Visual UI/UX Audit — Timmy Dashboard

Closes: #1481

Summary

Comprehensive multimodal visual analysis of the Timmy Dashboard, covering color system, typography, layout, landing page, dashboard UX, CSS architecture, mobile experience, and accessibility.

Key Findings

High Priority:

  • Dashboard has no onboarding state — new users see "LOADING..." with no context
  • --text-dim (#6b4a8a) fails WCAG AA contrast requirements (~2.8:1 vs required 4.5:1)
  • HTMX-polled panels lack aria-live="polite" for screen reader accessibility

Medium Priority:

  • Monospace font (JetBrains Mono) used globally — better suited for code-only
  • Sidebar collapses to stacking at 768px, losing navigation on tablets
  • CTA hierarchy unclear on landing page (3 competing buttons)
  • CSS variables defined in style.css but inconsistently used in mission-control.css (91KB)
  • Two separate mobile experiences (Expo app vs mobile web) may have diverged

Low Priority:

  • --blue and --orange CSS variables both map to #ff7a2a (orange)
  • No consistent type scale defined
  • "Emotional Profile" panel name is ambiguous

Files Added

  • docs/ui-ux-audit-gemma4.md — Full audit report with 20+ specific findings

Visual Evidence

  • Screenshot analysis of Gitea repo layout confirmed clean structure
  • CSS variable extraction revealed color system architecture
  • Template analysis identified HTMX polling patterns and layout shifts
