The rail and the "next, you are wondering" links are gone (owner: flat, and
the question stood twice in a row). The page now reads from top to bottom:
Every chapter opens with one sentence, and the sentences follow each other
as the way of a project: you need someone who builds it, first we find out
what you need, sometimes it is less work by hand, sometimes a meeting, then
it always runs the same way, in the end something runs, a few questions
remain, and it starts with an email.
One line runs down the whole page and draws itself as the visitor scrolls.
Under each sentence it crosses the page, stands a figure on the line
(diamond, hexagon, screen, circle, square, triangle) and continues down the
other side; a glowing dot travels at its head and comes to rest in front of
the last sentence.

The page was a row of sections to scroll past, and a film in one of them did
not change that. It now follows the questions a visitor has, in the order
they come up: who is this, can he do what I need, what does it look like,
what else, how does it go, has he done it, what is open, how do I start.
Each chapter ends by asking the next question as a large link that leads on,
and the next chapter answers it. A rail at the edge shows every chapter as a
station with a dot travelling along it (on phones: a pill with the current
chapter and one tap to the next), and the header names the current question.
Where the visitor is, is pure logic in src/domain/chapters.ts. The scroll
film section and the bridge sentences are removed.

The homepage was too long and read as a list of sections. The technical
ones (project fit, tools, how a change is secured) move to a page of their
own, /freelance and /en/freelance, linked from the header, the footer and a
pointer on the homepage. The rest is reordered into one story (who, what you
need, examples, how working together goes, results, questions, contact) and
each section opens with a sentence that leads over from the one before.
routes.ts: a page may now have the same name in both languages. Before,
/en/<german name> was always moved to the English name, which for such a
page would have redirected the address onto itself.
Design: list titles such as "Passt gut" are real headings instead of small
grey labels. The automation examples, their description and the run are one
box, so it is clear they belong together. Digits on light backgrounds are
the blue of the panels instead of black. The square corner marks on the
rounded service cards are gone. The years in the career line are readable.

The site now exists in German (at the root, with /impressum and /datenschutz)
and English (/en). A request without a language follows the visitor's choice
from the language switch, then the browser language, then German; the old
English legal addresses move to /en for good.
All visible texts are data in src/content/de.ts and en.ts, so components hold
none of their own. The header carries a DE/EN switch whose bit curtain covers
the page while it is swapped and reopens at the same reading position. Title,
description, canonical, hreflang, Open Graph, the share image, the sitemap and
the structured data are per language. The privacy notice now describes the
cookie that remembers the chosen language.

Dark surfaces now carry light: frames glow along their edge and shed binary
digits (BitAura), dark sections open with a lit seam (BitSeam), the career
path is a line of light and "My work" became a dark stage. Buttons carry a
travelling light and a spot that follows the pointer (BitGlow).

Section headlines are written out behind a column of digits, mono labels
resolve from binary, the portrait assembles itself from bits, section indexes
rattle and keep one bit alive, cards get corner marks, the header shows the
scroll position as an eight-bit number, pressed links and buttons shed a few
digits, and the work stage leans towards the pointer. All effects respect
reduced motion and leave the content readable without JavaScript.

The site now presents one freelance developer on one page: hero, introduction,
four typical cases (developer for a product, make an app reliable, automate a
process, a website) with what you get, how it runs and what it costs, a
process automation section, technology and project fit, how I work, two live
references, questions and contact.
- Hero and closing headline are drawn from running binary digits.
- Each case explains its four steps with an animated drawing; the automation
section shows example workflows with work travelling between systems; a
pipeline run shows what a test catches before a release.
- Contact is one email address, kept in parts and assembled in the browser so
it never appears in the page source (src/domain/email.ts, spec first).
- Imprint and privacy pages added.
- The old site (blog, case studies, contact form, fixed-price pages, video
rendering and related scripts) is removed. Its URLs redirect to the homepage.
- The deploy smoke test checks the legal pages and the redirects instead of
the removed case study.
- Dev scripts use docker compose v2.

Adds dark design tokens, Inter + JetBrains Mono, a header with Notes,
Process, About and a Book a call button, and a footer with the availability
line driven by the tested domain core. Shared primitives live in
src/components/site, site constants in src/content/site.ts. Legacy pages
(blog, legal, contact, tags, technologies) keep a light surface via
LegacyLightSurface. Stub routes for /notes, /process and /book.
