Third-party reviews & case dossiers
Acquisition breakdowns, engineer reviews & open-source metrics- What engineers like:
- Predicts your retention curve before you publish, not after Flags the exact moments where viewers are likely to drop off Copy-paste rewrites for weak hooks and slow pacing Title rewrite suggestions based on the same script Works from a pasted script or an uploaded video (auto-transcribed) PDF export and saved history so you can track scripts over time
- Best suited for:
- Fix weak YouTube hooks before recording: Paste your script and get a breakdown of the first 30 seconds, including where the hook may lose attention and alternative openings you can test. Predict viewer drop-off before publishing: See a forecasted retention curve before the video goes live, so you can identify slow sections, unclear explanations, and moments where viewers are likely to leave. Rewrite weak parts of a script: Get copy-paste rewrites for specific problem areas such as hooks, transitions, long explanations, and calls-to-action. Audit video scripts for clients: Editors, scriptwriters, and channel managers can generate structured script reports and export them as PDFs to share with creators or clients. Analyze what works on a YouTube channel: Use the free Channel Scan tool to compare a channel’s best and worst performing videos, spot repeatable patterns, and find content ideas with stronger retention potential. Improve titles before publishing: Get title feedback when a video idea or script is strong but the current title does not communicate enough value or curiosity.

# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome
Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #0a0a0b;
--surface: #18171b;
--foreground: #f3f2ef;
--muted-foreground: #a1a0a5;
--accent: #f13f43;
--radius: 4px;
--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 #0A0A0B (~66%) · Surface #18171B (~22%) · Text #F3F2EF (~4%) · Muted Text #A1A0A5 (~5%) · Accent #F13F43 (~3%). 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: Dark · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Photography / Live Video
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Hero components: Interactive Hero Tool, Video Demo
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and photography / live video 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.
