  • theme-change

    Change CSS theme with toggle, buttons or select using CSS custom properties and localStorage

  • In the original Tutors design, the dark mode button was just used to switch between dark mode & light mode. With the new design, this if a theme switcher with a dropdown with a choice of many themes. This was implemented using theme-change.

  • Tailwind CSS

    A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

  • The original interface was created based on Fomantic UI using Tailwind CSS. After plenty of research, it was decided that the redesign would go ahead using the DaisyUI components. These components were selected as they are functional, customizable components that suit perfectly to this use case.

  • inter

    The Inter font family

  • The font across the whole site was also updated to use the Inter typeface family.

  • iconify

    Universal icon framework. One syntax for FontAwesome, Material Design Icons, DashIcons, Feather Icons, EmojiOne, Noto Emoji and many other open source icon sets (over 150 icon sets and 200k icons). SVG framework, React, Vue and Svelte components!

  • Next, the course contents was split up to more obviously show each semester, with a different background and a lighter drop shadow added. The cards for each module were also updated with a lighter, longer drop shadow. The icons on the cards were also updated to accept SVG icons from the iconify framework aswell as the screenshots of icons used by the original.

  • Fomantic-UI

    Fomantic-UI is the official community fork of Semantic-UI

  • The original interface was created based on Fomantic UI using Tailwind CSS. After plenty of research, it was decided that the redesign would go ahead using the DaisyUI components.
