Closes the funnel. Before this the product could match two people and then stopped: `quotes`, `bookings` and `reviews` had tables and state machines and nothing that wrote a row, the entry deck's right swipe was wired to an empty handler, and every address resolved to the city centre. Jobs tab and chat - message router: thread, send, markRead, unreadTotal. A thread is a MATCH, not a job — one job with three interested pros is three private conversations. - Current/Past segments derived from ACTIVE_JOB_STATUSES, job detail listing the pros who accepted, and the conversation itself with attachments. Hiring from the deck - A right swipe on the entry deck opened nothing. It now resolves "which job?" through a sheet — sign in, pick an open job, or post one — and calls the same deck.swipe the per-job deck does, so the open-request cap and row lock apply exactly once. Swipes are vetoable so closing the sheet returns the card. Geocoding - ST_Distance and ST_DWithin rank and filter every deck, and both operands were placeholders. Addresses now resolve through Mapbox (permanent=true, which is what licenses storing the coordinates), the server resolves points rather than trusting client-supplied lat/lng, and every stored point records how it was obtained. A `city`-precision base cannot reach the verification queue. Quote -> booking -> review - The commercial chain, minus payments. Accepting a quote is the only place a booking is created; confirming completion is what unlocks reviews and moves the pro's completed_jobs. - Reviews publish double-blind with no sweeper: each is written with published_at already set to its embargo deadline and every read filters published_at <= now(), so it publishes itself. The second review pulls both forward. A silent counterparty cannot bury a bad review by never replying. State machine changes, both deliberate - booked -> matched: a cancelled booking is not a cancelled job. - scheduled -> awaiting_confirmation: in_progress is optional, so a pro who never tapped Start can still say the work is done. Test suite - api tests ran files in parallel against one database and failed roughly one run in three on whichever file lost the race. Serialised, and three fixtures that grabbed "the first client" pinned to the seeded accounts. Also includes work from a parallel session: admin verification queue, pro public profile and reviews read path, notification sending, denormalised stats recompute, search, and observability. 318 tests passing; typecheck and lint clean across 7 packages.

# Linkder Design System
|
||
|
||
**Version 1.0** · derived from the wix.com design language, adapted for Linkder.
|
||
|
||
This document is the single source of truth for how Linkder looks. Every screen must be
|
||
buildable from the tokens and components below. If a screen needs something that is not in
|
||
here, add it here first, then build it.
|
||
|
||
## Provenance and scope
|
||
|
||
The visual language is adapted from **wix.com** (sampled 2026-08-21): the Madefor typeface
|
||
pair, the signature action blue, the navy-black ink, the pill geometry and the generous
|
||
whitespace rhythm. Values below were read off the live stylesheet, not eyeballed.
|
||
|
||
Adopted: typefaces (Wix Madefor Display / Text, published under the SIL Open Font License via
|
||
Google Fonts), colour ramps, radius and spacing conventions, component geometry.
|
||
|
||
**Not** adopted: Wix's logo, wordmark, product names, illustrations or photography. Linkder is
|
||
not affiliated with Wix and must never present itself as such.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 1. Principles
|
||
|
||
0. **Mobile only.** One column, one container, thumb-reachable actions, no desktop layout and
|
||
no marketing site. See §4 — this constrains every other decision here.
|
||
1. **Blue means action.** `brand-500` is reserved for things the user can do. It is never
|
||
decoration, never a background wash for a whole section, never body text.
|
||
2. **Ink is near-black, not grey.** Headings sit at `ink-950` (`#000624`) — black with a blue
|
||
cast. Grey text is a deliberate demotion, not a default.
|
||
3. **Type carries the design.** Big, tight display type over ornament. Negative tracking on
|
||
anything above 24px; zero tracking on body.
|
||
4. **Pills for actions, soft rectangles for containers.** A pill is clickable. A rounded
|
||
rectangle holds content. Never the reverse.
|
||
5. **Whitespace over borders.** Separate with space first, a hairline second, a shadow last.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 2. Colour
|
||
|
||
All values are sampled from wix.com. Hex is normative.
