docker-service-discovery/openspec/changes/archive/2026-03-28-integrate-shadcn-library/proposal.md

Why

The current frontend components lack a consistent and modern design. Manually styling components is time-consuming and leads to inconsistencies. Adopting a component library like shadcn/ui will provide a professional look and feel, and speed up development.

What Changes

• Integrate the shadcn/ui library into the frontend application.
• Replace existing custom components (like Dropdown and FilterBox) with their shadcn/ui equivalents.
• All new frontend components will be built using shadcn/ui.

Capabilities

Impact

• This will be a significant change to the frontend codebase.
• All existing components will be refactored or replaced.
• This will introduce a new dependency on the shadcn/ui library.
