04. Design Principles

Generous Spacing

Use p-8 to p-12 for containers. Avoid crowding elements; let the layout breathe.

Soft Corners

Main cards use rounded-3xl. Interactive elements like buttons and inputs use rounded-xl.

Browser First

Prioritize client-side logic. Keep everything in a single HTML file for instant portability.