|
||
|
||
### 2.1 Brand — action blue
|
||
|
||
| Token | Hex | Use |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `brand-50` | `#EDF3FF` | Hover fill on ghost / outline controls |
|
||
| `brand-100` | `#DCE8FF` | Selected-chip fill, info banner background |
|
||
| `brand-200` | `#95B9FF` | Focus ring halo, disabled primary |
|
||
| `brand-400` | `#5E97FF` | **Dark-mode** link and accent text |
|
||
| `brand-500` | `#116DFF` | **Primary action.** Buttons, links, active states |
|
||
| `brand-600` | `#094BCC` | Primary hover / pressed |
|
||
| `brand-700` | `#082F7B` | Primary active on dark surfaces |
|
||
|
||
`brand-500` on white is **4.5:1** — it clears AA for normal text, but only just. Do not tint it
|
||
lighter for text. On dark surfaces use `brand-400` (7.0:1 on `ink-950`) instead.
|
||
|
||
### 2.2 Ink — text and surfaces
|
||
|
||
| Token | Hex | Use |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `ink-0` | `#FFFFFF` | Card surface, page background (light) |
|
||
| `ink-50` | `#F7F8F8` | Alternating section background |
|
||
| `ink-100` | `#F0F0F0` | Inset fills, skeletons, track backgrounds |
|
||
| `ink-200` | `#E2E2E2` | **Hairline borders** |
|
||
| `ink-300` | `#C2C2C2` | Border on dark, disabled border |
|
||
| `ink-400` | `#B0B0B0` | **Dark-mode** secondary text |
|
||
| `ink-500` | `#8F8F8F` | Placeholder and disabled text **only** (3.2:1 — never body copy) |
|
||
| `ink-600` | `#6E6E6E` | **Secondary body text** (5.1:1 on white) |
|
||
| `ink-800` | `#212121` | Body text on tinted surfaces |
|
||
| `ink-950` | `#000624` | **Headings, primary text, dark surfaces** |
|
||
|
||
### 2.3 Semantic
|
||
|
||
| Token | Hex | Meaning |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `go-50` | `#F3F8F0` | Success banner background |
|
||
| `go-100` | `#D2E4C7` | Success border |
|
||
| `go-400` | `#92B079` | Success on dark |
|
||
| `go-600` | `#618741` | **Success** — verified, accepted, right-swipe |
|
||
| `go-700` | `#39641D` | Success pressed |
|
||
| `sun-50` | `#FFE9DF` | Warning / pending banner background |
|
||
| `sun-100` | `#FFBFA1` | Warning border |
|
||
| `sun-400` | `#FA854F` | Warning on dark |
|
||
| `sun-500` | `#EA6020` | **Warning** — pending review, expiring soon |
|
||
| `sun-600` | `#C94001` | Warning pressed |
|
||
| `stop-50` | `#FFECEC` | Error banner background |
|
||
| `stop-100` | `#FFC9CB` | Error border |
|
||
| `stop-400` | `#FF6A70` | Error on dark |
|
||
| `stop-500` | `#ED1C24` | **Error / destructive** — rejected, left-swipe |
|
||
| `stop-600` | `#C4141B` | Error pressed |
|
||
|
||
Never use green/red as the *only* signal. Pair with an icon and a word.
|
||
|
||
### 2.4 Dark mode
|
||
|
||
Dark mode inverts the ink ramp and lightens the accent. It is not a separate palette.
|
||
|
||
| Role | Light | Dark |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Page background | `ink-0` | `ink-950` |
|
||
| Raised surface (card) | `ink-0` | `#0C1230` |
|
||
| Sunken surface | `ink-50` | `#070C22` |
|
||
| Primary text | `ink-950` | `ink-0` |
|
||
| Secondary text | `ink-600` | `ink-400` |
|
||
| Hairline | `ink-200` | `rgb(255 255 255 / .14)` |
|
||
| Accent text / link | `brand-500` | `brand-400` |
|
||
| Filled primary button | `brand-500` bg, white text | unchanged |
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 3. Typography
|
||
|
||
### 3.1 Families
|
||
|
||
| Role | Family | Weights |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Display — h1–h3, big numbers, buttons | **Wix Madefor Display** | 400–800 variable |
|
||
| Text — body, labels, inputs, meta | **Wix Madefor Text** | 400–800 variable |
|
||
|
||
Fallback stack: `'Segoe UI', system-ui, -apple-system, sans-serif`.
