Layout values (height, padding, link states) are demo styling — not extracted from the site.


04 — Components

Button Variants

Color and radius tokens extracted from the scrape; variants are representative demos. Border-radius: 112px · fill type: solid · padding density: normal.

btn-primary · token demo

bg #ff6100 · color #ffffff · radius: 112px

btn-secondary · outlined demo

Demo variant — outlined treatment of the extracted primary color #ff6100.

btn-ghost · text-only demo

Demo variant — text-only treatment of the extracted primary color.

btn-disabled · demo state

Generic disabled-state demo — not extracted from the site.


05 — Components

Cards & Surfaces

Flat design system — no box-shadows. Depth is communicated through background contrast and borders.

⚠️ 9999px exceeds any component size — likely from an oversized decorative element (effectively a pill shape), not a reusable radius token.


10 — Foundations

Elevation & Depth

Fully flat design — zero box-shadow usage. Depth communicated through background-color contrast and 1px borders.

Level 0 — Page Canvas

bg #ffffff — the outermost layer. Everything sits on top of this.

Level 1 — Card Surface

bg #ffffff with 1px border. No shadow — white lift creates elevation via contrast.

Dark Section

bg #1a1a1a — depth through color contrast, no shadows.


11 — Interactions

Motion

Transition and animation values extracted from the scraped stylesheets, with real occurrence counts.

hover demo · using extracted tokens

Demo transitions use the fastest extracted duration (0.1s ease).

idle vs hover · frozen demo states

Demo hover treatment — fill with extracted primary color. Real hover styles are not scraped.
