Primary text — muted text — subtle text — accent text

Subtle is the dimmest tone allowed for body copy. The mockups used slate-500 here (3.75:1 on the page color); this is the one systematic color change, lifted to clear 4.5:1.

Hue channel

The mockups color-code every feature. A hue class supplies three steps; one rule set derives the chip fill, border, icon color and glow — in both themes.

Button

State machine — idle, loading, success and error share one grid cell, so the width never changes:

Field & form

A real form: native validation, reserved space for messages, 16px inputs so iOS never zooms, and a submit button that morphs through loading to success without changing size.

How they'll appear to other members.

We'll send the invitation here.

A REMOTE search: the trailing slot holds a spinner while it settles, then the button that empties it.

Title picker

Find something on this server, and say which episode. The search is THE search field as a real combobox over server-rendered rows; the strip under it is what the choice unlocks, with the artwork cloned out of the row that was chosen. Report an Issue and Scene Finder are its two callers. Three titles here, and no watch-history shelf — the real thing carries the whole catalog and the shelf, which has its own specimen above.

Type a letter or two — try “s”.

Filters

One button for a screen's filters, with every row the component has: a single-choice group, a multiple-choice group with counts and Select all / Clear, a group you can search, an on/off, and an action. Rows open beside the panel here and drill in inside the bottom sheet on a phone; the count is how many are off their default.

Card

Glass

Default card

The standard content surface, in the mockups' glass material.

Hover me

Interactive card

Brightens with an accent border on fine pointers. The whole card is one link target, and keyboard focus rings the card.

Variant

Accent edge

A cheap, legible way to mark a category.

A section's own heading row

See everything

The heading sits above the content with an optional trailing action. Ten page layers had written this row's four declarations under their own names before .sc-section-head was offered on its own; the gap is a component token, because those ten wanted 8, 12 and 16px and each was right.

Page title

The heading at the top of this page is the macro. Every page's <h1> comes from it, with the name's last word in the accent and everything before it in the page's own text colour — Watch Parties, AI Trivia, Now Playing; a one-word name has no "before", so all of Polls takes the accent.

It is a macro and not a convention because a convention drifts: before it there were two accent treatments for display text and half the pages used a tagline instead of their name. It drifted again in size and in shadow, so there is now one treatment and no option to leave it (owner, 2026-09-23) — the hero size and the glow are both gone, the glow back to the dashboard wordmark it came from. What a hero header still does is centre its column, and that belongs to .sc-page-header--hero, not to the title. The one option left is bar, for the small title in a theater layout. There is no second specimen here on purpose: a page has one <h1>, and rendering two would break the contract this page is meant to demonstrate.

Tabs

A real tablist over one panel: aria-selected is the state, the roving tabindex is in the server-rendered HTML so the keyboard contract holds without JavaScript, and Left and Right walk the row. The chosen state also reads aria-pressed, so a row of filter toggles that owns no panel is the same control.

A film row — in All and in Film.

A television row — in All and in TV.

Seven days.

Thirty days.

rail stands the same tablist on its end down a panel's side (a club's hub): each tab is a RAIL ITEM — the Settings rail's row — with an icon, it says aria-orientation="vertical", and Up and Down walk it too. On a phone it is a row again.

What the club is about.

Its conversation.

Who is in it.

Beta

The badge is the dashboard's System Ready pill and the arena bar's live player count. It does not go above a page title any more: every page header is the title and its lede.

Added Docs The quality variant is on the posters below: it is a translucent scrim plus amber, legible over a picture and nowhere else. Rated 7.3 out of 10 Rated 8.9 out of 10 4.5

Lettermarks in each brand's colour, not the real logos: nothing may be fetched cross-origin at runtime and the marks are trademarked (decision 22).

Table

A real <table> at every width — a phone scrolls it inside its own box rather than turning rows into cards, so the header association survives (plan §2.5). A cell's tone only ever agrees with words that already say the same thing.

The grid variant is for stored values (the Database page): a column's type under its name, the key marked, NULL said in words and drawn unlike any value, a secret never printed, one line to a cell.

Runtime

The radio is the target, stretched over the chip by .sc-cover-input — never display: none, which takes it out of the accessibility tree and the tab order together.

Poster

ONE poster for every grid in the product (decision 19), with the approved hover measured in a browser: the frame lifts over 500ms while the artwork drifts over 700ms, so the picture moves inside its own edges.

What counts as a session?Insights

Anything played for longer than a minute. Trailers and previews never count.

Why is my library smaller than the server's?

Library access is a per-member setting, not a role permission.

The plain variant, for a run of questions

No panel of its own — adjacent plain disclosures share one hairline, which is what makes an FAQ read as one list.

Prose blocks

The guide pages render TYPED BLOCKS, never markup, so copy can never carry a class or a colour with it (plan §2.6).

Watches everything twice

Avery Quinn

The file input keeps its box and its focus; what is hidden is its paint.

Reading your history…

Looking at what you finished

Toasts

Notices that slide in under the island, top-trailing, the way macOS banners do. Three on screen and the rest wait their turn; an error, a job or an undo goes to the front; point at one and its clock stops; on a phone, flick it up or off the edge. The stack itself is in the layout of every page, so these only ask it for one — and a notification obeys Settings › Notifications, where a toast for "New message" can become a pulse on the bell, or nothing but the count.

What an action or an undo did is written here.

Share and copy

The share sheet is the one shared menu, led by what is about to be shared and holding only the rows this browser can honour — the platform's own sheet where there is one, then the clipboard. The payload rides on the button, so a page needs no script of its own. A copy lands where you pressed: the button morphs to "Copied" and the live region says which value; only when the control is gone (the sheet has closed) does the outcome arrive as a toast.

Calling cards

A 112 × 32 emblem that goes wherever a member's name goes — the signed-in member's is in the header of this page, left of the island. A card is a key on the member's row, never a blob of markup: the plate below is the same macro the header calls, and a key nobody knows falls through to the plain plate.

No Card

none

A plain plate that follows the theme.

Captain America

cap

The shield is thrown onto the plate, and slides on when you point at it.

Iron Man

iron

A triangular arc reactor spins up and fires a repulsor charge through faceted armor.

Loki

loki

Gold horns rise over the edge; the Tesseract turns beside the name.

Doctor Strange

A mandala turning backwards, and the Time Stone keeping time.

Thanos

Six stones drift across the plate on staggered delays.

A violet spark circles a black well around the name.
