Bandscanner Refactoring UI
for Speed & Scale
The Challenge
When I took over, I faced a choice: keep patching a slow custom system, or rebuild it for speed. I chose speed.
The Bottleneck
The legacy custom system was slowing us down. Inconsistent colors and components meant every new feature required building from scratch.
Switching to shadcn/ui
I pitched shadcn/ui to align design with development. It meant we could stop rebuilding the same components and start shipping features faster.
Code-First Design
For missing components like the calendar, I didn’t just draw rectangles. I found a compatible library first, then designed the UI to match the code—saving developers hours of custom work.
The Velocity
The result? A flood of "Ready for Dev" tickets. We cut down UI production time significantly, allowing the team to iterate faster than ever.
The Result
By speaking the same language as the developers, we didn't just build a better UI—we built a faster, more efficient product team.
