Post excerpt:
As you can see on my "The low-tech guys" [0] website, I create and maintain a bit too many apps as a single person. I never had and never will have the time to localize all the apps and maintain every 30+ languages people ask for and every text that changes between versions for 10+ apps. AI translations exist nowadays, but they are very often low quality if

# Design Brief: Soft & Friendly (with Retro & Nostalgic)

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

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #ebc18a;
  --surface: #f7e2c1;
  --foreground: #241d1b;
  --muted-foreground: #806c5c;
  --accent: #f3ebdd;
  --radius: 16px;
  --font-heading: "Arial", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Arial", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #EBC18A (~77%) · Surface #F7E2C1 (~10%) · Text #241D1B (~7%) · Muted Text #806C5C (~4%) · Accent #F3EBDD (~2%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Large Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- Hero components: Custom Illustration
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Soft & Friendly (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and illustration / character art 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.
