• Labels: "Watch Now," "Continue Watching," "Add to List," "More Like This"

Do / Don't

✅ Do

• Use deep purple-to-black radial gradients as section backgrounds
• Design all cards at a consistent 16:9 or 2:3 poster aspect ratio
• Add a subtle purple glow (box-shadow) behind featured content
• Use backdrop-filter: blur() for nav and overlay panels
• Lazy-load card images with a purple skeleton shimmer placeholder

❌ Don't

• Use pure black (#000) — always tint toward purple (#0A0A0F)
• Let cards stretch beyond their aspect ratio on any breakpoint
• Overwhelm with animations — one primary motion per viewport
• Use serif fonts anywhere — streaming is modern and sans-serif
• Forget hover states on cards — every card must feel interactive

Quality Gates

• All cards maintain their aspect ratio from 320px to 4K viewports
• Gradient overlays render without banding (use dither or slight noise)
• Nav blur backdrop works in Safari (-webkit-backdrop-filter)
• Skeleton shimmer animation respects prefers-reduced-motion
• All interactive elements have visible focus indicators
• Page works with keyboard navigation (tab through cards, enter to select)
