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	11e991e54a	fix: German copy says Interfaces, not Oberflächen "Oberflächen" reads like kitchen worktops, not like user interfaces. The German texts now use "Interface" throughout, and the German share image is rendered again because it shows the hero lead.

It is still rendered from the real hero, so it cannot drift from the site, but now as light type on the dark surface with a lit frame and binary digits coming off its edge. The digits are seeded, so every run gives the same picture. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-04 15:53:01 +02:00
mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5	ca0eddfde8	feat: a shorter page on phones On a phone the homepage was about 29 screens long; it is now about 22. The desktop layout is unchanged to the pixel. Lists of equal items (automation notes, project fit, principles, reasons for a web presentation, by hand vs. automated) are swiped through side by side (SwipeRow) instead of stacked. The four service cards form a compact 2x2 grid, step lists spell out only the current step, the workflow legend and the per-project task lists are left out, and sections use less padding.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5	5b037d7e0c	ci: smoke test checks the addresses of both languages Since the German version the legal pages live at /impressum and /datenschutz and under /en/imprint and /en/privacy. The smoke test still expected /imprint and /privacy to answer 200 and /impressum to redirect, so it has been red on every deploy while the site was fine. A check that is always red no longer shows a real outage. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-04 15:50:26 +02:00

The main drawing shows the same presentation as a slide and as a web page on a projector, a laptop and a phone; the slide keeps its format and shrinks, the page rearranges. Four small drawings stand next to the reasons. No prices: none are agreed for this yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-04 14:58:35 +02:00
mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5	666b1d7547	fix: hero digits are readable on phones On a phone the headline was built from 4px cells and the background field kept its desktop ink, so the digits were specks or not visible at all. The headline now uses cells of at least 6px there, and the background digits are larger and stronger below 640px. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-10-04 14:58:35 +02:00
mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5	60f094a754	fix: quiet sparks instead of dashed rings around the automation panel The pulsing dashed rings around the example workflow read as a second, broken frame. The panel now sheds a few digits at its left edge like the other frames on light backgrounds, and the ring motion, which nothing else used, is removed from BitAura.

mmintelandClaude Opus 5.5	f04e8c8463	feat: contact address with a sheen and a light on its underline The address is the one thing to act on in the contact section, but it was a plain underlined line next to a glowing message card.
