todo-signin-ui

Design Philosophy (Senior Designer View)

• Same visual system as signup (brand consistency)
• Different psychology: speed, familiarity, confidence
• Sign-in should feel instant, secure, and calm
• Layout must feel intentional — not copied

---

When to Use

• User requests a sign-in screen for the todo app
• Theme must exactly match signup UI
• User wants premium black + pink glassmorphism
• User wants a new page layout, not a simple form clone

---

Global Styling Rules (Must Match Signup)

• Background: Near-black / black canvas
• Ambient pink glow (radial / blurred shapes)
• Glass color: Pink-tinted only
• No white or gray glass
• Same border radius, shadows, blur intensity

---

High-Level Page Layout

Overall Canvas

• Full height viewport
• Black background with subtle animated pink glow
• Layout differs from signup while staying familiar

---

Left Panel (35–40%) — Context & Trust

Purpose: Reassure returning users

• Minimal app logo or icon
• Calm headline
• Short supportive description
• Visuals less loud than signup

Example hierarchy:

• Heading: "Welcome back"
• Description: "Pick up right where you left off. Your tasks are waiting."

---

Right Panel (60–65%) — Primary Action Area

Purpose: Fast authentication

• Large centered pink glass card
• Slightly wider than signup card
• Strong visual focus

Inside card:

• Sign In heading
• Email + Password fields
• Forgot password (allowed here)
• Primary CTA
• Social sign-in

---

Glassmorphism Rules (Same as Signup)

• Background: rgba(255, 110, 199, 0.12)
• Backdrop blur: 20–30px
• Border: rgba(255, 110, 199, 0.35)
• Soft pink outer glow

---

• Icons only

Icons:

Style:

---

Navigation Hint (Allowed Difference)
