The quick actions card has been updated to better reflect the importance of each action.

  • The "Create Headline" button remains a primary ElevatedButton.
  • The "Create Category" and "Create Source" buttons are now OutlinedButtons to visually de-emphasize them, creating a clearer action hierarchy and improving usability.

Summary of Changes

Hello @fulleni, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on enhancing the user experience of the dashboard's quick actions card. By adjusting the visual prominence of specific actions, it establishes a more intuitive hierarchy, making the primary action more prominent while gracefully de-emphasizing secondary options, which ultimately improves the overall usability of the dashboard.

Highlights

  • Visual Hierarchy Improvement: The 'Create Category' and 'Create Source' buttons on the dashboard's quick actions card have been changed from ElevatedButton to OutlinedButton. This visually de-emphasizes them, creating a clearer hierarchy with the 'Create Headline' button remaining as the primary action.

Code Review

This pull request improves the visual hierarchy on the dashboard's quick actions card by changing secondary action buttons to OutlinedButtons. The implementation is clean and effective. Consider a more intuitive icon for the 'Create Source' action to further improve usability.

The add_to_photos_outlined icon might be confusing for an action to 'Create Source', as it's strongly associated with images. A source in this application's context is a news organization or publication.

Using a more representative icon like Icons.add_business_outlined would improve clarity and make the UI more intuitive.
