Design Improvements

The application has been completely redesigned with TailwindUI components:

Simple Search Page

Simple Search

  • Clean header with proper branding
  • Two-column search form with organized sections
  • User Information section (gray background)
  • User's Posts section (blue background)
  • Modern buttons and form controls
  • Professional results table with hover effects

Advanced Search Page

Advanced Search

  • Complex form builder interface
  • Color-coded sections (green for sorting, purple for conditions)
  • Nested condition groups with proper spacing
  • SQL query preview with syntax highlighting
  • Modern button styling throughout

Technical Upgrades

  • Rails: 7.1.0 → 8.0.3 (latest)
  • Ruby: 3.4.4 → 3.2.3 (system compatible)
  • CSS Framework: Basic CSS → TailwindCSS via CDN
  • JavaScript: Sprockets → Importmap + Stimulus
  • Modern Rails 8 conventions: Importmap, Turbo, Stimulus

CI and Testing Improvements

  • CI Workflow: Added comprehensive GitHub Actions workflow with PostgreSQL service
  • Test Coverage: Enhanced controller tests with comprehensive parameter testing
  • Model Tests: Added Ransack-specific functionality testing for User model
  • Helper Tests: Added tests for both UsersHelper and ApplicationHelper with TailwindCSS styling
  • System Tests: Added end-to-end browser testing for UI functionality
  • Integration Tests: Added route and workflow integration testing
  • Test Fixtures: Improved with realistic test data

The new design provides a much more professional and user-friendly interface while maintaining all existing Ransack functionality with comprehensive test coverage.

The TailwindCSS class strings are extremely long and repeated multiple times. Consider extracting these into CSS classes or helper methods to improve maintainability and reduce duplication.
