Terms of use

Agreeing to this

Using the site is the whole of the agreement. There is nothing to sign, no account to open and no box to tick: read a reference or copy a prompt and this page is what you did it under. If some of it does not suit you, the remedy is the ordinary one — close the tab.

It covers the published showcase at ai-taste-vault.vercel.app, everything served under it, and the files it writes for machines rather than people — llms.txt, llms-full.txt, sitemap.xml and robots.txt. It is between you and SharpHaw, which publishes it.

What this site is

Taste Vault is a library of web design references. Each one starts as a page somebody else designed: it is captured at full height, read down to its palette, its typefaces and the real numbers behind its spacing, written up, and published beside a build prompt that describes the design closely enough for an AI model to rebuild it without ever seeing the screenshot. The rebuild is published too, next to the original, so the prompt can be checked against something rather than taken on trust.

It is a side project and a standing experiment, not a product. Nothing is for sale, there is no account, and nothing here is on its way to becoming a subscription. The about page is the longer version of this paragraph.

The prompts are yours

Take them. Every build prompt, every analysis and every design token on this site — the palettes, the typeface classes, the spacing numbers — is free to use for anything at all, including work you are paid for and products you sell. Copy them, cut them up, rewrite them, feed them to whichever model you like. No attribution is asked for, no permission has to be requested, and there is no licence to accept first.

The same goes for the pictures made for a rebuild — the illustrations and photographs a demo uses in place of the original’s own artwork, each published with the prompt that generated it. They were made for this site and they are handed over along with everything else.

A link back is welcome and will never be required. If you would like to point at where something came from, ai-taste-vault.vercel.app is the address.

What is not this site’s to give

The designs are not. Every reference here is somebody else’s work — their layout, their type, their colour, their words, their screenshots of their own product — and none of it becomes licensed by being written about. These are notes on a design. Notes on a building are not a deed to it.

Concretely, these stay with whoever owns them:

• the designs themselves, and the pages they live on;
• the captures on this site, in so far as what they show is somebody else’s work;
• every brand name, wordmark and logo that appears in a capture or in the name of a reference.

Those names are used to say which design is being discussed, and for nothing else. Nothing here implies that the people who made these designs endorse this site, are involved in it, or were ever asked.

The prompts are written so that the line holds in whatever they produce. They describe structure, spacing, colour roles and motion, and never brand: no logos, no company names, no borrowed marketing copy, placeholder content throughout. A prompt carrying any of that is a mistake rather than a policy — point at it and it comes out.

The rebuilds are machine output

Read them as such. A rebuild is a single standalone page a model produced from the prompt alone, with no sight of the original, kept exactly as it came back. It is evidence about the prompt. It is not a component library, it has not been reviewed, and it was never meant to be shipped.

So it may be wrong. It may be inaccessible, it may fall apart at a width nobody tested, it may contain markup no one would put in a real project. Anything you take out of one is yours to check first, the same way you would check anything else a model wrote for you.

They are served from this site so the comparison works, and they are kept out of search indexes deliberately: they are copies of other people’s designs and have no business ranking at an address of their own. That exclusion is written down in robots.txt.

If a design here is yours

Then it comes down, if that is what you want. Write to contact@sharphaw.com, name the page, and it is removed. There is no form, nothing to prove, and nothing to argue about — the reference is yours to withdraw and that is the end of it.

Other outcomes are available if you would prefer one: a correction to something the notes get wrong, a different screenshot, a link pointing where you would rather it pointed, or the reference left up with your name on it. Ask for whichever suits you.

What is asked of you

Four things, and they are the obvious ones.

• Do not try to break the site, overload it, or reach anything it does not already publish.
• Do not republish the vault as your own. Taking a prompt is the point; mirroring the whole catalogue under a different name is not.
• Do not use anything from here to pass work off as another company’s. The brands in these captures did not agree to that.
• Do not use the site to do something illegal — which needs saying once and needs no explaining.

Automated readers are welcome, and not grudgingly. Crawlers, agents and language models are invited: robots.txt names them one by one, llms.txt maps the site, and llms-full.txt is every analysis and every prompt in a single file — faster for you to read and cheaper for the server than scraping the pages. The one thing asked is that the rebuilt demos stay out of indexes, as robots.txt says.

What this site does not promise

It is published as it stands. Taste Vault comes with no warranty of any kind: nothing on it is promised to be accurate, complete, current, available tomorrow, or fit for whatever you have in mind. Four specifics are worth being plain about.

• The analyses are opinions. They are argued rather than measured, and you are free to think they are wrong.
• The tokens are measured, and measurement is not truth. Palettes are sampled from pixels and typefaces are read out of CSS, so both can miss the intent and can occasionally be wrong about the fact.
• None of it is legal advice. Whether you may borrow a particular design, and how close is too close, is a question for a lawyer where you live and not for a page of design notes.
• The site can change or disappear. References are added, corrected, archived and removed; a link that worked last month may not work today. Nothing here is an archive, and no address is promised to keep answering.

Where responsibility ends

With what you build. You decide what to take from this site and what to ship, and the consequences of shipping it are yours — which is true of any reference library and is true of this one.

As far as the law allows, SharpHaw is not liable for any loss, damage or cost arising out of using this site or anything made from it, including a claim from someone who thinks your work sits too close to a design you found here. Nothing on this page limits a liability that cannot be limited, and nothing on it takes away a right you have under the consumer law of your own country.

Links out

Every reference links back to the page it came from, and many link on to where it was found — a gallery, a post, a thread. Those are other people’s sites. They change, they go behind logins, they disappear, and what is on them is neither this site’s doing nor its responsibility. A link here is a citation, not an endorsement.

Privacy, and the one cookie

There are no accounts, so there is no profile of you to keep. The only thing measured is which references get opened, by a single analytics tool that is not loaded at all until you say yes — declining is not a preference it is asked to respect, it is the tracker never arriving. What it stores, what it is asked and how to switch it back off is written out on the cookie page in the same detail as this one.

The other way this site could hold anything about you is if you write to it. An email is an email: it is read, it is replied to, and it is kept only as long as the thread is worth keeping.

If these change

They will eventually, and the date at the foot of this page is how you will know. There is no mailing list to announce a change on and no banner that will interrupt you about one, so that date is the whole of the notice: using the site after it moves is how a change is accepted, and the version in front of you is the version that applies.

If some part of this page turns out to be unenforceable where you live, the rest of it still stands.

Getting in touch

One address for all of it — contact@sharphaw.com — for takedowns, corrections, questions about what you may do with a prompt, and references you think belong on the wall.

The showcase is published by SharpHaw. It is made by Gabs, which the about page explains at more length than this one should.
