Simplify and rebuild the landing page for launch — screenshot-free, typography-led, premium (Linear/Things register).

What changed

  • Hero: single-line "One key per app." title + one subtitle (2 tiers, no wrapping to two words per line). A pure-CSS motif (Hyper + C keycap → Browser · 2 / 4 HUD chip) replaces the old animated window demo — no screenshots, no illustrations. Actions: Download for macOS + View on GitHub (Mac App Store removed until it's live). Transparent navbar.
  • How it works: 3 steps, each with a tiny CSS UI motif (keycaps, active square, HUD chip).
  • Power features / install: clean typographic rows; FAQ with FAQPage structured data.
  • Removed all raster illustrations, the live-demo JS, and stray brand-glow; visuals are the product's own vocabulary drawn in CSS.
  • Added robots.txt + sitemap.xml; refreshed OG image; PRODUCT.md refocused on the landing page.

Scope

Web-only (web/** + PRODUCT.md). No Swift/app changes, so the app quality gate (swift build / cycler-tests) is unaffected.

Test plan

  • Served locally and reviewed in-browser at desktop widths.
  • Lighthouse (desktop + mobile): Best Practices / SEO / Agentic 100, Accessibility 95 (the single note is white-on-vivid-orange CTA contrast — a deliberate brand trade-off).
  • No broken asset references (all illus-* removed and unreferenced).

Rebuild the landing page as a simple, screenshot-free, typography-led page
(Linear/Things register): near-black canvas, surgical orange, system SF.

- Hero: single-line "One key per app." title + one subtitle, a pure-CSS
  keycap + HUD-chip motif (no live demo, no screenshots), Download for macOS
  and View on GitHub actions, transparent navbar.
- How it works: 3 steps with tiny CSS UI motifs; power features and install
  as clean typographic rows; FAQ with FAQPage schema.
- All raster illustrations and the animated window demo removed; visuals are
  the product's own vocabulary (keycaps, HUD chip, mono shortcuts) in CSS.
- Refreshed OG image.

Verified in-browser: Lighthouse Best Practices / SEO / Agentic 100, A11y 95.

Basic crawl/index hints for launch: allow all, point at the sitemap,
single-URL sitemap for cycler.caiano.com.

Switch the register to brand and rewrite users/purpose/personality around the
launch landing page, so design work stays on-brief.
