Ilia Mashkov 8eee815e9a refactor(styles): improve light-mode contrast across surfaces and muted text
Dark mode unchanged. Targets that were reported as "barely visible" in
light theme:

Surfaces / dividers
- --color-border-subtle (light) bumped from rgb(0 0 0 / 0.05) to
  --neutral-300 (matches the Input underline variant's border color and
  yields a visible hairline on bg-surface / bg-paper).
- New bg-subtle utility (same color as border-subtle but as
  background-color) — used by Divider component and the TypographyMenu
  inline column separator. Replaces ad-hoc 'bg-black/5 dark:bg-white/10'
  and 'bg-black/10 dark:bg-white/10' bands.
- FontSearch + ComparisonView Search wrapper borders switched from
  hand-written 'border-swiss-black/5 dark:border-white/10' to
  border-subtle so they participate in the palette.

Muted text
- Button tertiary inactive text (light) bumped neutral-400 → neutral-600
  (~2.7:1 → ~7.5:1 contrast). Covers the A/B toggle and the font-list
  rows in the sidebar.
- Label/TechText muted variant (light) bumped neutral-400 → neutral-600.
  Covers the ComboControl value text.
- Link text aligned to neutral-500 / neutral-400 (subtle but visible).

No behavior changes; pure styling.

A modern font exploration and comparison tool for browsing fonts from Google Fonts and Fontshare with real-time visual comparisons, advanced filtering, and customizable typography.

Features

  • Multi-Provider Catalog: Browse fonts from Google Fonts and Fontshare in one place
  • Side-by-Side Comparison: Compare up to 4 fonts simultaneously with customizable text, size, and typography settings
  • Advanced Filtering: Filter by category, provider, character subsets, and weight
  • Virtual Scrolling: Fast, smooth browsing of thousands of fonts
  • Responsive UI: Beautiful interface built with Tailwind CSS
  • Type-Safe: Full TypeScript coverage with strict mode enabled

Tech Stack

  • Framework: Svelte 5 with reactive primitives (runes)
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS v4
  • Components: Bits UI primitives
  • State Management: TanStack Query for async data
  • Architecture: Feature-Sliced Design (FSD)
  • Quality: oxlint (linting), dprint (formatting), lefthook (git hooks)

Code Style

  • Path Aliases: Use $app/, $shared/, $features/, $entities/, $widgets/, $routes/
  • Components: PascalCase (e.g., ComparisonSlider.svelte)
  • Formatting: 100 char line width, 4-space indent, single quotes
  • Type Safety: Strict TypeScript with JSDoc comments for public APIs

Architecture Notes

This project follows the Feature-Sliced Design (FSD) methodology for clean separation of concerns. The application uses Svelte 5's new runes system ($state, $derived, $effect) for reactive state management.
