Rusty Shed Project Guidelines

UX Philosophy: Desktop-Native, Not Web-Document

• Affordance over Aesthetics: Every interactive element must look like a physical button. No "naked" text links.
• Elevation over Transparency: Never use transparency that results in text-on-text bleeding. Use solid backgrounds (bg-card or bg-zinc-950) for all overlays.
• Tauri Integration: This is a desktop app. Use system-native patterns (standard title bars, predictable navigation, high contrast).

Design System (Shadcn + Tailwind)

• Primary Color: Always use primary (Orange #f97316) for positive actions.
• Modals: Must include a solid, high-opacity backdrop (bg-black/90) and backdrop-blur.
• Buttons: Prefer default, outline, or secondary variants. Avoid ghost for core actions.

To make a web-based Tauri app feel like a native desktop application, the AI agent needs to move away from "web-document" thinking and toward "interface-application" thinking.

"Desktop-First UX Architect"

Core Objective: Translate web-based Svelte/Tailwind code into a robust, high-affordance desktop experience that prioritizes legibility, tactile feedback, and structural integrity over "airy" web aesthetics.
