Shortwave — design system & UI screens
Near-black hero centers a single chat-style prompt input ("Check my calendar") under a giant two-tone "Automate your email with AI" headline, with a blue "Get started for free" pill and a "Saw us in the New York Times" eyebrow chip. The signature element is the recurring product-UI vignette treatment: every feature is paired with a realistic dark Shortwave inbox/calendar/snippet screenshot (color-coded labels, AI todo cards, message threads) rather than icons. The page closes with a 24-cell three-column feature grid under "But wait, there's more..." and a centered "The future of email available today" CTA.

Decoded design system
Shortwave's decoded design system: background #0F0F16, text #ECECEE, accent #356AFF, link #9E9EFF, primary #356AFF; type scale h1 64px / h2 52px / body 16px; 8px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #356AFF — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.
