Design
We strive to build an application that embraces simplicity and avoids unexpected behavior. It must be able to run on a wide range of devices. Its user interface must be easy to use for everyone.
Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works.

— Asim AslamAny fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple.

Icons¶
Since Vuetify is based on Material Design, we stick with the following icons and only use other icons when absolutely necessary (e.g. for sharing):

Colors¶
Our UI themes should all contain a color spectrum so that they look like a prism:
