Blackalgo vs Warp
Blackalgo runs a dark-canvas system while Warp chose light, and they pair different display families (TWKLausanne vs Inter). Beyond surface, motion levels are both expressive.

Palette & spacing overlap
Palette overlap is zero — Blackalgo and Warp live in completely different chromatic registers, even when their layout grids feel adjacent. Their spacing scales overlap by 83% (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 px shared) — a rhythm any agent can transfer between the two systems with minimal recalibration.
Curator verdict
Pick a side. Mixing Blackalgo's dark-first canvas with Warp's expressive motion vocabulary produces visual whiplash. Adopt one system as your primary, study the other for individual technique transfers (e.g. Blackalgo's spacing, Warp's shadow).
