About the Code Review template
Git diff live: reds mark deletions, greens flag success, monospace type keeps everything technical and trustworthy. Developers who've scanned a thousand terminal windows recognize this code-review palette instantly and feel immediately at home. This Terminal aesthetic communicates credibility through authenticity. Customize your domain to own the pre-launch narrative on your own infrastructure.
What the demo shows
The live demo on this page launches Diffhawk, a made-up product we wrote to show the template with realistic copy: the headline reads “Reviews that catch bugs, not semicolons” and the subhead says “Diffhawk reads each pull request in context, flags the risky logic changes first, and leaves the style nits to your linter.” Below it you see the signup form, a demo launch countdown and the share-to-climb referral panel exactly as a visitor would. Try the form: in the demo nothing is stored. When you use Code Review, you replace Diffhawk with your own product name, headline, subhead and logo; the palette and motion come with it and every colour stays editable.
Design details
Code Review is a dark template: a deep blue background (#0d1117), light sky blue type (#c9d1d9) and a vivid vermilion accent (#f97316) on the join button, the countdown and the referral highlights. Body text sits at a 12.3:1 contrast ratio against the background, comfortably past the WCAG AAA threshold. Behind the copy the page animates with an animated code editor layer, front and centre; visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get a still frame instead. Structurally it uses the Cyber-Glitch layout, shared with 84 other templates, but the palette, the motion and the demo copy are Code Review's own.

How it compares
Within Terminal, Code Review stands out for its vivid vermilion accent on a deep blue ground. If it is not quite right, Makefile is also dark but leans on a vivid green accent and scrolling terminal output (“Bash prompt, build green”). Syslog is also dark but leans on a vivid blue accent and streams of data flowing past (“Pale grey logs, timestamp blue”). Solarized Dark is also dark but leans on a sky blue accent and a pulsing dot grid (“Selenized dark, syntax cool”). All of them share the same signup, referral and analytics features, so switching later only changes the look.
