October 2025: Delivered a major Sidebar UI modernization for n8n (n8n-io/n8n). Replaced Element UI with custom components to reduce dependency on a heavy UI framework, improve performance, and simplify maintenance, while preserving UX. Implemented improved scrolling behavior and ensured the source control and user area remain fixed at the bottom of the MainSidebar to prevent layout shifts. This work was driven by two commits: 574a7b805218eac815fec5a181e2d6d9e7a61c27 (refactor(editor): Remove element ui from sidebar and fix scrolling issue) and 0f28b3f75676ac30fddc219c2882b747308eac80 (fix(editor): Keep source control and user area fixed to bottom of sidebar). Overall, the changes reduce bundle size, speed up UI updates, and establish a more resilient foundation for future UI enhancements.
