Design language comparison
Comet vs Lovable
Comet runs a dark-canvas system while Lovable chose light, and they pair different display families (system-ui vs Camera Plain Variable). Beyond surface, motion divides them — Comet is expressive, Lovable is moderate.

Palette & spacing overlap
Palette overlap is zero — Comet and Lovable live in completely different chromatic registers, even when their layout grids feel adjacent. Their spacing scales overlap by 25% (8, 16, 32 px shared) — a rhythm any agent can transfer between the two systems with minimal recalibration.
Curator verdict
Pick a side. Mixing Comet's dark-first canvas with Lovable's moderate motion vocabulary produces visual whiplash. Adopt one system as your primary, study the other for individual technique transfers (e.g. Comet's spacing, Lovable's shadow).
