The Prompt
# Forge β Developer Tool Startup Site ## Goal Build a production-ready developer tool startup site called "Forge". Overall vibe: terminal-native, no-nonsense, built by engineers for engineers. It should look hand-crafted by a senior product designer β not like a generic template. ## Design System - **Palette**: pure #09090B base, zinc-300 text, single lime #A3E635 accent used like a cursor highlight; no gradients anywhere - **Typography**: mono-first: Geist Mono for headings AND code, Inter for body; headings uppercase with 0.08em tracking at small sizes - **Grid & spacing**: 12-col grid, 8px base unit. Desktop sections 112-128px vertical padding, mobile 56-64px. - **Corners & borders**: cards 16px radius, buttons 10px, inputs 10px. 1px borders at 8-12% white (dark) or 8% black (light). - **Shadows**: layered, soft (0 1px 2px + 0 8px 24px), never harsh. ## Page Structure 1. **Navbar** β text-only links, GitHub star count badge fetched at build time, 'npm install forge' copy-button right. 2. **Hero** β fake terminal window (traffic-light dots, tab bar) that types out an install + run sequence with realistic output lines, caret blinking; headline above it, one CTA: 'Read the docs'. 3. **Code tabs** β tabbed snippet block (CLI / Config / CI) with syntax highlighting and a copy button per tab. 4. **Feature list** β 6 terse rows, each: lime `>` marker, bold feature name, one-line explanation. No icons, no cards. 5. **Benchmark table** β comparison vs two generic alternatives: rows are metrics, Forge column highlighted with lime left border. 6. **Quote strip** β 3 short developer quotes with GitHub avatars and handles. 7. **Footer** β minimal: docs / changelog / GitHub / X, version number right-aligned. ## Motion - Terminal typing at 24 chars/sec with occasional 120ms pauses; output lines appear in batches. - Section reveals are opacity-only (no translate) β keeps the engineering-tool sobriety. - Copy buttons flash 'copied' inline for 1.2s, no toast. - All entrances use IntersectionObserver-triggered reveals; never animate on every scroll tick. - Respect `prefers-reduced-motion`: disable transforms, keep opacity fades under 150ms. ## Details That Matter - Everything keyboard-navigable; add a '/' shortcut hint in navbar that focuses a docs-search stub. - 404 page is a terminal error message with a `cd /home` link. ## Tech & Quality Bar - Next.js App Router + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS. No UI kit β style from scratch. - Fully responsive at 375 / 768 / 1024 / 1440px. Mobile nav becomes a full-screen overlay with staggered link reveal. - Semantic landmarks (header/main/section/footer), WCAG AA contrast, focus-visible rings on all interactive elements. - Optimize LCP: hero media preloaded, fonts `display: swap`, zero layout shift.
