# ✨ UI Redesign - Quick Start Guide
## What Changed?
The song viewing/editing interface has been completely redesigned for **better mobile experience** with:
- **Smaller, cleaner buttons** (50% smaller navigation, 25% smaller action buttons)
- **Compact controls** (3-column grid instead of 2-column)
- **Mobile-optimized text sizes** (16px instead of 24px)
- **Tighter spacing** (35-40% more content visible)
- **Professional styling** (solid colors, white backgrounds)
## Access the Website
### Local Network (Ubuntu Server)
```
http://192.168.10.130:3000
```
### External (DNS - after port forwarding setup)
```
http://houseofprayer.ddns.net:3000
```
### Backend API
```
http://192.168.10.130:8080/api
```
## New Button Layout
### Navigation (Top & Bottom)
- **Previous**: Left arrow button (compact 8x8 square)
- **Counter**: White badge showing song position (e.g., "1 / 10")
- **Next**: Right arrow button (compact 8x8 square)
### Key & Controls (Single Compact Bar)
```
Current Key: G Play (Capo 3): E
🎹 Transpose: [C][C#][D][D#][E][F][F#][G][G#][A][A#][B]
🎸 Capo: [Dropdown: No Capo, Capo 1-15]
```
### Action Buttons (3-Column Grid)
```
Row 1: [🎵Key] [🎸On] [✏️]
Row 2: [💾Save] [🗑️] [✕Close]
```
**Button Labels Shortened:**
- "Transpose" → "🎵 Key"
- "Chords On" → "🎸 On" / "Off"
- "Edit" → "✏️" (or "Edit")
- "Delete/Remove" → "🗑️" (icon only)
- "Close" → "✕ Close"
## Mobile Optimization
### Font Sizes
- **Title**: 24px → 16px (text-2xl → text-xl for input)
- **Singer**: 24px → 16px (text-lg → text-base)
- **Chords**: 24px → 15px
- **Lyrics**: 24px → 16px
- **Labels**: 14px → 12px (text-sm → text-xs)
### Spacing
- **Padding**: p-4/p-6/p-8 → p-3/p-4
- **Margins**: mb-4/mb-6 → mb-3/mb-4
- **Gaps**: gap-3/gap-4 → gap-2/gap-1.5
### Layout
- **Controls Bar**: White background with border (instead of gray-50)
- **Song Sheet**: Reduced from 500px min-height to 400px
- **Line Height**: 2.0 → 1.8 (tighter, easier to read)
- **Borders**: All changed from border-2 to border (thinner)
