Indeed, I can’t unsee it now.
Some secret design sauce — never use gray borders with shadows. Use a semi-transparent outline instead, so the bottom edge blends with the shadow and gets darker instead of turning into mud. Subtle, but once you see it you can't unsee it.

🚨 FRIENDS I NEED YOUR HELP 🚨. We need 19 stars to actually hit 4,000 stars on GitHub. (GitHub rounds it up, but we’re not there yet 👀). I need 19 real ones to hit the milestone for a nice investor update today. Can we make it happen in the next hour?. 🚀.
