🐛 Troubleshooting

"I don't see the changes"

  3. Check URL: Make sure using http://192.168.10.130:3000
  4. Restart browser: Close completely and reopen

"Buttons still look big"

  1. Check if you're looking at the test page: /ui-test.html
  2. Clear browser cache completely
  3. Try in incognito/private mode
  4. Check browser zoom is at 100%

"Site won't load"

  1. Check WiFi connection
  2. Verify you're on same network (192.168.10.x)
  3. Try: http://192.168.10.130:3000
  4. Check if frontend is running: lsof -i :3000

"Text too small to read"

  • Use pinch-to-zoom on mobile (supported up to 5x)
