mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 af66f61c26 feat: care offer for websites, with its price and its limits
What happens after a website is live was one vague sentence about a monthly
fee to be agreed. It is now one clear offer in the website case and in the
questions: 89 EUR per month, cancel monthly, the site runs on servers in
Germany, small changes by email are included, no editing system and no login.
The limits are said as plainly as what is included: the first three months
are part of the project price, anything bigger gets a price first, replies
within two working days, no on-call, and the client can leave with everything.

The decision and the parts that are not on the website (the larger variant,
CMS as an exception, how the sites are served) are in the concept.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 1b6a96225e feat: the homepage speaks to people who commission a result
Owner: the homepage is for people who need a website or process automation
and have no app of their own; companies that book by the hour belong on the
freelance page.

Homepage: two cases instead of three (automation, website). The price box
with its steps and figures is replaced by one box: you get an offer before
anything costs money. No rates or weekly prices there any more.

Freelance page: gets the developer case and "make an app reliable" with
their steps and prices, and the section on how working together goes.

Headlines the owner called unclear are rewritten: the automation section
("Your tools do the routine work. Nobody retypes anything.") and the
working section ("How working together goes. Direct and easy to follow.").

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 f0c25b802b feat: drawings in circuit style, visible hero digits, hourly booking only on the freelance page
Drawings: "How I work" and the step drawings under "How it runs" now use
the same language as the story thread. Systems and people are chips with
pins, connections are tracks with 45 degree bends and solder points, and
what travels is a bit instead of a round dot (circuit.tsx).

Hero: the digits in the background were close to invisible on white. They
are about twice as strong now, and the ones near the pointer light up indigo.

Homepage vs. freelance page: the homepage is for clients who buy a result,
so it shows three cases. The developer case (100 EUR per hour, booked by the
month) and its steps live on the freelance page only.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 affd4b7ee7 feat: the story thread looks like a track on a circuit board
Owner: the direction is right, but a smooth line is not developer style;
everything else on the site is binary. The thread is now a trace: straight
runs with 45 degree bends, solder points where it bends or meets a figure, a
second fainter track beside it, figures as components (pins on the
rectangular ones, the chapter number in binary inside), and a bit that flips
between 1 and 0 as it travels at the head.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 3e0c9a1605 feat: a red thread through the homepage, in words and as a line
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.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 90120b60db feat: the homepage leads the visitor through as one story
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.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 e6f00cbbb6 Merge feat/scroll-film: scroll film, estimates, monthly booking, and the releases up to v2.5.0
Local main had only the video work; this brings in everything released since
(freelance page, story order, phone layout, share image) plus the two
unreleased commits, so the local site shows the current state.

Also fixes the pre-commit hook for this checkout: ESLint walked into the
worktrees under .claude/worktrees and found several tsconfig roots, so every
commit from here failed. The worktrees are now ignored and the parser has a
fixed tsconfig root.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 f50bb553e8 feat: the automation chapter opens with a scroll film
The homepage read as sections to scroll past. The automation chapter now
opens the way the social media films do: one continuous shot on a dark
stage that stays in place while the visitor scrolls. Scrolling moves the
camera (close on a dot hopping between two squares, pull back to a whole
office carrying things from tool to tool, freeze, lines take over) and
changes the statement; a second clock keeps the dots moving when the
visitor stops. The statements are the approved ones from the film.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 4bfbcbcacd feat: video films for social media, with the skill to make more
Adds apps/video, a standalone Remotion package (not part of the pnpm
workspace, so it never reaches the web build or the Docker image). It
renders six looping films, one per service, in German and English, as
4:5 for LinkedIn and 16:9 for YouTube and ads, together with the text
to post and an overview page.

Each film is one continuous shot: close on something abstract, the
camera pulls back to show what it really is, the form changes, and the
picture folds back into its opening. The slide deck code from the
earlier attempts is still in the package and no longer used.

Also adds the Google Ads concept, brings the relaunch concept in line
with the site as built, and a project skill that describes how to make
further films.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 c70833a725 feat: freelance page, a story on the homepage, and design fixes
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.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 75993100fa feat: German as the main language, English under /en, with a language switch
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.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 dc4a01cbe4 feat: binary micro-interactions across the page
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 link preview used an old template with a blog description. The share
image is now a screenshot of the real hero (scripts/render-share-image.mjs),
served as Open Graph and Twitter image. Title and description come from one
place and are used by the page, the previews and the structured data. Adds an
apple touch icon and removes the old share-image template and its fonts.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5 fa40fefe2f feat: rebuild mintel.me as a single-page freelance site
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.

mmintelandClaude Sonnet 5.5 d33a5d6c63 chore: enable TypeScript strict mode and drop dead Payload scripts
The shared base tsconfig had strict off, so null-safety and union narrowing
were not checked. Strict is now on for apps/web with 5 small typing fixes.
check-db.ts and migrate-drafts.js depended on Payload, which is no longer a
dependency, and are removed. CLAUDE.md no longer claims Payload.

mmintelandClaude Sonnet 5.5 6e5d14882e chore: add agent guardrails (CLAUDE.md, stop hook, permissions, git hooks)
CLAUDE.md documents commands, the spec-first workflow, the functional-core
rule and a do-not list. A Claude Code Stop hook blocks finishing while
typecheck or unit tests fail. Permissions deny reading env files, hook
bypass flags, hard resets and recursive deletes, and ask before CI edits
or any push. Husky pre-commit now also typechecks and runs unit tests;
pre-push runs coverage and the mutation gate when src/domain changed.
