Show HN: Ink Signal, editor themes with fewer colours (gaurav-singh.info)

2 points by gvsh_maths ↗ HN
I made Ink Signal, a set of editor and terminal themes with fewer syntax colours, inspired by paintings. There are five palettes in light and dark.

The site has an editable GLSL preview and a searchable gallery of 100 file/folder icons. The theme pack is paid; the preview is free to try.

Look at your page through the eyes of a new visitor: just five seconds, with no scrolling.

Score: 45/100. The main reasons for losing visitors are a weak value proposition and a lack of information.

Visitors see only a brief slogan ("Fewer colors for code editors and terminals") without grasping the full benefits or compatibility features of the Ink Signal theme, which makes them hesitate to buy.

How to fix it quickly: expand the "What's Included" and "Features" sections to clearly describe compatibility, benefits, and exactly what the product contains.

(I see several other issues—I can share the rest if it would be helpful, and provide a ready-made solution for fixing them.)

For context: I am developing a tool for this type of analysis and testing it on real pages to see if the results offer any value to users.
