A Fresh New Look for AttachmentScanner

We've been working on something we're excited to share: AttachmentScanner has a brand new look. Every page of the dashboard has been redesigned from the ground up with a cleaner, more modern interface that makes managing your scanners and reviewing scan results faster and easier.

Why the Redesign?

When we first launched AttachmentScanner, we built the dashboard with Bootstrap. It served us well, but as the product grew we found ourselves fighting the framework more than working with it. Pages felt cluttered, customisation was painful, and the overall experience didn't match the quality of the API underneath.

We wanted an interface that felt as clean and purposeful as the API itself. Something fast, easy to navigate, and built to grow with the product.

What's Changed

The entire dashboard has been rebuilt using Tailwind CSS. If you've used AttachmentScanner before, you'll notice the difference immediately:

• Cleaner layout — less visual noise, more focus on the data that matters
• Improved scan results — the requests table is easier to scan (pun intended) with better status indicators and search filtering
• Weekly usage chart — see your scan volume at a glance with the updated activity graph
• Consistent design — every page from account settings to admin views shares the same design language
• Faster load times — we've removed a significant amount of unused CSS, resulting in smaller page sizes

Under the Hood

For the technically curious: we migrated incrementally, page by page, running both frameworks in parallel during the transition. A simple toggle let us switch between Bootstrap and Tailwind on a per-controller basis while we worked through each view. Once every page was migrated, we removed Bootstrap entirely — along with about 1,500 lines of legacy SCSS.

The result is a lighter, more maintainable codebase that's easier for us to iterate on. Which means new features and improvements ship faster.

What Hasn't Changed

The API remains exactly the same. Your integrations, API keys, and scan workflows are completely unaffected. This is purely a front-end refresh — everything under the hood continues to work as it always has.

What's Next

This redesign lays the groundwork for some features we've been planning. We'll have more to share soon, but in the meantime we'd love to hear what you think of the new look.

If you spot anything that doesn't look right, or you have feedback on the new design, don't hesitate to get in touch.
