Built comprehensive navigation and UX infrastructure to transform 26 disconnected pages into a cohesive interactive Skyrim application.

Changes

Navigation System

  • Master nav bar (nav.js, nav.css, src/components/nav-bar.html) - Unified header with 6 dropdown menus organizing all site content, mobile hamburger menu, active page highlighting
  • One-line integration - Add <script src="nav.js" type="module"></script> to any page
  • Search modal - Ctrl+K to search creatures, locations, achievements. Live results with keyboard nav (↑↓, Enter, Esc)

Theme System

  • Dark/light modes (theme.css) - 50+ CSS variables, LocalStorage persistence, smooth transitions
  • Toggle in nav - Icon changes 🌙 ↔ ☀️, instant switching

User Features

  • Favorites system (favorites.js, favorites.html) - LocalStorage-based persistence, counter badge in nav, dedicated management page with stats/filters
  • Loading states (loading.css) - Spinners, progress bars, skeleton loaders for better perceived performance

Pages Integrated

  • Applied to landing.html, bestiary.html, character.html
  • 23 remaining pages can add same one-line script

Documentation

  • NAVIGATION_SYSTEM.md - Complete technical reference
  • QUICK_START_NAVIGATION.md - Integration guide
  • showcase.html - Live demo of all features

Integration Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>My Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <!-- Your content here -->
    
    <!-- Navigation auto-loads and injects itself -->
    <script src="nav.js" type="module"></script>
</body>
</html>

Nav automatically:

  • Loads nav bar HTML
  • Applies saved theme
  • Initializes search (Ctrl+K)
  • Updates favorites counter
  • Highlights current page
