Same blue and layout, but text and secondary text are much darker, hairlines are visible, the active item is a solid black pill and status chips are saturated. Fixes the “washed out” feeling with the least change.

A near-black sidebar frames the work area, the way Linear and Raycast do. Content stays light and calm; the frame gives the whole app weight and a clear edge.

Buttons, active states and links are black. Color appears only on statuses, so a failed post or a pending review jumps out instantly. Very Vercel; the most “serious tool” of the four.

A saturated ultramarine sidebar makes the product recognisable at a glance and gives Outloud a brand. Work area stays neutral. The boldest option — loud, fitting the name.
