Draft — hold until `@openparachute/lens` is live and landing PR merges. Keeps blog content in sync with landing copy.

Summary

Two changes to blog/drafts/2026-04-23-parachute-is-here.md:

  1. Notes → Lens rename in subtitle, description, install commands (`parachute install lens`), section heading, body copy, URL shape (`/lens`), and architecture diagram.
  2. Substantive fix — ex-Daily migration sentence: dropped the claim that `parachute migrate` archives Daily data. Verified against parachute-cli/src/commands/migrate.ts — that command sweeps ~/.parachute/ cruft, not Flutter app-support dirs where Daily stored its data. Replaced with the accurate story: Daily already synced to the vault, so installing Lens and pointing it at the same vault picks up where Daily left off.

Test plan

  • Wait for `@openparachute/lens` npm publish (Aaron)
  • Flip out of draft
  • npx @11ty/eleventy --serve — preview at /blog/drafts/... URL looks right
  • On launch day: move file from blog/drafts/blog/ and it auto-publishes via posts collection

Same launch-day rename as the landing page and the wider cross-repo
sweep the lens + cli stewards are doing today. Product references
updated; data-type references ("notes, tags, links", "your notes"
in the principles) left alone.

Changes:
- Subtitle + description frontmatter
- Section heading and body copy for the web client
- CLI install commands: `parachute install notes` → `parachute install lens`
- URL-shape code block: `/notes` → `/lens`
- Architecture diagram label

Also fixed one substantive accuracy issue the rename exposed. The
previous draft told ex-Daily users to run `parachute migrate` to
archive their Daily data cleanly. That's wrong — `parachute migrate`
is a general cruft sweep at `~/.parachute/`, and Parachute Daily
(a Flutter app) stored data in its own app-support directory, not
there. Daily already synced into a vault; the honest story is that
a returning Daily user's notes are already in their vault — just
install Lens and point it at the same one.

Also tightened "five-minute walkthrough" to "install walkthrough"
since the landing has the install one-liner, not a timed tour.

Still in `blog/drafts/` — moves to `blog/` on launch day to publish.
