new Error(`record failed: ${rec.status}`);
+  }

Apply similar ok checks in completeStudySession.

package.json (1)

42-42: Optional: update lucide-react

You’re on lucide-react@^0.428.0. Recent releases include fixes and new icons; no breaking API expected for the core props. Consider bumping to the latest stable (e.g., 0.544.x). Based on learnings.

src/components/Navbar.tsx (4)

7-7: Remove unused import

ChevronDown isn’t used.

-import { ArrowRight, Menu, X, ChevronDown, Sparkles, BookOpen, Brain } from "lucide-react";
+import { ArrowRight, Menu, X, Sparkles, BookOpen, Brain } from "lucide-react";

16-16: Remove unused variable

setTheme is not used.

-  const { setTheme } = useTheme();
+  const { } = useTheme(); // or remove the line if not needed

95-102: Icons should be decorative; add focus-visible styles for keyboard users

Add aria-hidden and focusable="false" to icons, and ensure links show a visible focus ring.

-  <Link
+  <Link
     href={link.href}

185-187: Avoid global * { transition-colors } — adds jank

Applying transitions to all elements can hurt performance during theme switches and general rendering.

-* {
-  @apply transition-colors duration-200;

175-182: Respect reduced motion preferences for animations

Wrap key animations with prefers-reduced-motion so users who opt out aren’t forced to see them.

 @keyframes pulse-scale {
   0%, 100% { transform: scale(1); }
   50% { transform: scale(1.05); }
 }
-.animate-pulse-scale {
-  animation: pulse-scale 2s ease-in-out infinite;

113-115: Use functional state update for flip

Prevents stale state issues during rapid interactions.

-const handleFlip = () => {
-  setIsFlipped(!isFlipped);
-};
+const handleFlip = () => {
+  setIsFlipped((prev) => !prev);
+};

214-246: A11y: mark decorative icons and label the flip action

  • Add aria-hidden to all decorative icons (Brain, Target, CheckCircle, XCircle, etc.).
  • Add aria-label="Flip card" to the flip button.
  • Optionally add aria-label to the three answer buttons for clarity.
-<Brain className="h-6 w-6 sm:h-7 sm:w-7 text-purple-600 dark:text-purple-400" />
+<Brain aria-hidden focusable="false" className="h-6 w-6 sm:h-7 sm:w-7 text-purple-600 dark:text-purple-400" />

248-259: Verify gradient actually styles the filled portion

Depending on your Progress implementation, className may apply to the container, not the indicator. If so, the gradient won’t reflect the current value.

Try this temporary approach to ensure the gradient moves with value:

-<div className="relative h-2.5 sm:h-3 bg-gray-200 dark:bg-gray-700 rounded-full overflow-hidden">
-  <Progress 
-    value={progress} 
-    className="h-full bg-gradient-to-r from-purple-600 to-blue-600 dark:from-purple-500 dark:to-blue-500 transition-all duration-500 ease-out" 
-  />
-</div>
+<div className="relative h-2.5 sm:h-3 bg-gray-200 dark:bg-gray-700 rounded-full overflow-hidden">
+  <div
+    className="h-full progress-shine rounded-full"
+    style={{ width: `${Math.max(0, Math.min(100, Math.round(progress)))}%` }}
+  />
+</div>

Or expose an indicatorClassName prop on your Progress component and apply the gradient there.
