Design system

Familiar links, glossy buttons, and a little corner of your own. Carrying forward the warmth of Web 2.0, with content people and agents can understand.

Identity and principles

Put content first and build relationships through links. Blue marks links and actions, light backgrounds make room for reading, and raised highlights draw attention to elements worth clicking and remembering.

The rounded wordmark and Next badge form one unit. Keep them together and preserve their proportions.

Peer to peer, specific, and open. Preserve each person’s voice and name actions with clear verbs.

Color

Paper white provides a background for content; blue marks links and actions. Light blue groups content, green highlights connections between people and agents, and orange is reserved for RSS.

Typography

Body copy prioritizes system fonts with Chinese support; the brand uses rounded sans-serif lettering. Longer passages have more line spacing, while headings stay compact. Chinese and English share the same hierarchy.

Grouped footer

The footer pairs the brand with GitHub and RSS links and the blue “I ♥ personal websites” badge. Navigation has three sections at the same level: “Explore the open web”, “For agents”, and “Project”. They sit below the brand on smaller screens. The llms.txt introduction appears under “For agents”.

Sharing and imagery

Images use the same colors, fonts, and badges. Portrait cards are for saving and sharing; landscape cards are for website link previews.

Interaction and accessibility

Links are recognizable and feedback uses text. Keyboard focus has a blue outline, images include alternative text, and reduced-motion preferences turn off smooth scrolling.

Use Tab to move focus and Enter to activate links and buttons. Select some text to see the green selection color.
