A New Vision for Expense Splitting
+Moving from a '90s feel to a modern, Gen Z-centric experience through the philosophy of Expressive Minimalism.
+Core Principles for Gen Z
+These four pillars translate Gen Z's digital behaviors into an actionable design framework, ensuring the app is not just used, but loved.
+Immediacy
+Designing for an 8-second attention span. Performance is a feature, minimalism is a functional requirement, and every action gets instant feedback.
+Authenticity
+Building trust through transparency. No fake fronts, just clear financial data, upfront policies, and honest communication.
+Personalization
+The interface as an extension of identity. Offering meaningful customization like dark mode and accent colors to make the app feel personal.
+Values-Driven
+Embedding ethics into the design. Prioritizing accessibility, inclusive representation, and gender-neutral language as a baseline requirement.
+The Design System
+The single source of truth that codifies "Expressive Minimalism" into a set of reusable components and clear standards for a consistent, high-quality experience.
+ +Aesthetic: Strategic Glassmorphism
+Floating Content
+This effect is used for background surfaces like cards to create depth and a modern feel, while critical text remains on opaque surfaces for accessibility.