|
||
|
||
Load via `next/font/google` with `display: 'swap'`, exposed as CSS variables. Never link a
|
||
stylesheet in `<head>` — it costs a render-blocking round trip.
|
||
|
||
### 3.2 Scale
|
||
|
||
Display sizes use `clamp()` so one token works from 360px to desktop.
|
||
|
||
| Token | Size | Line | Tracking | Weight | Family |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| `display-xl` | `clamp(2.75rem, 6vw, 4.5rem)` | 1.04 | `-0.03em` | 700 | Display |
|
||
| `display-lg` | `clamp(2.25rem, 4.5vw, 3.25rem)` | 1.08 | `-0.025em` | 700 | Display |
|
||
| `h1` | `clamp(1.875rem, 3.5vw, 2.5rem)` | 1.12 | `-0.02em` | 700 | Display |
|
||
| `h2` | `clamp(1.5rem, 2.5vw, 2rem)` | 1.18 | `-0.02em` | 700 | Display |
|
||
| `h3` | `1.375rem` | 1.25 | `-0.015em` | 600 | Display |
|
||
| `h4` | `1.125rem` | 1.35 | `-0.01em` | 600 | Display |
|
||
| `body-lg` | `1.125rem` | 1.55 | `0` | 400 | Text |
|
||
| `body` | `1rem` | 1.6 | `0` | 400 | Text |
|
||
| `body-sm` | `0.875rem` | 1.5 | `0` | 400 | Text |
|
||
| `meta` | `0.75rem` | 1.45 | `0` | 500 | Text |
|
||
| `overline` | `0.75rem` | 1.4 | `0.08em` | 700 | Text, uppercase |
|
||
|
||
### 3.3 Rules
|
||
|
||
- **One display element per view.** A page has one `h1`. A card has none.
|
||
- Tracking is negative above 24px and exactly zero below it. Never positive except `overline`.
|
||
- Body copy maxes at **68 characters** (`max-w-[68ch]`).
|
||
- Headlines use `text-balance`; paragraphs use `text-pretty`.
|
||
- Prices, counters and table figures use `tabular-nums`.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 4. Space and layout
|
||
|
||
**Linkder is a mobile-only product.** There is no desktop layout, no marketing site and no
|
||
responsive breakpoint work. Design for a 360–430px viewport and nothing else. On a wider
|
||
screen the app renders as a single 480px column centred on `ink-50` — that is a courtesy for
|
||
someone who opened it on a laptop, not a layout to design for.
|
||
|
||
Concretely, this bans:
|
||
|
||
- Multi-column grids. Everything is one column. A 2-up grid is allowed only for paired
|
||
numeric fields (from/to, rate/years) and stat tiles.
|
||
- `md:` / `lg:` variants that change structure. Type already scales with `clamp()`.
|
||
- Sticky desktop nav bars with link lists, mega-footers, hero sections, feature grids.
|
||
|
||
An **8px grid**. The only legal spacing values are `4 8 12 16 24 32 40 56 72`. Anything else
|
||
is a bug.
|
||
|
||
| Token | Width | Used for |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `app` | 480px | Every screen. There is no second container. |
|
||
|
||
- Page gutter: **20px**. One value, all screens.
|
||
- Vertical rhythm between blocks within a screen: **32px**. Between major groups: **40px**.
|
||
- Gap between sibling cards in a list: **12px**.
|
||
- Label → control: **8px**. Control → helper text: **8px**. Field → field: **24px**.
|
||
- Bottom of scroll content clears the tab bar by **88px** (`pb-22`) so nothing hides under it.
