NutriProfile Responsive Design Skill

You are a responsive design expert for the NutriProfile application. This skill helps you implement mobile-first layouts that work across all screen sizes from 375px (iPhone SE) to 1920px+ (desktop).

Mobile-First Approach

ALWAYS design for mobile first, then add breakpoints for larger screens.

// ✅ CORRECT: Mobile-first
className="text-sm sm:text-base md:text-lg lg:text-xl"

// ❌ WRONG: Desktop-first
className="text-xl lg:text-lg md:text-base sm:text-sm"

Tailwind Breakpoints

Prefix	Min Width	Target Device
(none)	0px	Mobile (iPhone SE, 375px)
`sm:`	640px	Large phones, small tablets
`md:`	768px	Tablets (iPad)
`lg:`	1024px	Laptops
`xl:`	1280px	Desktops
`2xl:`	1536px	Large desktops

Common Patterns

Typography

// Page titles
className="text-2xl sm:text-3xl md:text-4xl lg:text-5xl font-bold"

// Section headings
className="text-xl sm:text-2xl md:text-3xl font-semibold"

// Body text
className="text-sm sm:text-base"

// Small text / labels
className="text-xs sm:text-sm"

// Navigation labels (bottom nav)
className="text-[10px] sm:text-xs"

Spacing

// Container padding
className="p-3 sm:p-4 md:p-6 lg:p-8"

// Section padding
className="py-12 sm:py-16 md:py-20 lg:py-24"

// Grid gaps
className="gap-2 sm:gap-3 md:gap-4 lg:gap-6"

// Component margins
className="mb-4 sm:mb-6 md:mb-8"

Grid Layouts

// Cards grid
className="grid grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4 gap-4"

// Dashboard widgets
className="grid grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 lg:grid-cols-4 gap-3 sm:gap-4"

// Form layout
className="grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-4"

Buttons

// Full width on mobile, auto on desktop
className="w-full sm:w-auto"

// Touch-friendly size (min 44px)
className="px-4 py-3 sm:px-6 sm:py-3 min-h-[44px] text-sm sm:text-base"

// Icon buttons
className="p-2 sm:p-3 min-h-[44px] min-w-[44px]"

Modals

// Modal container - never exceed viewport
className="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex items-center justify-center p-4"

// Modal content - responsive width
className="relative w-full max-w-[calc(100vw-32px)] sm:max-w-md md:max-w-lg bg-white rounded-xl"

// Modal with max height
className="max-h-[calc(100vh-32px)] overflow-y-auto"

Navigation

Bottom Navigation (Mobile)

// Container
className="fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 z-50 bg-white border-t safe-area-bottom"

// Nav items
className="flex justify-around items-center h-16 sm:h-20"

// Nav item
className="flex flex-col items-center justify-center py-2 px-3 min-w-[64px]"

// Icon
className="h-5 w-5 sm:h-6 sm:w-6"

// Label
className="text-[10px] sm:text-xs mt-1 truncate max-w-[48px] sm:max-w-none"

Header Navigation (Desktop)

// Show on larger screens only
className="hidden md:flex items-center space-x-6"

Decorative Elements (Blobs)

// CRITICAL: Size blobs responsively to prevent overflow
className="
  absolute -top-20 -left-20
  w-[200px] h-[200px]
  sm:w-[350px] sm:h-[350px]
  md:w-[500px] md:h-[500px]
  bg-gradient-to-r from-primary-500 to-emerald-500
  rounded-full blur-3xl opacity-20
"

// Always hide overflow on parent container
className="relative overflow-hidden"

Images

// Responsive image
className="w-full h-auto object-cover"

// Hero image
className="w-full h-[200px] sm:h-[300px] md:h-[400px] object-cover"

// Avatar
className="w-10 h-10 sm:w-12 sm:h-12 rounded-full"

Cards

// Card container
className="
  bg-white dark:bg-gray-800
  rounded-lg sm:rounded-xl
  p-4 sm:p-6
  shadow-sm hover:shadow-md
  transition-shadow
"

// Card with image
className="
  overflow-hidden
  rounded-lg sm:rounded-xl
"

Touch Target Guidelines

Minimum touch target: 44x44 pixels

// Interactive elements must be at least 44px
className="min-h-[44px] min-w-[44px]"

// Add padding to reach minimum
className="p-3"  // 12px padding on each side

// For inline links, add vertical padding
className="py-2 -my-2"  // Visual alignment preserved

Safe Area (iPhone Notch)

// Bottom navigation
className="pb-safe"  // Uses safe-area-inset-bottom

// Or with Tailwind config
className="pb-[env(safe-area-inset-bottom)]"

// Full safe area
className="p-safe"

Dark Mode

// Background
className="bg-white dark:bg-gray-900"

// Text
className="text-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100"

// Borders
className="border-gray-200 dark:border-gray-700"

// Hover states
className="hover:bg-gray-100 dark:hover:bg-gray-800"

Overflow Prevention

// Prevent horizontal scroll on page
<body className="overflow-x-hidden">

// Container with decorative elements
<div className="relative overflow-hidden">
  {/* Decorative blobs */}
</div>

// Text truncation
className="truncate"  // Single line
className="line-clamp-2"  // Multiple lines

Common Issues & Fixes

Issue: Horizontal overflow

// Fix: Add overflow-hidden to container
className="overflow-hidden"

// Fix: Use max-width with calc
className="max-w-[calc(100vw-32px)]"

// Fix: Reduce decorative element sizes on mobile
className="w-[200px] sm:w-[400px]"

Issue: Text too small on mobile

// Fix: Start with readable size
className="text-sm sm:text-base"  // Not text-xs

Issue: Touch targets too small

// Fix: Add minimum size
className="min-h-[44px] min-w-[44px] p-3"

Issue: Modal exceeds viewport

// Fix: Use calc for max dimensions
className="max-w-[calc(100vw-32px)] max-h-[calc(100vh-32px)]"

Issue: Content hidden behind bottom nav

// Fix: Add padding to main content
className="pb-20"  // Height of bottom nav + spacing
