Appwrite — Design System

dark · modern · medium · tailwind · confidence 92% · deep decode

Appwrite codes its brand for the dark IDE: Aeonik Pro at 72px/400 with gradient-filled letterforms ending in a terminal underscore ('...than ever_'), Inter at 16px, and its signature pink #FD366E accents on #19191C. Console panels and SDK grids glow like syntax highlighting — an open-source backend that styles itself as the editor its users live in.

Tokens

Appwrite's decoded design system: background #19191C, text #ECECEE, accent #85DBD8, link #85DBD8, primary #2B1B23; type scale h1 72px / h2 16px / body 14px; 4px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #FFFFFF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

# Appwrite — Design System

> dark, modern, medium, tailwind — deep decode (measured live)

Appwrite codes its brand for the dark IDE: Aeonik Pro at 72px/400 with gradient-filled letterforms ending in a terminal underscore ('...than ever_'), Inter at 16px, and its signature pink #FD366E accents on #19191C. Console panels and SDK grids glow like syntax highlighting — an open-source backend that styles itself as the editor its users live in.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#19191C` |
| surface | `#252528` |
| border | `#38383B` |
| text | `#ECECEE` |
| text_muted | `#9B9B9E` |
| primary | `#2B1B23` |
| accent | `#85DBD8` |
| link | `#85DBD8` |
| secondary | `#301C24` |
| button_bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| button_text | `#19191C` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#FFFFFF` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `primary` `#2B1B23`, `secondary` `#301C24` are visually the same color (Δ7) — treat as one role.
- `accent`, `link` are all `#85DBD8` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#85DBD8` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#19191C` 93.3% · `#5A484F` 6.7%

## Typography

- Heading: **Inter**
- Body: **Inter**

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 72px / 400 · lh 74px · tracking -1.58px |
| h2 | 48px / 400 · lh 52px · tracking -0.48px |
| h3 | 32px / 400 · lh 34px |
| body | 16px / 500 · lh 24px |
| small | 14px / 400 · lh 20px |
| eyebrow | 12px / 400 · tracking 0.96px |

- Weight ladder: 400 · 500 · 700 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

> **Fonts —** Inter — free, on Google.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 14px, 16px, 20px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 160px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 8px
- button: 8px
- card: 4px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#FD366E` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgb(253, 54, 110) | 8px | 9px 14px 9px 14px | 500 14px | none |
| secondary | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) | 8px | 7px 14px 7px 14px | 500 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `2px solid rgb(24, 99, 220)`
- secondary hover: box-shadow `rgba(253, 54, 110, 0.32) 0px 0px 32px 0px`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(172, 171, 171, 0.3) 0px -1px 10px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 300ms · 500ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `ease-in-out`
- animated properties: opacity, color, background-color, border-color

Micro-interactions use the dominant duration + easing; nothing on the page animates slower than the longest duration above — don't invent springier motion.

Rebuild the timeline, not just the durations — order, delays and staggers above are the choreography.

## Components (measured)
- input: h 34px · r 8px · border 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.06) · bg #19191C · placeholder #FFFFFF

- mobile (390px): hero 32px · body 16px · nav: hamburger

## How to apply
Paste the Tailwind `@theme` (or CSS variables) as your base, then build each
section to its spec — verify every color, radius, and font against these tokens.
Hover/focus states, shadows and motion timings above are measured from the live page — match them exactly, don't re-guess them.
