Instant — design system & UI screens
Warm light landing; an 'npx create-instant-app' command with an embedded founder video, positioning InstantDB as a real-time backend (auth, permissions, storage, presence).
This is a static, crawlable rendering for search & AI engines. The interactive version — filters, live decode console, copy & export — is at https://mozaika.design/website/instant.
Decoded design system
Instant's decoded design system: background #FBF9F6, text #333333, accent #F54900, link #6A7282, primary #F54900; type scale h1 48px / h2 48px / body 20px; 4px spacing base; 0px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #F54900 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Using these colors
- Action color
#F54900— the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills. primary,accent,button_bgare all#F54900— one role, not several (the action color).- accent
#F54900— THE accent / action color — interactive & must-notice only (buttons, links, focus, one key highlight); never large fills or backgrounds. Scarcity is what makes it read as designed. - link
#6A7282— reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #F54900). - secondary
#364153— optional secondary accent — LOW decode confidence; use rarely (a status color or a single decorative moment) or omit it entirely. Prefer one accent unless the reference clearly shows two.
