A cleaner home for the default.drwnut.uk side of things.
This page follows the updated local app design system: reusable layout primitives, big rounded white cards, green-led actions, clear states, and practical templates for dashboards, CRUD pages, and auth flows.
Start pages with `max-w-7xl mx-auto px-6 py-8 lg:px-8` so everything feels aligned and deliberate.
Use `space-y-*` for rhythm and `flex flex-wrap items-center gap-3` for controls, chips, and grouped actions.
Default multi-card layouts should lean on `grid gap-6 md:grid-cols-2 xl:grid-cols-3` rather than ad-hoc spacing.
The revised design system now defines clearer starting points for common page types.
Hero/top bar, stat cards, chart or table area, and an activity list.
Top bar, filters, list or table, plus a quick-action side panel.
Centered card, clear branding, low noise, and one obvious primary action.
A few of the most important engineering rules to keep front-of-mind while building pages in this system.
Controllers should receive the request, call the right service, and return the response, not become a swamp of business logic and SQL.
Important app behaviour belongs in services or domain classes so the rules stay testable and reusable.
Never trust request data. Validate early, normalise where needed, and fail clearly instead of hoping the form behaved itself.
Match the current architecture, naming, and UI conventions before inventing anything new or parallel.
