Description

@DJJones66

This issue implements a redesign of the login screen to improve user experience and provide better guidance during the authentication process.

Changes Implemented

  1. Swapped Layout:

    • Login/Register form moved to the left side
    • Build/Control/Benefit information moved to the right side
  2. Dynamic Contextual Help:

    • When a user focuses on a form field, the right panel displays field-specific information
    • This includes format requirements, validation rules, and security notes
    • When focus is lost, the panel returns to showing the Build/Control/Benefit information
  3. Enhanced Error Handling:

    • Error messages are displayed in the contextual help area when a field is focused
    • This provides more space for detailed error explanations
    • When no field is focused, errors still appear in the form area as alerts
  4. Local Storage Emphasis:

    • Each field's help text includes a note that "All data is stored locally on your device"
    • This builds user trust and addresses privacy concerns

Technical Implementation

  • Added state to track which field is currently focused
  • Created a FieldHelp component for displaying contextual information
  • Added focus/blur handlers to all form fields
  • Updated error handling to display errors in the contextual help area
  • Maintained mobile responsiveness with appropriate layout adjustments

Benefits

  • Provides immediate feedback and guidance to users
  • Reduces form errors by providing clear instructions
  • Improves user trust by emphasizing local data storage
  • Creates a more intuitive and user-friendly authentication experience
