## Overview

Supabase | The Postgres Development Platform: Build production-grade applications with a Postgres database, Authentication, instant APIs, Realtime, Functions, Storage and Vector embeddings. Start for free.

Sharp, squared-off controls, layered shadows for depth, confident display type at 46px / 500, a single green accent on neutrals. The site ships in light mode by default. Measured from 6000 rendered elements at 1440px wide on 2026-09-28.

Reference screenshots live beside this file; look at them before writing any layout, they carry the composition, density and image treatment that tokens cannot:

- `screenshots/desktop-1440-fold.png`: Desktop 1440, above the fold
- `screenshots/desktop-1440-full.jpg`: Desktop 1440, full page
- `screenshots/desktop-1440-dark.png`: Desktop 1440, dark mode
- `screenshots/laptop-1024-fold.png`: Laptop 1024, above the fold
- `screenshots/tablet-768-fold.png`: Tablet 768, above the fold
- `screenshots/phone-390-fold.png`: Phone 390, above the fold
- `screenshots/phone-390-full.jpg`: Phone 390, full page

## Colors

| Token | Value | Use |
| --- | --- | --- |
| background | `#f8f3ef` | Page background |
| foreground | `#ffffff` | Primary text |
| muted-foreground | `#001a10` | Secondary text, captions |
| primary | `#3fcf8e` | Accent: primary buttons, links, focus |
| on-primary | `#111111` | Text on the accent |
| secondary | `#8e4ec6` | Secondary accent (pink) |
| border | `#3fcf8e` | Hairlines, dividers, input borders |

Full painted palette by area (largest first): `#f8f3ef`, `#000000`, `#0c0f24`, `#002533`, `#a9f1ca`, `#8e4ec6`, `#be93e4`, `#0070f3`.

Gradients in use: `linear-gradient(oklch(0.1 0 34 / 0.0812725) 0px, oklab(0.1 0 0 / 0.0406362) 100%)`; `linear-gradient(rgb(253, 73, 168) 0%, rgb(253, 41, 128) 10%, rgb(252, 26, 88) 20%, rgb(250, 31, 65) 30%, rgb(250, 39, 51) 40%, rgb(251, 61, 38) 50%, rgb(252, 84`; `linear-gradient(to top, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 50%, oklch(1 0 34) 85%)`.

The accent `#3fcf8e` is used sparingly: primary buttons, links and focus rings. Everything else stays neutral.

## Typography

- **Manrope** for h1, h2, h3: Google Fonts (Manrope).
- **Inter** for body, label, button: Google Fonts (Inter).

## Dark Mode

Both themes exist; the default render is light and the dark theme was reached via prefers-color-scheme. Token pairs, light → dark:

| Token | Light | Dark |
| --- | --- | --- |
| background | `#f8f3ef` | `#0b0e0d` |
| foreground | `#ffffff` | `#ffffff` |
| primary | `#3fcf8e` | `#94e6b7` |
| on-primary | `#111111` | `#111111` |
| secondary | `#8e4ec6` | `#8e4ec6` |
| border | `#3fcf8e` | `#3ecf8e` |

Dark-theme shadows: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 1px 3px 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.04) 0px 1px 0px 0px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px -1px 0px 0px inset, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset`; `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.12) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset`; `oklab(0.999994 0.0000455678 0.0000200868 / 0.3) 0px 0px 0px 1px`; `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 10px 15px -3px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 4px 6px -4px`

## Responsive Behavior

| Viewport | Content width | Gutter | Body | H1 | Header | Hero | Grids | Buttons |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| desktop 1440px | 1280px | 176px | 16px | 46px, 2 lines, start | 65px, 6 links, 2 CTA | text only | 2→2 col; 2→1 col; 6→6 col | content-width |
| laptop 1024px | 928px | 48px | 16px | 46px, 2 lines, start | 65px, 6 links, 2 CTA | text only | 2→2 col; 2→1 col; 6→6 col | content-width |
| tablet 768px | 720px | 24px | 16px | 46px, 2 lines, start | 65px, 0 links | text only | 2→2 col; 2→1 col; 2→1 col | content-width |
| phone 390px | 342px | 24px | 16px | 34px, 2 lines, start | 65px, 0 links | text only | 2→2 col; 2→1 col; 2→1 col | 1 full-width |

- H1 goes 46px → 34px (74%), 2 → 2 lines.
- Nav never collapses to a hamburger (0 links still visible at 390px).
- Body text stays 16px at every width.
- Phone side gutter 24px.
- 1 buttons stretch full-width on phones.

## Interaction & Motion

3559 elements carry transitions; typical 0.4s with ease, mostly on opacity, background-color, border-color. 4 running keyframe animations (pulse 0.6s infinite; marquee-reverse 30s infinite; marquee 35s infinite).

- Hover on button-primary ("Start your project"): no visible change; cursor pointer; transition background-color, border-color, color, scale | 0.2s | cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1).
- Hover on button-secondary ("Product"): text oklch(0.1 0 34) → oklch(0.525 0.12 157.5), icon/inner colour → oklch(0.525 0.12 157.5); cursor pointer; transition background-color, border-color, color, scale | 0.2s | cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1).
- Hover on nav-link ("Pricing"): no visible change; cursor pointer.
- Focus on button-primary: box-shadow ring rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, oklch(0.995 0 34) 0px .
- No tooltips: nothing on the page carries tooltip attributes or roles and no tooltip styles exist. Do not add tooltips when rebuilding.
- Hover/click menus: below the trigger, 6px gap, shifted right; oklch(1 0 34), radius 16px, padding 0px 0px, shadow yes; 18 items, 40px tall, 14px, padding 0px 0px, with icons, with descriptions, 2 columns; appears instantly (no fade); stays open after the pointer leaves (click-away or hover-intent grace).
- 5 sizable elements sit at opacity 0 before scrolling: scroll-reveal animations are in use (reveal on enter, fade + rise is the usual recipe).

Full detail (every overlay, table, form, scroll and text rule measured) is in `BEHAVIOR.md`; raw evidence in `evidence.json`.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use 8px multiples for every padding, margin and gap; the site does not use odd values.
- Do reserve `#3fcf8e` for actions and focus; never paint large areas with it.
- Do keep body text at 14px in Inter and headings in Manrope.
- Do match corner radii per element class (buttons 0px, cards 21px); do not pick one radius for everything.
- Do use the measured shadows above; do not invent heavier ones.
- Don't substitute a different accent hue or introduce gradients that are not listed above.
- Don't rebuild from the tokens alone; open the screenshots for composition, density and image treatment.
- Note: Body text contrast is 1.1:1 against the page background (below 4.5:1).
