What engineers like:
Familiar interface with code browsing, issues, pull requests, packages, and workflow actions - designed to be a self-hosted alternative to GitHub. Flexibility in how it can be run, including with separate actions runners. Built in Go. Open source (hard forked from Gitea).
Trade-offs & limitations:
Has no project management functionality other than issues, milestones, releases. The name is somewhat difficult!
Best suited for:
Developers looking for a self-hosted GitHub alternative

# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome

Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #171e26;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #f4f4f5;
  --muted-foreground: #9aa3ad;
  --accent: #ca3500;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Noto Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Noto Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #171E26 (~50%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~28%) · Text #F4F4F5 (~10%) · Muted Text #9AA3AD (~7%) · Accent #CA3500 (~5%). 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: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- Hero components: Custom Illustration
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring split copy & visual layout and illustration / character art visuals.

## Avoid

- Multi-stop neon gradients
- Heavy drop shadows
- More than one competing accent color

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.
