Enhancement: UI redesign with new features and enhancements

[divyanshudhruv]

Hello CouchDB Fauxton Team 👋,

I've been a user of CouchDB for some time now, and while the functionality is top-notch, I've noticed that the current UI/UX could benefit from a refresh. I believe a modernized interface will not only enhance user experience but also make CouchDB Fauxton more appealing to a broader audience.

Proposed Improvements:

Streamlined design

Simplifying the overall design to create a more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing experience.

Modern Typography and Icons:

Updating typography and icons to reflect modern design standards, improving readability and visual appeal.

Enhanced Color Scheme:

Introducing a modern color scheme, possibly with the inclusion of a dark mode for improved user comfort.

[future] Dark Mode:

Introducing a dark mode will provide users with a more comfortable viewing experience, especially during extended usage in low-light environments.

Enhanced Sidebar:

A redesigned sidebar can improve navigation. Clear categories and icons can make it more intuitive for users to find what they need quickly.

Separate Logs and Stats Menu:

Creating distinct sections for logs and statistics will allow users to efficiently monitor interactions with the database. This will be particularly useful for troubleshooting errors and analyzing responses.

Collaboration Offer:

As a web developer and ui/ux dev, I'd like to contribute to this initiative by providing a sample design for the proposed improvements. I believe a minimalist and functional design can elevate the overall user experience.

If the moderators are open to it, I'm willing to create and share a sample design for the improved UI.
