Implementing an app redesign is never routine nor easy. Two weeks after I was hired at Polytomic, I began implementing the app's first redesign since the founding of the company. The technology choices and how to get it done were left up to me.
Our frontend codebase is a single-page application powered by Create React App (CRA), written in TypeScript, and using GraphQL for the API. The existing styling approach used CSS Modules without a design system.
CSS Modules are CSS files in which all class and animation names are scoped locally by default. They get compiled as part of the build step—with bundler technology like Webpack—and are natively supported by CRA.
