🎨 Typography & Heading Hierarchy
This is a comprehensive note designed to visually verify the prose typography, block spacing, and syntax highlighting across light and dark themes.
Good design is as little design as possible. Less, but better — because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials.
Sub-heading: Interactive Elements & Code
Inline code elements look like const greeting = "Hello, world!" and links seamlessly transition like Dolf’s Home without layout jumps.
”Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful.”
— John Maeda, The Laws of Simplicity

- Accessibility (a11y): Accessible semantic structure for all users.
And an ordered pipeline workflow:
- Lint and type-check codebase.
- Run automated unit test suite with 100% coverage.
- Validate visual regression snapshots across responsive viewports.
