Overall UX Goals & Principles

  • Target User Personas: Primary User: A developer and Hacker News enthusiast who wants a quick, daily overview of top HN posts.

    • The main need is to save time and efficiently consume HN content.

  • Usability Goals: Efficiency:

    • The UI should allow for quick scanning of daily summaries.
    • Access to full articles and podcast versions should be straightforward.

  • Design Principles:

    • Minimalism: Clean layout with only essential information to avoid clutter.
    • Clarity: Easy-to-read typography and clear visual hierarchy.
    • Speed: Fast loading times and quick access to content.
    • Synthwave Aesthetic: Incorporate the visual theme through color accents and typography.

Information Architecture (IA)

  • Site Map / Screen Inventory:

  • Navigation Structure:
    • Primary Navigation: A simple link from the "Newsletter List" page to the "Newsletter Detail" page for a selected newsletter.

Branding & Style Guide Reference

  • Color Palette: Use Tailwind's default color palette, with #800080 (purple) as a custom accent color if needed.
  • Typography: Use Tailwind's default font family (sans-serif) and semantic classes for headings (e.g., text-2xl font-bold) and body text (e.g., text-base).
  • Iconography: Use a minimalist icon set (e.g., Font Awesome), styled with Tailwind classes.
  • Spacing & Grid: Use Tailwind's utility classes for spacing (e.g., p-4, m-2) and grid layout (e.g., grid, grid-cols-2).

Accessibility (AX) Requirements

  • Target Compliance: WCAG 2.1 Level A
  • Specific Requirements:
    • Keyboard Navigation: Ensure all interactive elements (links, buttons) are focusable and operable using the keyboard.
    • Semantic HTML: Use appropriate HTML5 elements for structure and meaning (e.g., <nav>, <article>, <button>).
    • Alternative Text: Provide descriptive alternative text for images (if any are used).
    • Color Contrast: Ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background elements.

Responsiveness

  • Breakpoints: Use Tailwind's default breakpoints: sm, md, lg, xl.
  • Adaptation Strategy: Use Tailwind's responsive prefixes (sm:, md:, lg:, xl:) to apply styles conditionally at different breakpoints.
    • For example:
      • text-base md:text-lg (base font size on small screens, larger on medium screens and up).
      • grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 (single-column grid on small screens, two-column grid on medium screens and up).
