# netOrk — Visual Identity & Design System

This document defines the visual identity of netOrk and must be followed
exactly when building the website. The goal is zero visual discontinuity
between the product UI and the marketing site.

---

## Logo Assets

The logo file is in `public/` — use it directly, do not recreate.

| File | Format | Size | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| `public/logo.png` | PNG | 1024×1024, RGBA | Nav logo, OG image, hero, press kit, favicon fallback |

### Usage in `<img>` (nav, hero)

```tsx
<img src="/logo.png" alt="netOrk" className="h-8 w-8" />
```

For the nav, pair it with the wordmark:

```tsx
<a href="/" className="flex items-center gap-2.5">
  <img src="/logo.png" alt="" className="h-7 w-7" aria-hidden="true" />
  <span className="font-semibold text-slate-100 tracking-tight">
    net<span className="text-sky-400">Ork</span>
  </span>
</a>
```

Use `net<span class="text-sky-400">Ork</span>` consistently — the `Ork` part
in sky-400 ties the wordmark to the accent color.

### `<head>` references

```html
<link rel="icon" href="/logo.png" />
<meta property="og:image" content="/logo.png" />
```

---

## Core Principle

**The website looks like a dark-mode dev tool, not a SaaS landing page.**
No gradients, no floating orbs, no animated hero blobs. The aesthetic is
deliberate, minimal, and technical — consistent with the product itself.

---

## Color Palette

All colors are Tailwind CSS v3 classes. Do not use hex values directly —
always use Tailwind class names to stay consistent.

### Backgrounds

| Layer | Class | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Page / outermost | `bg-slate-950` | Body, full-bleed sections |
| Card / panel | `bg-slate-900` | Content cards, code blocks, feature boxes |
| Elevated element | `bg-slate-800` | Hover states, dropdowns, table rows on hover |
| Border | `border-slate-700` | Between sections, card outlines |
| Subtle border | `border-slate-800` | Inside cards, dividers |

### Text

| Role | Class |
|---|---|
| Primary | `text-slate-100` |
| Secondary / muted | `text-slate-400` |
| Tertiary / placeholder | `text-slate-500` |
| Accent (interactive) | `text-sky-400` |
| Danger | `text-red-400` |

### Accent (Interactive / CTA)

| State | Class |
|---|---|
| Default button | `bg-sky-600 text-white` |
| Hover | `hover:bg-sky-500` |
| Link / inline | `text-sky-400 hover:text-sky-300` |
| Active indicator | `text-sky-400` |
| Focus ring | `focus:ring-sky-500` |

### Semantic Colors

| Meaning | Color |
|---|---|
| Success / active | `text-green-400`, `bg-green-500/20` |
| Warning / caution | `text-yellow-400`, `bg-yellow-500/20` |
| Danger / error | `text-red-400`, `bg-red-500/20` |
| Info / neutral | `text-blue-400`, `bg-blue-500/20` |

### Status Badge Pattern

```tsx
// Active / online
<span className="text-xs font-medium px-2 py-0.5 rounded-full bg-green-500/20 text-green-400">
  active
</span>

// Offline
<span className="text-xs font-medium px-2 py-0.5 rounded-full bg-red-500/20 text-red-400">
  offline
</span>

// Warning
<span className="text-xs font-medium px-2 py-0.5 rounded-full bg-yellow-500/20 text-yellow-400">
  warning
</span>
```

## Typography

Font stack: Tailwind default sans-serif (`font-sans`). **No Google Fonts.**
The product uses system fonts; the website must match.

| Element | Classes |
|---|---|
| Hero heading | `text-4xl md:text-6xl font-bold text-slate-100 leading-tight` |
| Section heading | `text-2xl md:text-3xl font-bold text-slate-100` |
| Subsection heading | `text-xl font-semibold text-slate-200` |
| Body text | `text-base text-slate-400 leading-relaxed` |
| Small / label | `text-sm text-slate-400` |
| Tiny / tag | `text-xs font-medium text-slate-500` |
| Code / monospace | `font-mono text-sky-400` |
| Accent text | `text-sky-400` |

---

## Spacing & Layout

- Max content width: `max-w-7xl mx-auto px-6`
- Section padding: `py-24` (desktop), `py-16` (mobile)
- Card padding: `p-6`
- Gap between grid items: `gap-6` or `gap-8`
- All layouts are mobile-first; use `md:` and `lg:` breakpoints.

