Public website
The consumer homepage at sparethought.dev and the separate engineering docs. The website's own effects do not change the app's e-ink motion rules.
Engineering docs
- Engineering documentation lives at docs.sparethought.dev, built with Antora: accessible search, section navigation and static Mermaid renders.
- Its chrome uses the shared forest and ink palette.
- No example product menus and no source-edit controls from the default UI.
- Published pages never expose checkout paths or describe how they were developed.
- The docs site does not change the homepage's content rules below.
Homepage content
- An app showcase for every visitor, including people who signed in before.
- Position SpareThought as a daily business companion: daily notes and meeting notes, ToDos from either or on their own, and sync across devices so ideas are not lost.
- Downloads go to Google Play. Explain that account creation and trial activation happen in the Android app.
- Payments and subscription management use Google Play.
- No website sign-in, account dashboard, checkout, source-code links or developer installation instructions.
- Shared settings are pen presets, toolbar layout, default paper and task preferences.
- Page selection and viewport stay on each device. Never promise automatic cross-device calendar-event association.
- Keep the one-month trial eligibility and payment copy consistent with the subscription terms.
- The Google Play URL in
MarketingPage.svelteis a placeholder; replace it before launch.
Look
- Paper-coloured surfaces, green accents and serif headlines.
- Navigation and calls to action adapt to narrow screens.
App illustrations
- Follow the current native layouts, white app surfaces and shared forest accents.
- Scenes: the BOOX calendar with day sidebar, the journal editing toolbar, and the phone agenda and ToDos with bottom navigation.
- The calendar scene uses the 3 days view with a busy business schedule, for readability. The app itself still opens on Month.
- Include the journal and recurring-meeting date pills, calendar colour rails with faint fills, agenda and ToDo metadata cards, and timed deadlines.
- Schedule timestamps stay dark; preview surfaces stay white.
- Use fictional business content and label the illustrations.
- Never invent app chrome or a ToDo drawer.
Device preview motion
- The BOOX preview keeps a slight tilt.
- Scenes crossfade with a small vertical movement.
- Scenes cycle every 6 seconds, with a pause/play control. Choosing a scene pauses the cycle.
- The preview area keeps its size across scenes.
- Cycling stops in background tabs.
- With reduced motion, there is no cycling and no transition.
