  • Motion 14.7 introduces transition.outProduct Activity

    Motion announced version 14.7, which adds a transition.out prop so a motion component can define a transition specifically for when it leaves a state. The post says this addresses a long-standing API gap, for instance so a mount delay does not affect later hover transitions.

# Design Brief: Dark Developer (with Minimal Monochrome)

Deep dark surfaces, monospace typography, terminal/code snippets, and high-precision borders.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #080808;
  --surface: #141414;
  --foreground: #eaeae5;
  --muted-foreground: #92928f;
  --accent: #ffda00;
  --radius: 0px;
  --font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "IBM Plex Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #080808 (~90%) · Surface #141414 (~2%) · Text #EAEAE5 (~3%) · Muted Text #92928F (~3%) · Accent #FFDA00 (~2%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Full-Bleed Canvas / Video / 3D
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Sharp; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: 3D Render / Tactile Object
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Code & Terminal
- Spatial layout notes: Full-Bleed Canvas / Video / 3D hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Dark Developer (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring full-bleed canvas / video / 3d layout and 3d render / tactile object visuals.

## Avoid

- Warm pastel backgrounds
- Playful cartoon illustrations
- Oversized pill buttons everywhere

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.
