🔍 1. Fixing Fragile Discord Selectors

The Problem:
Our theme currently relies on Discord's class names (e.g., .container-2cd8Mz). The issue? Discord updates frequently, breaking our styles when these classes change.

✅ How to Fix It:

• Use CSS variables instead of hardcoded class names wherever possible.
• Build in error resilience:

  const sidebar = document.querySelector('[aria-label="Server sidebar"]');
  if (sidebar) {
    injectCatppuccinStyles(sidebar);
  } else {
    console.log("🔍 Catppuccin: Sidebar not found—did Discord update?");
  }

• Pro Tip: Setting up a Canary build monitor helps us catch UI changes before they cause major issues.

⚡ 2. Improving Performance

The Issue:
Heavy CSS/JS injections could slow down Discord’s startup.

🚀 Optimizations:

• Use requestIdleCallback for non-essential animations:

  requestIdleCallback(() => {
    applyFancyAnimations();
  });

• Minify CSS/JS for production builds (Webpack/Rollup can help!).

🌈 3. Accessibility Check

Why It Matters:
Some pastel colors might not meet contrast standards, making the theme harder to read for some users.

🛠️ Solution:

• Run an audit using [Axe DevTools](https://deque.com/axe/).
• Ensure at least a 4.5:1 contrast ratio for readability:

  $text: #cdd6f4; // Light text  
  $base: #1e1e2e; // Dark background

🧹 4. Preventing Memory Leaks

Potential Issue:
Event listeners for theme toggles may not get removed properly, leading to memory leaks.

🔧 Solution:

• Always remove event listeners when the theme is disabled:

  let themeToggleListener = null;
  
  function setupThemeToggle() {
    const toggleButton = document.querySelector('#catppuccin-toggle');
    themeToggleListener = () => toggleTheme();
    toggleButton?.addEventListener('click', themeToggleListener);
  }
  
  window.addEventListener('beforeunload', () => {
    toggleButton?.removeEventListener('click', themeToggleListener);
  });

📖 5. Improving Documentation

What’s Missing?

• A troubleshooting guide for conflicts with other themes.
• Contributor guidelines for color scheme updates.

📝 Let’s Update README.md with:

## 🚑 Troubleshooting  
- **Theme not applying?**  
  1. Disable conflicting extensions (BetterDiscord/Vencord).  
  2. Clear Discord cache (`Ctrl + R` twice).  
- **If a Discord update breaks the theme, submit an issue!**  

## 🎨 Contributing  
- Follow the [Catppuccin palette guidelines](https://github.com/catppuccin/palette).  
- Test changes on **Discord Canary** before submitting PRs.

🔄 6. Safer Dependency Management

Problem:
Our package.json has hardcoded versions ("sass": "1.54.0"), which can miss security updates.

✅ Solution: Use caret (^) for minor updates:

"devDependencies": {
  "sass": "^1.69.0",
  "webpack": "^5.89.0"
}

Run npm outdated regularly to stay up to date!

🌍 7. Adding Localization Support

Why?
Catppuccin has a global community, so let’s make the theme more accessible!

🌎 How to Add i18n:

1. Create a lang/ folder with JSON files for translations:

   // lang/es-ES.json
   {
     "themeName": "Tema Catppuccin",
     "description": "Un tema suave y acogedor para Discord."
   }

2. Load translations based on Discord’s language setting.

🛠️ Bonus Maintenance Tips

✅ Set up GitHub Actions to:

• Lint CSS/JS automatically.
• Check for deprecated Discord class names.

✅ Add an ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md to guide bug reports.
✅ Keep a CHANGELOG.md so users can track updates.

🎨 Final Touches

• Show Off the Theme! Add screenshots of dark & light modes to the README.
• Use Semantic Versioning: Run npm version patch/minor/major for clear updates.
• Create a Discord Server for support and community feedback!
