Research direction

Start by locating the Tera templates and the current Tailwind implementations for the listed components. Compare the completed sidebar with the remaining theme switcher, search input, buttons, badges, and keyboard key; done means those components use the basecoat CSS/JS instead of bespoke Tailwind kludges.

Description

In the original port to Zola, I used a lot of messy Tailwind kludges to implement basecoat-like components. With the new component system in Tera, we should be able to clean up a lot of that, let basecoat css/js do its work, and make it easier to maintain. Some components to target:

  1. sidebar
  2. theme switcher for light-dark
  3. input for search bars
  4. button and button group
  5. badges
  6. keyboard key
