The demo is the point
A demo site is not a startup, a blog engine, or a funnel. It is a controlled environment to show structure, taste, and restraint.
Most demos fail because they try too hard to look like real products.
This one does not. It is deliberately limited: no auth, no CMS, no SEO circus, no growth nonsense.
The goal is decision-making: layout rhythm, typography, navigation clarity, and safe micro-interactions.
A demo is a lab. If you add everything, you cannot tell what actually works.
A small set of pages is enough: Home, Articles, a reader, and two supporting pages that prove the layout holds up.
Reading is the real test. A readable article exposes weak hierarchy immediately.
Interactivity here is non-destructive. Hover and focus help the user. Skeleton loading makes transitions feel intentional.
If your UI can carry calm reading, it will survive everything else you build later.
So yes, the demo is the point. Not the feature list.
Now stop adding effects and ship something readable.
