Component Patterns

Card:

<div className="bg-[#141414] border border-[#333333] rounded-lg p-4
                hover:bg-[#1f1f1f] transition-colors">

Button:

<button className="px-4 py-2 bg-blue-600 text-white rounded-md font-medium
                   hover:bg-blue-700 disabled:opacity-50">

Block Card (signal chain blocks):

const blockStyles = {
  di:     { border: 'border-blue-500/50',   bg: 'bg-blue-500/10' },
  amp:    { border: 'border-amber-500/50',  bg: 'bg-amber-500/10' },
  cab:    { border: 'border-green-500/50',  bg: 'bg-green-500/10' },
  effect: { border: 'border-purple-500/50', bg: 'bg-purple-500/10' },
};

Aesthetic Principles

Do

  • Intentional choices - Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work
  • Dominant colors with sharp accents - Not timid, evenly-distributed palettes
  • Atmosphere and depth - Gradients, textures, layered transparencies
  • Purposeful motion - High-impact moments over scattered micro-interactions

Avoid ("AI Slop")

  • Overused fonts without character
  • Cliched color schemes (purple gradients on white)
  • Predictable layouts and component patterns
  • Cookie-cutter design lacking context-specific character
