hosman20 gives Mike a paper-and-ink makeover
Phase one of turning the Mike prototype into a polished commercial product starts where users actually look - the interface.
Before touching features, hosman20 laid down a full design system: a warm-paper background, near-black "ink" accents, and thin hairline borders instead of heavy boxes and drop shadows. The core building blocks every screen relies on - buttons, text fields, status badges, menus - were rebuilt against that system, with the primary button reshaped into a rounded "ink pill."
It's a disciplined pass rather than a quick reskin. The team audited every page first, kept the old serif typeface that powers the statute-and-regulation document viewer so legal reading stays intact, and shipped a handful of automated checks so the new components don't quietly break later. The result is a consistent, deliberately understated look - the kind of restraint that reads as professional to a legal buyer.