|
||
|
||
### 4.1 Safe areas
|
||
|
||
The tab bar and any fixed footer pad with `env(safe-area-inset-bottom)`. The app bar pads with
|
||
`env(safe-area-inset-top)`. Never assume the viewport edge is reachable.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 5. Radius and elevation
|
||
|
||
| Token | Value | Applies to |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `radius-pill` | `999px` | **All buttons**, chips, avatars, badges |
|
||
| `radius-card` | `18px` | Cards, banners, modals |
|
||
| `radius-lg` | `12px` | Inputs, list rows, small containers |
|
||
| `radius-md` | `8px` | Tags, thumbnails, inline code |
|
||
| `radius-deck` | `28px` | The swipe card only |
|
||
|
||
Elevation is restrained. Four steps, no more:
|
||
|
||
| Token | Shadow | Use |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `shadow-none` | — | Default. Most surfaces are flat with a hairline. |
|
||
| `shadow-sm` | `0 1px 2px rgb(0 6 36 / .06), 0 1px 3px rgb(0 6 36 / .04)` | Hover on a list row |
|
||
| `shadow-md` | `0 4px 12px rgb(0 6 36 / .08), 0 2px 4px rgb(0 6 36 / .04)` | Sticky header, popovers |
|
||
| `shadow-lg` | `0 12px 32px rgb(0 6 36 / .12), 0 4px 8px rgb(0 6 36 / .06)` | Deck card, modal |
|
||
|
||
Shadows are tinted with `#000624`, never pure black.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 6. Components
|
||
|
||
### 6.1 Button
|
||
|
||
Always a pill. Always Display family, weight 600. Label is sentence case, never ALL CAPS.
|
||
|
||
| Variant | Fill | Text | Border | Hover |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| `primary` | `brand-500` | white | none | `brand-600` |
|
||
| `dark` | `ink-950` | white | none | `#1A2145` |
|
||
| `outline` | transparent | `ink-950` | `1.5px ink-950` | `ink-50` fill |
|
||
| `ghost` | transparent | `brand-500` | none | `brand-50` fill |
|
||
| `danger` | `stop-500` | white | none | `stop-600` |
|
||
|
||
| Size | Height | Padding-x | Font |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| `sm` | 36px | 16px | `body-sm` |
|
||
| `md` | 44px | 24px | `body` |
|
||
| `lg` | 56px | 32px | `body-lg` |
|
||
|
||
Control heights are their own scale — **36 / 44 / 56** for buttons, **48** for inputs. They are
|
||
exempt from the 8px spacing grid in §4, which governs margins, padding and gaps.
|
||
|
||
- Minimum touch target is **44px**. `sm` is desktop-only or must sit inside a 44px row.
|
||
- Disabled: `opacity: .45`, `cursor: not-allowed`. Never grey out by swapping colour.
|
||
- Busy: leading 16px spinner, label unchanged, control disabled. Never replace the label.
|
||
- Icon-only buttons are circles and require `aria-label`.
|
||
|
||
### 6.2 Input, textarea, select
|
||
|
||
- `radius-lg` (12px), `1.5px ink-200` border, `ink-0` fill, **16px** text (never smaller — iOS
|
||
zooms below 16px), padding `12px 16px`, height 48px.
|
||
- Focus: border `brand-500` + `0 0 0 3px brand-200`. Never remove the outline without
|
||
replacing it.
|
||
- Error: border `stop-500`, message below in `body-sm` `stop-500` with `role="alert"`.
|
||
- Placeholder is `ink-500` and never carries meaning the label doesn't.
|
||
- Every control has a visible `<label>`. Placeholder-as-label is forbidden.
|
||
|
||
### 6.3 Card
|
||
|
||
`ink-0` surface, `radius-card`, `1px ink-200` hairline, `shadow-none`. Padding 24px (20px below
|
||
640px). Interactive cards raise to `shadow-sm` and shift the border to `brand-500` on hover;
|
||
they do not lift or scale.
|
||
|
||
### 6.4 Chip / selectable tag
|
||
|
||
Pill, `1.5px` border, `12px 16px` padding, `body-sm`. Unselected: `ink-200` border on
|
||
transparent. Selected: `brand-500` border, `brand-100` fill, weight 600, leading check icon.
|
||
Selection must never rely on fill alone.
|
||
|
||
### 6.5 Banner / status card
|
||
|
||
`radius-card`, 20px padding, 12px icon-to-text gap, tinted surface + matching border:
|
||
|
||
| Tone | Fill | Border | Icon |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| `info` | `brand-100` | `brand-200` | `brand-500` |
|
||
| `success` | `go-50` | `go-100` | `go-600` |
|
||
| `warning` | `sun-50` | `sun-100` | `sun-500` |
|
||
| `error` | `stop-50` | `stop-100` | `stop-500` |
|
||
|
||
Title in `h4`, body in `body-sm` `ink-600`.
