* feat(web): deslop marketing site with workstation craft identity Replace generic AI SaaS landing patterns with a deliberate Linux desk utility look: cool paper palette, Bricolage + Source Sans, solid type, editorial feature rows, and terminal install as first-class proof. Adds PRODUCT.md, DESIGN.md, and WEB-DESLOP-NOTES.md. Drops unused geist and react-intersection-observer. No product claim changes. * chore(web): drop local deslop working notes from PR WEB-DESLOP-NOTES.md was a firstmate/session artifact, not product docs. * fix(web): stop mobile horizontal overflow and harden viewport layout Long install URLs expanded the page past the phone width. Constrain terminal pre with break-all, min-w-0 columns, and overflow-x clip. Tighten mobile hero type and full-width CTAs. Add Playwright viewport QA script and jest checks that assert no overflow at desktop/tablet/mobile. * refactor(web): drop browser speech preview from marketing home Remove the cloud SpeechRecognition demo section and nav Demo link. Keep product truth: hero install, features, screenshots, engines. Fold shortcut/engine/audio links into the features intro. Delete unused LiveDemo component and its unit test. * chore(web): remove orphaned demo overlay and double-press hook Only LiveDemo used these; gone with the browser preview section. * feat(web): borrow PR #546 craft language into deslop home Merge closed redesign language onto feat/web-deslop-craft: pure white and near-black iron surfaces, emerald-committed palette, asymmetric hero with real app screenshots, full-bleed install strip, feature bento with tray/settings shots, and install-to-dictation steps. Keep Bricolage + Source Sans (not Geist), no browser speech demo, and mobile overflow guards. Update screenshots homepage expectations. * docs(design): align DESIGN.md tokens with PR #546 iron/emerald palette * fix(web): drop settings screenshot from installer details Uninstall sat too far below the list once the general-settings shot was in that column. Keep checklist, requirements, and uninstall only. * fix(web): raise light-mode primary and footer contrast Darken light emerald so white button text hits ~5:1 (was 3.4). Brighten install-strip and footer secondary text for legibility. Verified light/dark × desktop/tablet/mobile with no overflow. * fix(web): compact feature cards to kill empty vertical space Right-column tiles were h-full + justify-between next to a tall screenshot, so short copy left large voids. Use content-height cards with denser padding and inline link rows instead. * fix(web): pair settings shot with full feature rail Replace three orphan cards beside a tall dialog with a six-row feature panel that stretches with the screenshot frame. Crop the settings image with object-cover/object-top so heights match and no void sits next to the UI shot. * feat(web): apply homepage craft language to SEO child pages Rewrite SeoSubpageShell chrome (fixed nav, install pill, iron footer) to match the deslop home. Add subpage utilities and retoken all templated child routes: borders, radii, mono kickers, single emerald accent, terminal panels, no rainbow icon tiles or gradient cards. * fix(web): avoid invalid @apply hover:border-primary/40 in subpage-card * fix(web): rewrite subpage CSS without invalid Tailwind @apply * fix(web): color comparison X icons rose-red on alternatives Use soft rose (#c45c5c / #e08b8b) for no/cons marks so they read as distinct from emerald yes/checks without looking like form errors. * docs(web): move product/design docs under web/ and drop impeccable markers Keep PRODUCT.md and DESIGN.md next to the Next app (not repo root), add web/AGENTS.md as the entry point, and point the root AGENTS website section at those files. Strip tool-specific schema comments. * fix(web): use icon-only copy control on install terminal Replace the chunky Copy/Copied chip with a quiet clipboard icon that turns into a check on success. * fix(web): restyle system requirements as a spec rail Replace the nested bullet card with mono-label / value pairs under the installer section so it matches the craft language used elsewhere. * fix(web): center engine rows and quiet the Default badge Align name/badge with multi-line engine details on sm+; replace the filled green pill with a small mono outline chip.

web (Next.js marketing site under web/)
Users
Linux desktop users who want voice dictation that stays on their machine: developers, writers, and people reducing keyboard strain. They already live in terminals, browsers, IDEs, and GTK/Qt apps.
Product purpose
Vocalinux is free, open-source offline voice dictation for Linux. It turns speech into typed text in whatever app has focus, using local engines (whisper.cpp default, Whisper, VOSK) or an optional user-configured remote API. Success is: install once, dictate in any app, without cloud transcription or telemetry.
Positioning
Offline-first Linux voice typing with real desktop integration (system tray, X11 and Wayland text injection, toggle and push-to-talk, Silero VAD, suspend recovery). A cloud SaaS voice product cannot truthfully claim local-only models plus no usage telemetry from the installed app.
Operating context
- Install via a one-line shell installer, then run from PATH or app menu
- System tray indicator and settings GUI (GTK)
- Dictation into terminals, browsers, IDEs, office apps
- Engines and models chosen for hardware (CPU, optional Vulkan GPU)
- Guides and comparison pages on vocalinux.com; source on GitHub
Capabilities and constraints
- Engines: whisper.cpp (default), OpenAI Whisper, VOSK, optional Remote API
- Display servers: X11 and Wayland
- Shortcut modes: toggle and push-to-talk; left/right modifier distinction
- Optional voice commands; Silero neural VAD with amplitude fallback
- No usage telemetry in the installed app
- GPL-3.0; marketing version string is tracked in site package/version surfaces
- Website is Next.js marketing + SEO guides (static export)
Brand commitments
- Name: Vocalinux (also part of the "Voca" family with VocaMac / VocaWin)
- Mark: microphone logo assets under
public/ - Emerald accent in the project green family (not purple SaaS defaults)
- Voice: practical, specific, Linux-native; not hype-first SaaS copy
Evidence on hand
- Real app screenshots in
public/screenshots/ - Install/uninstall commands pointing at GitHub raw install scripts
- JSON-LD on the home page (software application, FAQ, how-to)

Product principles
- Privacy is default: local engines process audio on-device; remote only when the user opts in.
- Ship the install path and real desktop proof, not abstract feature theater.
- Stay honest about engines, hardware, and what runs offline vs remote.
- Prefer Linux craft and clarity over generic AI-startup marketing patterns.
Accessibility
- Respect
prefers-reduced-motion - Body text contrast at least 4.5:1; large text at least 3:1
