Review Bay ยท Phase 3.5
Paper Room variations
A/B have been retired. This round explores three directions from the winning Paper Room concept: refined warm light, warm night mode, and a review-focused desk.
Mobile rule: inbox scrolls away, no sticky half-screen nonsense.
โ Warm Light
Refined Paper Room
The closest evolution of the chosen C direction: warmer hierarchy, softer paper cards, and a low-risk path to implementation.
- Best continuity with original C
- Mobile inbox scrolls away
- Safe, readable, calm
๐ฏ Warm Night
Dark mode without the spaceship blues
Espresso, clay, amber, and parchment highlights. Same cozy document room, just after the lights dim.
- Warm dark palette
- Includes mode toggle
- No purple/blue tech fog
โ๏ธ Focus Desk
Review-first Paper Room
More emphasis on the document, current status, and feedback thread. The inbox becomes a helper, not the landlord.
- Document-first hierarchy
- Status selector in the desk bar
- Compact mobile inbox
Rocket take: Warm Light is safest, Warm Night solves your dark-mode ask, Focus Desk is probably the strongest product direction if Review Bay becomes a real daily review cockpit.
