- We’ve been working on a new version of Freenet for the last couple of years.

The alpha has been running since shortly before Christmas and has been gradually stabilized over the last few wee

# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome
Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #f4f6f8;
--surface: #ffffff;
--foreground: #1c2430;
--muted-foreground: #5c6773;
--accent: #1a73e8;
--radius: 16px;
--font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #F4F6F8 (~42%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~32%) · Text #1C2430 (~12%) · Muted Text #5C6773 (~8%) · Accent #1A73E8 (~6%). 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: Large Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and product ui screenshot / component 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.
