The old page was the default dark-SaaS template: near-black ground, violet gradient headline, blur-glow orbs, glassmorphic rounded cards, emoji icons. It looked like every other generated landing page and said nothing about what the product is for. This one is built out of document materials, because the product is about documents: - Warm newsprint stock (#f2efe6) and warm near-black ink instead of near-black and violet. Two accents only, each with a job: vermilion is reserved exclusively for content that was hiding, olive for content that has been cleared. Nothing else gets to be colored. - Instrument Serif carries the headlines, Geist Mono carries labels and metadata, so the UI sans never has to pretend to be expressive. - Hairline rules do the structural work that bordered cards were doing. The six hiding places are now a numbered editorial list rather than a grid of identical rounded boxes, and the pipeline steps are a ruled table with serif numerals. - Left-aligned asymmetric hero with a colophon block, rather than everything stacked down the center axis. - The self-host section inverts to ink for tonal contrast, which also gives the terminal block somewhere natural to live. The page also now practices what it preaches: there is a real white-on-white sentence planted in the hero, and an X-ray switch in the nav reveals it. Selecting it works too, the same way it would in a PDF viewer. The four-stage demo keeps its behavior and moves to the new palette. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
