I love and hate it at the same time. Nice. Or in other words:

If(true) { return false; }

A quick mockup to better explain my last comment. Obviously not ideal but still a lot more intuitive than reading the text, without giving up the overall vibe. I’d go for green for clubs and spades.

Nice idea! Have you considered adding line numbers across the left side of the card though, with the line corresponding to that card's rank being highlighted (think visual studio code)? Goin even one step further, still on the visual studio code like layout, you could also add the rank as a small "debug" icon. This could help make the deck actually useful for play instead of being just a design piece.

that's a nice design. I think you could do your version without the JSON and it would look cool

I’ll think about it, it could go well with programming languages more than json in fact
