new ipfs website for 2026

2color added 30 commits May 6, 2026 20:56
- replace static dot pattern with deterministic mesh of jittered nodes
  and nearest-neighbor edges so the hero conveys "content addressing"
  visually rather than as decoration
- mask the mesh near the headline anchor to keep copy legible while
  preserving density at the edges
- seed the PRNG and render at build time to avoid client-side cost
  and layout shift across builds
- replace the placeholder logomark with the official IPFS symbol;
  add a mono variant so the footer can render it on the dark
  background without recoloring the full-color version
- default Nav to the color logomark by dropping the override
- add @fontsource/commit-mono and point --font-mono at it so all
  code, CIDs, eyebrow labels, and terminal-style content render in
  a neutral, readable monospace
- reserve Departure Mono via a new --font-display-mono token and
  .mono-display class; its single-weight pixel face was being
  artificially bolded everywhere it appeared
- switch IPFS wordmarks (Nav, Footer), hero tagline highlight, and
  the two $ install CTAs to .mono-display so Departure stays a
  display accent rather than the default mono
- extend the mono selector to pre/kbd/samp so future code blocks
  inherit the workhorse face automatically
- introduce Community.astro with two-row photo ribbon
- pull from 12 of 20 community photos for variety
- make rows horizontally swipeable on mobile with snap
- wire section into index between constellation and get started

Why: surface the public/open nature of the project and give
visitors a tangible sense of the community before the CTA.
- remove standalone Community section and fold its photo ribbon
  into the navy Get Started block so the page ends on one CTA
- expand CTA grid with Newsletter and YouTube cards; switch to
  responsive auto-fit layout to handle the extra cards
- swap em-dash asides for periods/commas across copy to match
  the house style
- replace community-26.jpg with community-19.jpg in the assets
- split out Open science with ORCESTRA and GainForest so the
  research story has its own home instead of riding inside
  Resilient web publishing and Open social
- replace the GainForest entry in Open social with atproto and
  Seed Hypermedia, so the social section shows the protocol the
  framing already calls out plus a hypermedia-document example
- update the section lede from four jobs to five to match the
  new category count
- Drop the generic Astro minimal-template boilerplate that no
  longer reflects what this repo actually is
- Describe the site as the IPFS marketing site and document the
  real src/ layout (components, data, layouts, pages, styles)
- Note the Node >=22.12.0 engine requirement so contributors
  don't hit version mismatches
- introduce ThreePillars section breaking IPFS into addressing,
  discovery, and transfer; clarifies the technical decomposition
  beyond the higher-level Foundations commitments
- add Tools section with job-to-be-done filter; surfaces Kubo,
  Helia, iroh-blobs, Omnipin, ipfs-deploy-action, and gateways so
  visitors can find tooling by what they're trying to do
- replace synthetic Helia snippets in WorksEverywhere with
  patterns adapted from ipfs-examples/helia-101 and link back to
  each source file, so demos match real, runnable examples
- list Matadisco under Discovery so atproto-based dataset
  discovery shows up alongside DHT and indexer-based routing
- point radicle-artifact at its Radicle repo node URL instead of
  the project landing page so visitors land on the source
- add hrefs to Nav, Footer, and use-case story cards that were rendered as dead anchors
- give Constellation's active-node label a real URL (skip placeholder)
- add section ids (#tools, #community, #usecases) so internal nav anchors resolve
- store full URLs alongside display strings in stories data so cards link to source case studies

Without these, the primary navigation and most case-study cards did nothing on click.
- replace the Stargate card with the HIN (Vereign) Swiss healthcare messaging case — a stronger fit for the "resilient publishing" framing, with concrete scale (700k messages/month) and a clear no-central-database story
- Make each community CTA a single clickable card with hover affordance
- Drop the redundant arrow+URL line and secondary link list that made
  card heights uneven
- Split the dual-link Chat card into separate Discord (Matrix hidden
  for now so the row fits five tiles)
- Point YouTube at the actual @ipfsbot channel
- Render community ribbon photos in colour; grayscale read as somber
  for a "by the community" section
- Remove eyebrow labels on Foundations, ThreePillars, Tools, UseCases,
  and GetStarted: the titles carry the section identity and the eyebrows
  added visual noise without new information
- Recolor "a Better Web" from teal to yellow; the teal accent vanished
  against the teal/navy hero gradient, so the headline lost its anchor
- Drop the underline and trailing period; the colour shift alone is
  enough emphasis and the period read as a hard stop on the tagline
- Remove install CTA from top nav; install path lives in docs and
  was crowding the bar alongside the github link
- Drop placeholder CID from footer bottom bar so the line stops
  reading like unfinished copy
- Add Bluesky link to footer Community column to surface the
  ipfs.tech profile alongside GitHub and Discuss
- Reword use-cases lede to emphasise broad applicability of
  content addressing instead of the narrow "five jobs" framing
- Point atproto case study link at the data-model spec section
  on CID formats, which is the actual evidence for the claim
- Add SocialProof section after hero: muted brand logo strip plus a
  prominent testimonials grid, surfacing proof high on the page
- Consolidate use-case quotes into that band so testimonials read as
  one prominent block instead of being buried in story cards
- Drop the "Works everywhere" tab; the first section now states two
  commitments, with a new transport fan-out diagram and RASL emphasis
- Move the runtime code examples into the three pillars so each job
  (addressing, discovery, transfer) shows its call
- Make testimonials a single horizontal row with prev/next arrows and
  tighter spacing, so the section takes less vertical space
- Add the Vereign testimonial to the HIN case, the deployment it speaks to
- Drop the per-pillar code blocks from addressing/discovery/transfer to
  keep that section focused on the concepts
- Remove fileName state and file icon input from FileDropCID
- Drop outer borders from all three island components
- Simplify result/status divs in LocationVsContent
- Switch TransportRoutes lanes to left-border row style
It doesn't really map web to discovery because it's not pointing
to content addressed metadata
- Preload Geist Sans 400 and Geist Pixel Circle woff2 files
- Uses ?url imports so Astro resolves hashed paths at build time
