Developers and engineering teams who use Claude Code and want to extend it with plugins. They arrive with a specific intent: discover, evaluate, and install plugins quickly. Both individual developers seeking productivity tools and teams evaluating plugins for adoption. The interface should evoke confidence, efficiency, and trust -- users are installing code that runs in their development environment, so credibility signals matter.
Polished, modern, trustworthy.
Voice is technical but approachable. Tone is confident without being corporate. The marketplace should feel like a curated, well-maintained ecosystem rather than a dumping ground. Passion Factory maintains this as a community resource, so it should communicate care and quality.
- Visual tone: Clean and refined, similar to Vercel, Linear, or Nuxt Modules. Premium developer tool aesthetic with generous whitespace, clear hierarchy, and purposeful use of color.
- References: Vercel Marketplace (sleek cards, trust signals), Nuxt Modules (clean grid, developer-friendly), Linear (refined spacing, dark mode excellence)
- Anti-references: WordPress plugin directory (cluttered, ad-heavy), generic SaaS landing pages (stock photos, marketing fluff), overly playful/childish aesthetics
- Theme: Light and dark mode (already supported via Nuxt UI). Dark mode should feel first-class, not an afterthought.
- Colors: Nuxt UI defaults with primary color. Badge colors (amber, orange, purple, blue) for author/feature differentiation. No custom brand palette needed -- lean into the design system.
- Typography: System font stack with Korean support (already configured). Prioritize readability and clear hierarchy over decorative typography.
- Icons: Heroicons (UI) + Simple Icons (brand logos). Consistent sizing and alignment.
- Content-first clarity -- Plugin name, description, and install action should be instantly scannable. Every visual element must earn its place.
- Trust through polish -- Consistent spacing, aligned elements, and refined details signal that this marketplace (and its plugins) are well-maintained.
- Efficient discovery -- Users should find what they need in seconds. Search, filter, and card layout should minimize cognitive load.
- Inclusive by default -- WCAG AA compliance, respects reduced motion preferences, works well in both light and dark modes, supports Korean and English text.
- Design system loyalty -- Use Nuxt UI components and Tailwind utilities as intended. Avoid custom CSS overrides unless the design system genuinely can't express the intent. Consistency > novelty.