---

## Components

### Primary CTA Button

```tsx
<a
  href="/docs/getting-started"
  className="inline-flex items-center gap-2 px-6 py-3 rounded-lg
             bg-sky-600 hover:bg-sky-500 text-white font-medium
             transition-colors"
>
  Get started
</a>
```

### Secondary / Ghost Button

```tsx
<a
  href="/features"
  className="inline-flex items-center gap-2 px-6 py-3 rounded-lg
             border border-slate-700 hover:border-slate-500
             text-slate-300 hover:text-slate-100
             transition-colors"
>
  See all features
</a>
```

### Feature Card

```tsx
<div className="rounded-xl border border-slate-800 bg-slate-900 p-6">
  <div className="mb-4 flex h-10 w-10 items-center justify-center
                  rounded-lg bg-sky-600/10">
    {/* Heroicon SVG, className="h-5 w-5 text-sky-400" */}
  </div>
  <h3 className="mb-2 text-lg font-semibold text-slate-100">Feature name</h3>
  <p className="text-sm text-slate-400 leading-relaxed">
    Description of the feature in one to three sentences.
  </p>
</div>
```

### Screenshot Frame

App screenshots must be wrapped in this frame to integrate naturally
against the dark background:

```tsx
<div className="rounded-xl border border-slate-700 overflow-hidden shadow-2xl">
  <img src="/screenshots/device-list.png" alt="Device inventory" className="w-full" />
</div>
```

Optionally add a browser chrome header above the image:

```tsx
<div className="flex items-center gap-1.5 border-b border-slate-700 bg-slate-800 px-4 py-2.5">
  <span className="h-2.5 w-2.5 rounded-full bg-red-500/70" />
  <span className="h-2.5 w-2.5 rounded-full bg-yellow-500/70" />
  <span className="h-2.5 w-2.5 rounded-full bg-green-500/70" />
  <span className="ml-4 text-xs text-slate-500 font-mono">netork.local</span>
</div>
```

### Code Block

```tsx
<pre className="rounded-xl border border-slate-800 bg-slate-900 p-6
               font-mono text-sm text-slate-300 overflow-x-auto">
  <code>{`bash scripts/deploy.sh 192.168.1.1`}</code>
</pre>
```

### Driver / Integration Badge

```tsx
<span className="inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 px-3 py-1 rounded-full
                 border border-slate-700 bg-slate-900
                 text-xs font-medium text-slate-300">
  OpenWRT
</span>
```

### Section Divider

```tsx
<div className="border-t border-slate-800" />
```

## Navigation

- Sticky top nav: `sticky top-0 z-10 bg-slate-900/80 backdrop-blur
  border-b border-slate-800`
- Logo: left-aligned. Product name in `font-semibold text-slate-100`,
  optionally prefixed with a small icon.
- Nav links: `text-sm text-slate-400 hover:text-slate-100 transition-colors`
- Active link: `text-slate-100`
- CTA in nav: small primary button `px-4 py-1.5 text-sm`

---

## Animations & Transitions

- **Hover states:** always `transition-colors` (not `transition-all`).
- **No JavaScript animations** on initial page load — no entrance animations,
  no scroll-triggered reveals via IntersectionObserver.
- Scroll behavior: `scroll-smooth` on `<html>` for anchor links.
- No parallax, no floating elements, no auto-playing videos.

---

## Logo / Wordmark

The netOrk wordmark uses the following convention in the product:
- Lowercase `n`, uppercase `O`: **netOrk**
- Monospace context: `font-mono text-sky-400`
- Heading context: `font-bold text-slate-100` with `Ork` potentially in
  `text-sky-400` if desired for emphasis

---

## Iconography

Use Heroicons (inline SVG). Sizes:
- Feature card icons: `h-5 w-5`
- Nav / button icons: `h-4 w-4`
- Hero / large decorative: `h-8 w-8` or `h-10 w-10`

All icons: `text-sky-400` in feature contexts, `text-slate-400` in
secondary/muted contexts.

---

## tailwind.config.js

No custom theme extensions needed. The default Tailwind v3 slate + sky
palette covers everything. The config only needs content paths:

```js
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
export default {
  content: ['./index.html', './src/**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}'],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
}
```
