[ aesthetic_overhaul.preview ]
A warmer terminal interface for the site: amber phosphor on black glass, hard-edged system panels, command-line structure, and a glow that feels technical without tipping into parody.
$ ./run_positioning.sh --site=jmbartelt --theme=orange-crt
The goal is not “make it look like a terminal.” The goal is to make the site feel like the public surface of someone who ships real systems: fast, precise, code-literate, cinematic, and comfortable operating at the edge of AI, XR, and product execution.
The pattern: retain the current JM warmth, but replace soft portfolio polish with an amber systems-console language: scanlines, mono labels, rectangular frames, bright metadata, and editorial proof blocks.
[ INTERFACE PRINCIPLE ]
// OUTPUT: The page should communicate taste and code fluency before a visitor reads a single paragraph.
[ COLOR TRANSLATION ]
The inspiration page’s green glow, mono font, scanlines, and intelligence-brief hierarchy are right. The JM version shifts the phosphor from hacker green into amber/orange so the mood lands warmer, more cinematic, and closer to the existing site’s yellow-orange accent system.
[ AI AGENTS ]
Use logs, status labels, and output blocks to show agentic work as operational infrastructure.
[ XR / FILM ]
The glow and vignette give the page production-design energy without becoming a sci-fi prop.
[ LEADERSHIP ]
The structure feels decisive and legible: exactly the opposite of noisy “AI futurist” branding.
