What it does

A restrained blue statement introduces the editor on a spacious pale canvas. A large dark code window establishes the working environment before clean technical feature columns, collaboration examples and developer evidence. Avatars, code snippets and later editor views maintain a practical developer focus.

Section roster

1. Restrained editor introduction. 2. Large code-editor window. 3. Technical feature columns. 4. Collaboration examples. 5. Open-source contributor evidence. 6. Additional editor views. 7. Developer resources.

Why it works

The quiet blue palette lets code and interface detail become the main visual evidence. Consistent spacing and compact labels organize technical claims without turning the page into dense documentation.

Source and capture notes

Refero [style page](https://styles.refero.design/style/a541789c-36e7-45a4-9d1d-143921a82a8b) and [recorded video](https://images.refero.design/styles/refero.design/video/411f744e-3261-4cab-831b-8a8b826f8f9e.mp4); [live site](https://zed.dev) checked on 2026-10-06. The recording is a point-in-time reference; current site content may differ. Descriptions distinguish the recording from the current page where they differ. Layout and motion notes come from sampled recording frames and automated live captures; interactive controls were not comprehensively tested. Current captures add fine ruler-like grid lines, a lighter editor preview and expanded AI-related features. The recorded interface and current examples differ.
