Cahier site

How a tool site wears krizaka.com's identity: the Cahier, its own bird and hue, taped prints, doodles and grades — one language, never one layout.

The tool sites — this one, Java, TypeScript, the Motion lab — wear the same identity as krizaka.com: the Cahier (paper, margin, § numbers), the bird mascots, prints taped in the notebook, and the Krizaka style — retro, the arcade, the manga, doodles in the margins of a school notebook, grades out of 20. It is shared here as templates, never copied per site.

A language, not a layout

SiteCahier is a frame and a set of regions. It does not carry a page that every site repeats:

  • each site picks its own hero, its own featured pieces and its own rhythm;
  • each site has its own bird, its own hue and its own playful accent;
  • no two sites should look like the same page with a different name.

The content comes first and stays readable. Every playful piece is decoration with a real text equivalent, and none of them moves under reduced motion.

The pieces

PieceWhat it addsThe rule
SiteCahierThe bar with the site's bird, the nav, the hue, the family footer.One per page; bar takes the shared NavBar.
SiteCahierHero / SiteCahierDocA hero with the bird taped beside it; a reading page on ruled paper.Compose them, or use PageHero and Page directly.
DoodleAn arrow, a circled word, a star, a wavy underline, a bird sketch.Two at most per screen; the ink is the token --kz-doodle-ink.
GradeStampA teacher's grade, 18/20, with a remark.Only from real data, with its source in the tooltip.
VersusCardTwo subjects face to face, stat bars, a « VS ».The figures are measured; no winner is computed.
SpeedLinesManga action lines behind one element.Static, still under reduced motion.

The birds

Each tool gets a bird by the brand reference: the falcon watches (security), the owl reads, the duck builds (code), the flamingo answers or gets paid, the pigeon delivers. The proposal below is for the maintainers to confirm.

Krizaka TypeScriptpigeonIt delivers typed results.200
Krizaka MotionflamingoIt answers to the hand.335

One example per tool site

Each example below is a whole page in Templates, and each composes the same pieces differently.

  • Krizaka UI — the duck builds. The duck's print is taped beside the title, a doodle arrow points at the way in and a grade computed from the coverage report sits in the hero. Then numbered sections on ruled paper.
  • Krizaka Java — the owl reads. No taped print: the hero is a versus card of two releases, on figures the build measured, then the modules as specimen tags.
  • Krizaka Motion — the flamingo answers. The hero is a live demo in a burst of speed lines; below it, prints taped the other way.
  • Krizaka TypeScript — the pigeon delivers. A documentation page on ruled paper, a circled word and its contents beside it; and the changelog, the shared template inside the same frame.
import { SiteCahier, SiteCahierHero } from "@krizaka/ui/site-cahier";
import { VersusCard } from "@krizaka/ui/versus-card";

<SiteCahier site="java" name="Krizaka Java" bird="owl" hue={35} nav={nav} footer={{ version: "3.1.0" }}>
  <SiteCahierHero title="Read the release before you upgrade" aside={<VersusCard {...match} />} />
</SiteCahier>;

Dark and light

Dark is chalk on slate, light is ink on paper, both at AA contrast, and every region has a phone layout. Import the blocks' stylesheet once (@krizaka/ui/blocks.css) and the tokens do the rest.