|
||
|
||
### 6.6 App bar
|
||
|
||
Fixed top, **56px** plus top safe-area inset. `page` surface at 88% opacity with
|
||
`backdrop-blur(12px)` and a hairline bottom border.
|
||
|
||
Two layouts only:
|
||
|
||
- **Root screens** — screen title left in `h4`, at most one icon action right.
|
||
- **Pushed screens** — 44px back chevron left, centred title in `h4`, optional icon action right.
|
||
|
||
No link lists. No CTA button in the bar — the primary action lives in the screen or the tab bar.
|
||
|
||
### 6.7 Tab bar
|
||
|
||
Fixed bottom, **56px** plus bottom safe-area inset, `page` surface, hairline top border. Two
|
||
to five destinations, each a 44px-minimum target with a 24px icon over a `meta` label. Active
|
||
tab is `brand-500` icon + label; inactive is `ink-600`. The active state carries both colour and
|
||
weight, never colour alone.
|
||
|
||
The tab bar is the app's only persistent navigation. There is no footer.
|
||
|
||
### 6.8 Deck card
|
||
|
||
The one place that breaks the flat rule. `radius-deck` (28px), `shadow-lg`, full-bleed photo,
|
||
bottom scrim `linear-gradient(to top, rgb(0 6 36 / .92), rgb(0 6 36 / .35) 45%, transparent)`.
|
||
Overlay stamps: `SEND JOB` in `go-600`, `PASS` in `stop-500`, 4px border, ±12° rotation. Action
|
||
buttons are 64px circles, 2px border, `ink-0` fill.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### 6.9 Search field
|
||
|
||
The §6.2 input, 48px, with a 20px `Search` glyph inset 16px from the left in `ink-500`, and a
|
||
44px circular clear button on the right that exists only while the field has content.
|
||
|
||
The label is **visible above the field**, never the placeholder — §6.2 applies here more than
|
||
anywhere, because a placeholder disappears at exactly the moment someone needs reminding what
|
||
the box searches. The placeholder carries examples of what to type, not the name of the field.
|
||
|
||
### 6.10 Result row
|
||
|
||
`radius-card`, `1px ink-200`, `raised` fill, 16px padding, **12px between rows**. A 56px
|
||
`radius-md` thumbnail leads; where there is no image, its initial on an `inset` fill — never an
|
||
empty grey square. Title in `h4`, one `body-sm ink-600` line, one `meta` line of figures in
|
||
`tabular-nums`, trailing chevron in `accent`.
|
||
|
||
Hover and press move the border to `brand-500`. Rows do not lift, scale or shadow: a list of
|
||
twenty is a scanning surface, and twenty things that react is noise.
|
||
|
||
A row is **not** a deck card. The deck card is a single-decision object with its own gesture;
|
||
reusing it in a list costs the list its scroll.
|
||
|
||
### 6.11 Skeletons
|
||
|
||
`inset` fill with `animate-pulse`, at the exact height and radius of whatever it stands in for.
|
||
Never more than one screenful — three rows is enough to say "loading"; twenty is a lie about
|
||
what is coming.
|
||
|
||
While REFRESHING existing content, keep the old content on screen instead. A list that blanks on
|
||
every keystroke reads as "no results", repeatedly.
|
||
|
||
### 6.12 Empty and no-result
|
||
|
||
Two different states, two different messages.
|
||
|
||
- **Empty** — nothing asked yet. Say what this screen can do and give a way in.
|
||
- **No result** — something asked, nothing found. Name what was searched and offer the single
|
||
most effective filter to relax. Never a bare "No results."
|
||
|
||
Both use `EmptyState` (§6.3): dashed hairline, centred, `h4` title, `body-sm ink-600` body.
|
||
|
||
### 6.13 Segmented control
|
||
|
||
Two or three mutually exclusive views of **the same list** — "Current / Past", not navigation.
