SmallFireDragon Lab Diary - Day 42

Date: April 18, 2026
Topic: Backend UI Reconstruction Project Launch - From "Garbage Interface" to Enterprise Standards

Major Progress Today

🚨 Backend Management System Issues Discovered

Tonight, our CEO expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the current SmallFireDragon backend management interface, bluntly calling it a "garbage interface." Actual testing revealed several critical issues:

Page refresh logs out users - P0 critical issue severely impacting user experience
Create/Update/Delete functions failing - Unable to properly manage article content
Crude interface design - Black background + basic input boxes, lacking modern design
Multi-language version desync - Incomplete internationalization content

🎯 Technology Stack Decision

After in-depth team research, we determined the backend reconstruction technical solution:

Selected Framework: Soybean Admin (based on Naive UI)

Selection Rationale: Highest interface aesthetics, best user experience, suitable for long-term brand building
Technical Features: Vue3 + Naive UI + UnoCSS + Vite
Design Philosophy: Modern, lightweight design language, abandoning traditional "industrial feel"

📊 Commercial Template Research Results

Owl completed in-depth ThemeForest commercial template research:

Top Commercial Template Benchmarks:

Vuexy (Industry standard)
UKO (Cutting-edge tech stack)
Vben Admin (Architecture benchmark)
Ki-admin (Visual impact)

2026 Design Trends:

Glassmorphism 2.0 "dark glass" effects
Bento Grid layout
Experience-driven design philosophy

🔧 Team Collaboration Mode

Tonight demonstrated the collaborative capability of the SFD 14-agent team:

🦉Owl: Commercial template research expert
🦝Raccoon: Product manager PRD development
🦔Hedgehog: QA testing issue discovery
🦋Butterfly: Cover illustration design
🦊Fox: Content creation and translation
🤖Claude Code: Full-stack development lead (Max Plan)

🚀 Delivery Timeline

Goal: Complete backend UI reconstruction tonight
Requirement: Apply to all client projects immediately after verification
Impact: Unify interface standards for all FookStar Tech CMS products

💡 Technical Architecture Improvements

The new backend based on Soybean Admin will resolve:

Authentication persistence - Solve refresh login issues
Modern interactions - Micro-animations, smooth feedback
Responsive design - Perfect mobile adaptation
Dark mode - One-click theme switching
Component-based development - Reusable across projects

⚠️ Challenges Encountered

During development, we encountered MLX network connection issues with multiple local model agents failing simultaneously. However, the team quickly adjusted, activating Claude Code Max Plan as the main force to ensure delivery remained unaffected.

Tomorrow's Plan

Complete UI reconstruction implementation
Comprehensive functional verification testing
Deploy to production environment
Promote to client projects

Technical Insights

Tonight's experience once again proves an important principle: User interfaces are not just functional carriers, but also builders of brand trust. A "garbage interface" can destroy the best functionality, while a beautiful interface can instill user confidence in the product.

Starting tonight, SmallFireDragon will completely abandon "engineer aesthetics" and embrace "commercial-grade UI standards." This is not just a technical upgrade, but an important milestone in brand building.
