it is the first time i host a website on vercel, the idea came to me since i am a new user for caddy and wanted an easier way to generate my configuration.
the entire project is made with claude ai and is constantly updated based on feedback.
current version 0.2:
Enhance Caddyfile generator UI and functionality
Add support for multiple site configurations
Implement global settings with ACME CA options
Create tabbed interface for global config and generated Caddyfile
Improve form layout using Chakra UI components
Fix import issues and use Chakra UI icons
Implement edit mode for direct Caddyfile editing
will be updating to version 0.3 later tonight.
please help me improve the website, i am no expert in caddyfiles
This release brings significant improvements to the Caddyfile Generator, enhancing both its functionality and code structure:
Modular Architecture: Refactored the monolithic component into smaller, more manageable components (e.g., GlobalConfig, SiteList, CaddyfileDisplay), improving code readability and maintainability.
Custom Hooks: Introduced custom hooks (useCaddyfileGenerator, useDebounce) to encapsulate complex logic and state management, promoting better separation of concerns.
Improved State Management: Implemented more efficient state updates using the useCallback hook, reducing unnecessary re-renders.
Enhanced Error Handling: Added more robust error checking and user feedback, especially for email validation and form submissions.
Responsive Design: Improved mobile responsiveness with a collapsible sidebar for smaller screens.
Dark Mode: Implemented a consistent dark mode across all components for better user experience in low-light environments.
Accessibility Improvements: Added more ARIA labels and improved keyboard navigation throughout the application.
Performance Optimizations: Implemented React.memo for certain components to prevent unnecessary re-renders.
Code Splitting: Separated utility functions and type definitions into their own files for better organization and potential code-splitting in the future.
Updated Dependencies: Ensured all dependencies are up-to-date and removed any unused imports.
This version lays a solid foundation for future enhancements and makes the codebase more maintainable for ongoing development. Users will benefit from a more responsive, accessible, and feature-rich experience when generating their Caddyfiles.
Implemented a custom drag and drop solution to replace react-beautiful-dnd
Fixed errors related to dragging items, especially when only one item is present
Improved overall stability and user experience of the drag and drop feature
Sidebar Updates:
Removed the site list from the sidebar for a cleaner interface
Kept other useful functions like “Add Custom Site” and “Common Patterns” in the sidebar
Caddyfile Generation and Display:
Replaced the “Generate Caddyfile” button with a “Download Caddyfile” feature
The Caddyfile now updates automatically as changes are made
Added ability to download the current Caddyfile as a file
Color Mode and Dark Mode Enhancements:
Implemented robust color mode handling to ensure consistent appearance across the application
Fixed text color inconsistency when switching between light and dark modes
Optimized Caddyfile display component to ensure proper re-rendering on color mode switches
Enhanced dark mode compatibility across all components
Improved initial color mode loading to prevent flickering on page load
UI/UX Improvements:
Streamlined the interface for better user experience
Improved visual feedback in the Caddyfile editor
Enhanced overall responsiveness and performance
Ensured consistent styling and color transitions throughout the application
Code Structure and Performance:
Updated App component structure for better color mode management
Optimized theme configuration for more efficient color mode handling
Improved component re-rendering logic to enhance performance during mode switches
This update significantly improves the stability, functionality, and user experience of the Caddyfile Generator, with a focus on drag-and-drop operations, color mode compatibility, and simplified Caddyfile management. The enhancements in color mode handling ensure a smooth and consistent visual experience across different system preferences and user interactions.
Looking nice. I did notice that the Tour doesn’t work for me (clicking Next does nothing), and also when I click the “Add Static File Server” or “Add Reverse Proxy” or any of those blue buttons on the left side, they all bring up the same dialog box (“Add Custom Site”).
