Design specification
Philosophy and fit. Deliver compact, regularly structured information through explicit sections and numbered pages. Suitable for event bulletins, community updates, sports summaries, and small informational directories.
Visual grammar. Use a broadcast-style title strip, visible page identifier, tightly organised text rows, block colour bands, and a footer of section links. Monospaced display text and rectangular graphics create the character. Keep a deliberately limited palette, while choosing text and background combinations that remain readable. Unlike a terminal, the page resembles an edited bulletin, without prompts or command history.
Specimen and flow. *TownText* is a fictional community notice service. Choose What’s On, open a numbered event page, and follow its booking information. Supporting views are the subject index and a saved-pages list stored locally. Dates are labelled sample content.
Mobile and motion. Preserve section order while allowing lines to wrap; do not shrink the entire broadcast frame into illegible miniature text. Page-number entry supplements visible links.
Identity and effort. Preserve editorial compression and numbered navigation; avoid mandatory memorised codes, flashing text, and pixel-game decoration. Effort: low.
