Apollo was an iOS app for browsing Reddit from 2015 to 2023. In 2023 Reddit announced significant price changes to their API, going from free to potentially costing tens of millions of dollars per year, with 30 days notice before developers would start incurring charges. As a result, Apollo was forced to shut down after the better part of a decade building for an incredible, supportive community. With over 100,000 five star ratings, and many accolades, I was incredibly proud of what Apollo accomplished. The app now exists in a commemorative/historic state, with a thank you message, the option to unlock a Goodbye Apollo wallpaper pack, and options to export data if you had the app downloaded previously (shake the device), and all previous app icons are now automatically unlocked. You can also use the app as a hub to get updates about other things the developer (Christian Selig) is working on. Again, thank you so much for all the years of fun, it was the honor of a lifetime building the app for all of you!

# Design Brief: Editorial (with Minimal Monochrome)

Oversized serif headlines, narrow reading columns, and magazine-inspired grid layouts.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #ffffff;
  --surface: #f3f3f3;
  --foreground: #000000;
  --muted-foreground: #3d3d3d;
  --accent: #5b54f4;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Segoe UI Symbol", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Segoe UI Symbol", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFFFFF (~74%) · Surface #F3F3F3 (~15%) · Text #000000 (~6%) · Muted Text #3D3D3D (~4%) · Accent #5B54F4 (~1%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Editorial Serif Headline
- Navigation: Minimal Logo + Action
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Custom Illustration
- Spatial layout notes: Editorial Serif Headline hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and live generated output showcase.
- Visual summary: Editorial (Light canvas, airy density) featuring editorial serif headline layout and illustration / character art visuals.

## Avoid

- Generic SaaS hero templates
- Cramped multi-column feature grids
- Neon cyber accents

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.
