Description

The Tracker page is functional, but there are several UI/UX improvements that can make it more modern, intuitive, responsive, and contributor-friendly. This issue focuses on enhancing the overall experience for users while maintaining the existing functionality.

Current Problems

  • Input fields and filters lack proper visual hierarchy.
  • The Fetch Data button does not stand out as the primary action.
  • No meaningful empty-state message when no Issues/PRs are available.
  • Filter section and results table feel disconnected.
  • Mobile responsiveness can be improved.
  • Accessibility improvements are needed.
  • Loading, success, and error states are not clearly communicated.
  • Date picker and dropdown styling are inconsistent with the overall design.