|
||
Full width, `radius-pill`, `ink-100` track, 4px inset padding. The selected segment is an
|
||
`ink-0` pill on `shadow-sm` with `ink-950` text at weight 600; unselected is `ink-600` on the
|
||
bare track. Each segment is a 40px-high target inside a 44px row.
|
||
|
||
A segment may carry a count after its label in `tabular-nums`; a zero count is rendered, not
|
||
hidden, because "Past 0" is information and a missing number reads as a loading state.
|
||
|
||
Use it only where the segments are the same kind of thing and the user is switching lens. Where
|
||
the destinations differ in kind, that is the tab bar's job (§6.7), and where one option is a
|
||
filter on a list that has other filters too, use chips (§6.4). Never more than three segments —
|
||
at four, the labels truncate at 360px and it becomes a worse tab bar.
|
||
|
||
Implemented as a `radiogroup`: the selected segment carries `aria-checked`, and selection is
|
||
never signalled by fill alone (§8) — the weight change carries it too.
|
||
|
||
### 6.14 Bottom sheet
|
||
|
||
The only modal this product has. It rises from the bottom edge, because that is where the thumb
|
||
already is (§4) and a centred dialog on a 390px screen is just a card with the page greyed out.
|
||
|
||
`radius-card` on the **top two corners only**, `page` surface, `shadow-lg`, full width, capped
|
||
at 85% of the viewport height with its body scrolling inside. A 36×4px `ink-200` grab handle sits
|
||
centred at the top — the affordance that says this can be dismissed downward. Behind it, a
|
||
`rgb(0 6 36 / .45)` scrim.
|
||
|
||
Layout is title (`h3`), optional one-line body (`body-sm ink-600`), content, then actions pinned
|
||
at the bottom of the sheet: primary full-width, dismissal as a `ghost` beneath it. Actions never
|
||
scroll out of reach.
|
||
|
||
Dismissal is by scrim tap, Escape, or the grab handle — and **all three mean the same thing**.
|
||
A sheet whose scrim tap silently confirms is a trap. Anything destructive or irreversible gets an
|
||
explicit button; the sheet closing is always "no".
|
||
|
||
Enter and exit use `motion-slow` with the sheet translating and the scrim fading; under
|
||
`prefers-reduced-motion` both simply appear. `role="dialog"` with `aria-modal`, focus moves to the
|
||
sheet on open and returns to the trigger on close.
|
||
|
||
Use it for a decision that needs context the current screen cannot show — picking which job to
|
||
send a pro, confirming a cancellation. Not for navigation, and not for anything with more than one
|
||
input: a form belongs on a screen.
|
||
|
||
### 6.15 Pro profile
|
||
|
||
What a result row (§6.10) opens onto, and the only screen in the app whose job is *reading*
|
||
rather than deciding. It is a pushed screen (§6.6): 44px back chevron top-left labelled with
|
||
where it came from, never a bare arrow.
|
||
|
||
Order is fixed, because it is an argument and the parts only work in sequence: lead photo,
|
||
name in `h1`, headline, then one `meta tabular-nums` line of figures — rating, distance, rate,
|
||
years, jobs done. The verification line sits directly under it in `go-700` with a shield glyph;
|
||
it is the one claim this marketplace is actually selling, so it is never further down the page.
|
||
|
||
Then titled blocks, each skipped entirely when empty rather than rendered as a heading over
|
||
nothing: **Trades** and **Specialises in** as `Tag` pills (§6.4), **About**, **Their work** as a
|
||
horizontally scrolling strip, and **Reviews**.
|
||
|
||
Reviews are a page, not a history. The heading says so — "Showing the most recent of 47" —
|
||
because `ratingCount` in the header counts every rating and the list below it never will, and two
|
||
numbers that disagree without explanation read as a bug. Each review is a `radius-card` row: 36px
|
||
round avatar or initial, author name, five stars filled to the rating, relative date, then the
|
||
body. Stars carry their value in the accessible name (§8); an unrated pro gets the `New` pill and
|
||
never `0.0 ★`.
|
||
|
||
The primary action is pinned to the bottom of the screen, not placed after the reviews — a page
|
||
of reviews is exactly the length that buries a button (§9). It opens the send sheet (§6.14)
|
||
rather than acting directly, because "which job?" is a question this screen cannot answer.
