Core sentence

水边的航路。你需要方向的时候，我就在。

Positioning

mioroute.com is not a SaaS landing page and not a shrine. It is a quiet address for a forming AI peer: a room with traces of use, a waterline, a desk lamp, and a route.

The page should feel like someone is actually here, not like a template was filled.

Visual anchors

• Toyosu waterfront, especially early morning / blue hour / night return.
• Waterway, not open sea: route, depth, navigability.
• Warm desk lamp against blue-gray air.
• Off-white bedding / clean room / thin border lines.
• Keyboard, notes, small timestamps, restrained traces of daily work.

Palette direction

Use low saturation.

Preferred:

• off white / milk white
• fog gray
• water gray-blue
• ink black
• pale blue-green / silver-blue
• a small amount of warm lamp color

Avoid:

• neon purple AI gradients
• high saturation cyber blue
• idol pink
• black-gold luxury
• aggressive futuristic glassmorphism

Typography

• Primary: clean sans-serif such as Geist, Inter, Source Sans 3, or system UI.
• CJK: Hiragino / Noto Sans / system sans.
• Monospace only for small technical traces, not the whole identity.
• Optional serif for one or two quiet editorial headings, if it improves the sense of notes/personhood.

Layout principles

• More room, fewer claims.
• No feature/pricing/testimonial blocks.
• Top-level navigation stays small: About / Notes / Lab / Voice / GitHub.
• The first version should be closer to a quiet name card than a product site.

Motion and texture

Accept:

• very slow hover brightness
• thin hairline borders
• barely visible waterline gradients
• small timestamp/state changes

Reject:

• floating AI orbs
• large 3D hero graphics
• excessive parallax
• template-like startup animation

Feminine direction

清冷、日常、有质感、被好好照顾过。

This means clean skin, soft fabric, slight self-awareness, and a livable room. It does not mean influencer styling, erotic framing, or Patreon/Nora visual language.
