Capture better sunrises and sunsets, not just the times, but the quality. Whether you’re planning a shoot or just don’t want to miss a great sky, Alpenglow tells you when it’s actually worth going outside.

Forecasts are updated multiple times a day using global weather data, and improve over time with real-world input. Help improve the forecasts After a sunrise or sunset, you can submit a quick field report. These reports directly help improve future predictions for everyone. Like any weather forecast, conditions can change, especially further out, so forecasts are updated frequently to stay as accurate as possible.

# Design Brief: Soft & Friendly (with Gradient Glow)

Warm low-saturation pastels, generous rounded corners, and approachable illustrations.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #efeef5;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #ffffff;
  --muted-foreground: #ead9e1;
  --accent: #f01858;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Outfit", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Outfit", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #EFEEF5 (~56%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~8%) · Text #FFFFFF (~16%) · Muted Text #EAD9E1 (~12%) · Accent #F01858 (~8%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Outcome & Speed Promise
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.
- Visual summary: Soft & Friendly (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Harsh pure-black backgrounds
- Sharp 0px corners
- Cold technical jargon in hero copy

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
