Tinted Trays Theme

Colorful containers with tinted backgrounds and bold accents. A vibrant system of nested trays and capsule elements.

Arca UI overview

Arca UI originated from an intensive experiment in building AI-powered site-building agents. While the agent tool itself is currently on hiatus, the project led to a deep exploration of how AI can achieve high-fidelity, consistent, and elegant front-end architecture.

Through this process, I've developed dozens of aesthetically cohesive design themes and refined a series of complex workflows and debugging systems. Now, I am systematically releasing these findings as a component library. My goal is to empower indie hackers and small teams by providing pre-optimized, production-ready UI blocks that save hundreds of hours typically spent on styling and debugging.

Tinted Trays' Design Philosophy

Tinted Trays organizes content in colorful, semi-transparent containers that nest within each other. The layered tray system creates clear visual hierarchy while maintaining a fresh, modern aesthetic with bold color accents.
