We’ve completely refreshed the app with a brand new look, updated fonts, and a total overhaul of our theme, event, and friend colours. It’s cleaner, sleeker, and looking better than ever. And because we know you love to keep your life in sync, we’ve got another massive update for you: you can now directly sync your Google Calendar to Howbout! No more switching back and forth between apps to see when you’re actually free.

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

Luminous radial glows and translucent glass panels, widely used across modern AI products.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #0c0c0c;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #ffffff;
  --muted-foreground: #c8c8c8;
  --accent: #ff6a3d;
  --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 #0C0C0C (~58%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~16%) · Text #FFFFFF (~12%) · Muted Text #C8C8C8 (~6%) · Accent #FF6A3D (~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: Minimal Logo + Action
- Theme & density: Dark · Airy
- 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: Pain Relief & Replacement
- 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: Gradient Glow (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring split copy & visual layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Muddy low-contrast text over gradients
- Overuse of full-screen rainbow backgrounds
- Cluttered dense tables in the hero

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.
