This week at 120.dev, we've been working on the Settings window layout for our 120 AI Chat app and also expanded our component library to include native Checkboxes. These components maintain the same vibrant color palette as our buttons ensuring visual consistency across our applications.
We’ve improved the conversation management system that allows user to easily swap between different conversations in the 120 AI Chat app. The interface allows smooth transitions from your current conversation to a new one and back to previous threads without losing context.
We've implemented state preservation that maintains scroll position, input drafts, and context within each conversation. This enables users to jump between multiple ongoing discussions with different AI models or topics while preserving the flow of each individual chat.
We designed our Settings window with an adaptable layout featuring a sidebar navigation on the left. This architecture accommodates expanding feature sets and creates a responsive foundation for future mobile adaptation.
The sidebar design provides clear categorical organization while the scrollable content area ensures we can expand functionality without compromising the interface. This approach follows established patterns from desktop applications while preparing for responsive adaptation in future mobile iterations.
This week, we worked on a new component: Checkbox - with customizable sizing options, allowing seamless integration of checkboxes across different UI densities. This flexibility ensures consistent interaction patterns whether used in compact data tables or spacious form layouts in our Setting window.
We've introduced variant styles to our Checkbox component, enabling different visual expressions from minimal outlines to filled states. These variants provide design flexibility while preserving the core interaction model, maintaining consistent behavior patterns for different product contexts.
Our Checkboxes support custom accent colors that respect our accessibility standards while allowing product-specific theming. This implementation ensures visual harmony with surrounding UI elements while maintaining clear state indication across light and dark modes.
Next week, we'll be developing a Toast component to provide non-intrusive feedback for user actions across our applications. This will include various states (success, error, warning, info), customizable durations, and smooth entrance/exit animations
We'll also be enhancing our Settings window, adding system themes and API input functionality.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue refining the user experience across 120.dev!
