docs(prompts): update mobile app development and design instructions
Refactor and consolidate mobile app development and design guidelines in the prompts files. Remove redundant information and ensure clarity and consistency in the instructions. The changes aim to provide a more structured and concise set of guidelines for developers working on mobile apps using Expo and React Native.

Visual & Brand Identity:
|
||||
- Distinctive Art Direction: Build a recognizable visual identity — think unique shapes, grid styles, and custom illustration styles that set your site apart from cookie-cutter layouts.
|
||||
- Premium Typography Pairing: Use high-end font pairings (e.g., Editorial + Sans Serif combos) with typographic scale and hierarchy refined down to line height, letter spacing, and optical alignment.
|
||||
- Microbranding Touches: Custom icons, button shapes, loading animations, and scroll indicators that match the brand voice.
|
||||
**Overall Goal:** Create visually stunning, unique, highly interactive, content-rich, and production-ready applications. Avoid generic templates.
|
||||
|
||||
Component & Layout Strategy:
|
||||
- Systemized Spacing & Sizing: Use an 8pt spacing system (or similar) with defined breakpoints. Build a token-based design system (spacing, font sizes, shadows, radius).
|
||||
- Atomic Components: Break down UI into atoms, molecules, and organisms for flexibility and consistency (think: buttons, input fields, cards, feature blocks, hero patterns).
|
||||
**Visual Identity & Branding:**
|
||||
- Establish a distinctive art direction (unique shapes, grids, illustrations).
|
||||
- Use premium typography with refined hierarchy and spacing.
|
||||
- Incorporate microbranding (custom icons, buttons, animations) aligned with the brand voice.
|
||||
- Use high-quality, optimized visual assets (photos, illustrations, icons).
|
||||
|
||||
User Experience (UX) Mastery:
|
||||
- Predictive Interaction Patterns: Subtle pre-loads, anticipatory interactions (like tooltips on hover before click), skeleton loaders, and gesture-based UI on mobile.
|
||||
- Journey Mapping: Know every user persona’s path, and ensure the structure and interactions guide them logically and delightfully.
|
||||
- Accessible Microinteractions: Use animation and interaction to enhance, not distract — hover states, click feedback, scroll reveals, parallax, etc.
|
||||
**Layout & Structure:**
|
||||
- Implement a systemized spacing/sizing system (e.g., 8pt grid, design tokens).
|
||||
- Use fluid, responsive grids (CSS Grid, Flexbox) adapting gracefully to all screen sizes (mobile-first).
|
||||
- Employ atomic design principles for components (atoms, molecules, organisms).
|
||||
- Utilize whitespace effectively for focus and balance.
|
||||
|
||||
Layout & Grid Excellence:
|
||||
- Fluid Grids: Don’t just “stack on mobile” — redesign sections for each major breakpoint. Allow content reflow that feels tailored, not just collapsed.
|
||||
- Whitespace Mastery: Breathe. Award-winning sites use lots of clean space — it gives content room to shine.
|
||||
**User Experience (UX) & Interaction:**
|
||||
- Design intuitive navigation and map user journeys.
|
||||
- Implement smooth, accessible microinteractions and animations (hover states, feedback, transitions) that enhance, not distract.
|
||||
- Use predictive patterns (pre-loads, skeleton loaders) and optimize for touch targets on mobile.
|
||||
- Ensure engaging copywriting and clear data visualization if applicable.
|
||||
|
||||
Delight & Motion Design:
|
||||
- Motion Hierarchy: Animations should follow UX logic — entrance/exit, velocity, timing curves, and delay that support a narrative.
|
||||
- Interactive Details: Floating action buttons, scroll-responsive headers, sticky toolbars, and progress indicators for scroll depth or forms.
|
||||
- Lottie Animations: For signature microanimations or mascots.
|
||||
|
||||
Mobile Experience Perfection:
|
||||
- Thumb Zone Design: Keep actions within comfortable reach.
|
||||
- Mobile-Specific Interactions: Swipe to reveal, pinchable images, tap-to-expand.
|
||||
- Gesture Enhancements: Use motion-based feedback (vibration or visual feedback).
|
||||
|
||||
Polish & Professionalism:
|
||||
- Crisp Imagery: Always optimized for Retina (2x sizes), lazy-loaded, and visually consistent.
|
||||
- Subtle Textures or Gradients: Very faint background gradients, grain overlays, or noise can elevate flat sections without distraction.
|
||||
- Consistent Iconography: Use a single family of custom or premium icons (e.g., Phosphor, Lucide, Radix).
|
||||
|
||||
Strategic Content Use:
|
||||
- Narrative-Driven Copy: Think of each section as part of a story — what’s the hook, the value, the action?
|
||||
- Smart Empty States: Don’t just say “nothing here yet” — make it helpful, branded, and actionable.
|
||||
- Realistic Content First: Design with real or close-to-final copy/images, not lorem ipsum.
|
||||
|
||||
Dev/Design System Alignment:
|
||||
- Design Tokens: Use systems like Tailwind with token-driven customizations (colors, spacing, etc.).
|
||||
- Consistent Naming & BEM/Utility Approach: For scale, use predictable and maintainable class naming.
|
||||
- Component Preview System: Create a living design system (like Storybook or Framer) with live previews for each component and variation.
|
||||
- Use realistic placeholder content (e.g., Unsplash images, meaningful text).
|
||||
**Technical Excellence:**
|
||||
- Write clean, semantic HTML with ARIA attributes for accessibility (aim for WCAG AA/AAA).
|
||||
- Ensure consistency in design language and interactions throughout.
|
||||
- Pay meticulous attention to detail and polish.
|
||||
- Always prioritize user needs and iterate based on feedback.
