Adopts the visual feel of Pascal's prototype while keeping Furtka's
voice, brand palette, and bilingual structure intact.
What changed
- Three.js wireframe torus-knot behind the hero, color/opacity tied
to the existing --accent / --scene-opacity CSS vars so light and
dark modes both work without a scene re-init.
- Scroll-driven camera zoom + core scale + tilt; canvas opacity fades
past hero so feature cards stay readable.
- GSAP + ScrollTrigger reveal hero on load and stagger feature cards
in as they enter the viewport. Lenis smooths scroll.
- "What works today" / "What's coming next" lists move from markdown
bullets into front-matter arrays and render as scroll-reveal cards
(7 + 4 cards, EN/DE parallel; copy is 1:1 from the original lists).
- Hero scaled up: gradient text on the wordmark (fg → accent),
drop-shadow glow in dark mode, brighter lede color.
- Primary CTA -> /releases listing on Forgejo (Forgejo has no
/releases/latest), with a pulsing glow + arrow slide on hover.
- Version bump 26.8-alpha -> 26.15-alpha to match the actual release.
Performance / a11y
- Vendor JS (Three.js r128, GSAP 3.12.2 + ScrollTrigger, Lenis 1.0.33)
vendored locally under assets/js/vendor/ - no third-party CDN at
runtime. ~728 KB total, fingerprinted via Hugo's pipeline with SRI.
- Canvas + scripts gated to homepage only ({{ if .IsHome }}); the
Impressum/Datenschutz pages stay plain.
- prefers-reduced-motion: scene + GSAP early-return, CSS forces cards
to their resting state. No-JS users see all content.
- All scripts deferred so first paint isn't blocked.

Hugo static site with an intentionally minimal single-page copy — English
default, German under /de/ — while the project stays pre-alpha. No CMS, no
external theme, no webfonts, no external requests. System-UI sans on a
paper-white / near-black palette with a deep crimson accent; a small
wicket-gate SVG as the sole brand mark.
Hosting: nginx on forge-runner-01 serves /var/www/furtka.org; the upstream
openresty proxy terminates TLS so the VM itself only speaks plain HTTP.
Deploy is ./website/deploy.sh (rsync + remote hugo --minify). One-time VM
bootstrap in ops/nginx/setup-vm.sh.
