What engineers like:
Deploy as a static Go binary, including the feed background updater. Also available through OS packages and a Docker image. Storage backed by Postgres. Minimalist, customizable UI for focused reading of RSS, Atom, JSON feeds. Plays videos and podcasts. Full text search. REST API with Go and Python clients.
Trade-offs & limitations:
Support for handling email newsletters would be great. Perhaps it could make Postgres optional by using SQLite instead?
Best suited for:
Developers who want a self-hosted feed reader with a customizable UI

# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome

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

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #ffffff;
  --surface: #f7f7f7;
  --foreground: #111111;
  --muted-foreground: #6b7280;
  --accent: #1d4ed8;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFFFFF (~62%) · Surface #F7F7F7 (~18%) · Text #111111 (~10%) · Muted Text #6B7280 (~6%) · Accent #1D4ED8 (~4%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Headline Over Large Product Shot
- Navigation: Minimal Logo + Action
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- 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: Headline Over Large Product Shot hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring headline over large product shot 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.