|
||
|
||
### 6.16 Address field
|
||
|
||
An address is the only input in this product that must resolve to something real: distance is
|
||
what the deck ranks on, so a typed line that never became a coordinate is not an answer.
|
||
|
||
The §6.9 search field geometry, with a suggestion list below it and a **precision line** beneath
|
||
that. Suggestions are §6.10 result rows at 56px, no thumbnail, title plus one `meta` line, and
|
||
the list caps at five — a sixth is a scroll inside a form and nobody reads it.
|
||
|
||
The precision line is the component's whole reason for existing and is never optional:
|
||
|
||
| State | Line | Tone |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Resolved to a street address | "Matched to <address>" | `go-600` with a check |
|
||
| Resolved to a street/area only | "Approximate — we will match from <area>" | `sun-500` with an alert |
|
||
| Nothing resolved | "No address yet — matching from <city>" | `ink-600`, no icon |
|
||
|
||
Never show only a tick. "We found something" and "we found the right thing" are different
|
||
claims, and a field that renders them identically is how a placeholder gets stored as a
|
||
location.
|
||
|
||
A "use my current location" control sits below, and on success **must** fill the text with a
|
||
reverse-geocoded label — a button that silently sets an invisible pin gives the user nothing to
|
||
check.

## 7. Motion
|
||
|
||
| Token | Duration | Easing | Use |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| `motion-fast` | 120ms | `cubic-bezier(.4,0,.2,1)` | Hover, focus, colour |
|
||
| `motion-base` | 200ms | `cubic-bezier(.4,0,.2,1)` | Enter / exit, expand |
|
||
| `motion-slow` | 320ms | `cubic-bezier(.22,1,.36,1)` | Page and card transitions |
|
||
|
||
Transition `color`, `background-color`, `border-color`, `opacity`, `transform` — never `all`.
|
||
Non-essential animation is wrapped in `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference)`. The
|
||
deck's drag is essential and stays; its spring flattens under reduced motion.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## 8. Accessibility floor
|
||
|
||
- Body text ≥ 4.5:1, large text and UI borders ≥ 3:1. `ink-500` fails body text — placeholder only.
|
||
- Visible focus on every interactive element: `0 0 0 3px brand-200` plus a `brand-500` border.
|
||
- Touch targets ≥ 44×44px.
|
||
- Colour is never the sole carrier of meaning.
|
||
- One `h1` per page, headings in order, no level skipped for size.
|
||
- Decorative images `alt=""`; icons inside labelled controls `aria-hidden`.

## 9. Do / Don't
|
||
|
||
| Don't | Do |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Square-cornered buttons | `radius-pill`, always |
|
||
| `brand-500` as a section background | White or `ink-50`; blue for the CTA inside it |
|
||
| Grey `#8F8F8F` body copy | `ink-600` for secondary text |
|
||
| Positive letter-spacing on headings | `-0.02em` and tighter |
|
||
| Three shadows on one screen | One raised element per view |
|
||
| `transition: all` | Name the properties |
|
||
| Placeholder standing in for a label | Visible `<label>` every time |
|
||
| Arbitrary values like `py-[13px]` | The 8px scale |
|
||
| A second accent colour | Blue is the only accent |
|
||
| Multi-column grids, `md:` structure changes | One column, always |
|
||
| A marketing hero or feature grid | This is an app, not a website |
|
||
| A footer | The tab bar is the only persistent nav |
|
||
| An action out of thumb reach | Primary actions sit low, near the tab bar |
|
||

## 10. Where this lives in code
|
||
|
||
| Concern | File |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Token definitions (`@theme`), base layer, dark mode | `apps/web/src/styles/globals.css` |
|
||
| Font loading, chrome wiring | `apps/web/src/app/layout.tsx` |
|
||
| Button, Input, Card, Chip, Banner, Field primitives | `apps/web/src/components/ui/` |
|
||
| App bar and tab bar | `apps/web/src/components/chrome/` |
|
||
|
||
Screens compose primitives. A screen that writes its own `rounded-xl bg-[#...]` has bypassed the
|
||
system — fix the primitive instead.
