Backend and full-stack Node.js developers evaluating or adopting a small OSS library for query latency visibility—often in dim editors or terminals, skimming docs quickly before npm install.
Instrument-like, calm, and exacting—closer to a lab readout than a startup landing page. Trust through restraint and readable structure, not decoration.
Dark, softly tinted neutrals (cool graphite, not pure black), one disciplined accent (jade / sea-glass, not neon cyan), asymmetric left-led layout with a clear typographic hierarchy. Anti-reference: centered “slide deck” marketing blocks, raster logos with light boxes on dark UI, gradient-stuffed hero templates.
- Alignment serves meaning — prose and code start at the same logical margin; code is always left-aligned and horizontally scrollable.
- Surfaces are tinted, not pure — backgrounds and text use OKLCH with controlled chroma; accents stay below ~12% of visual weight.
- Mark without raster hacks — wordmark renders as text + vector pulse so GitHub Pages never shows a white logo slab.
- One motion story — light stagger on load; respect
prefers-reduced-motion. - Accessible defaults — visible focus, skip link, sufficient contrast on body and controls.
