Build in public, ship with confidence: /devlab

A landing template designed like a small lab bench—modular panels, commit-style rhythm, and terminal cues. For projects that want contributors to feel welcomed, oriented, and ready to make.

BUILDCI green

Ultra-thin borders, dotted separators, and grid overlays: maker clarity with soft glow.

STACKmodular

Cards behave like stackable modules—swap sections, add panels, keep the rhythm tight.

LICENSEMIT-ready

Footer includes micro-badges and contributor avatars—open-source signals, front and center.

Cool desaturated lab workspace with modules and notes
Module bench

Panels and cards read like components: consistent structure, subtle variation per category.

Schematic-like blueprint scene with cyan overlay
Schematic overlays

Faint grids + annotations: a transparent, experimental atmosphere without clutter.

Terminal-inspired interface with green accents
Terminal rhythm

Humanist sans for readability, monospace accents for commit cues and metadata.

Collaborative workshop setting with tools and light glow
Collaboration glow

Neon edge highlights guide attention: links, buttons, and key states remain accessible.

This slider is decorative and cycles automatically.
