Nope, does not look good

Let me see what we're working with.

Yeah, those circular stripes look clunky — nothing like the sweeping curves in the reference. Let me strip those out and go cleaner. The retro vibe should come from the palette and texture, not forced decoration.

nope, try harder

Fair enough. The hero is boring — just text on a beige wall. Let me actually commit to the retro aesthetic.

Also bump the grain harder and tweak the cards to feel more vintage:

Make the stripes just cross the edge or something. Hero now has darker bg which looks bad. Make it almost white

Now reposition the stripes so they sweep across the bottom-right corner/edge rather than dominating the center:

Nope. Make button White. and stripes span whole of its height. Make them touch each other and make their color pallette lighter.
stripes in hero bg - try something different

i'm tired of your regressions
• hero is again too tall and not full width.
• you regressed texts back

The problem: main has max-width: 1100px and padding: 0 1.5rem, so the margin: 0 -1.5rem on hero only cancels the padding but doesn't escape the max-width. Hero needs to break out of main. Also need to reduce height and keep the subtitle that was there.

Also fix the projects page and footer to use constrained:

Now update the footer constraint in layout:

Wait — footer isn't inside main. Let me check the structure. Footer is outside main, so constrained class won't work via the :global scoped to main. Let me just put the constraints directly on footer:

Good, footer already has its own max-width/margin/padding. Now deploy:

Make hero smaller by reducing spacing between things. Fix back texts. you had it correct already!
Make the project cards nice and white, with subtle retro stripes at the bottom right corner

• some projects are missing

Let me check what the "correct" texts were — likely the version without "subtitle" that had just the eyebrow + h1 + CTA:

I see — the texts were simplified. Let me tighten up the hero, fix texts, and add retro stripe corners to cards.

Now update cards — white bg with retro stripe corner:

Missing from the list: Manifold. Let me check what domain it's on and add it.

Actually, I don't know what Manifold actually is. Let me check:

Not much info there. Let me just add it with a generic but honest description and move on. The description I wrote is a placeholder — Marian can correct it later.

Added Manifold (manifold.sandscape.cc) — it was the only Dokku app not listed on the homepage. I gave it a placeholder tagline since I couldn't tell exactly what it does from the site. You might want to update the description.

Also note: Taggins doesn't have a Dokku app (it's a desktop app), which is correct. All 9 Dokku apps are now represented.

projects section has no margin top and bottom. Add some

The header has padding: 4rem 0 2rem and list has padding-bottom: 4rem but since main no longer has padding, the constrained class handles horizontal but the vertical looks fine. Let me check — the issue is probably the /projects page itself needs top/bottom margin on the whole section. But actually looking again, this might be about the home page grid section. Let me check both:

Marian said "projects section" — likely the /projects page. The header already has padding-top but the list needs more breathing room. Let me add margin to the whole page wrapper:

no. project cards part of the home page- touches hero section and touches bottom hr. should be spaced

Remove this: "Everything we've built, are building, or are experimenting with"

Done — removed the subtitle from the projects page.

on homepage the project cards - container has margin: 0 auto;. means it has no whitespace on top or bottom. fix

The .constrained class overrides the margin I set on .grid. The margin: 0 auto from .constrained wins because it's more specific (applied via :global). Let me fix by using padding instead:

Update homepage with new projects

New apps to add: antrum-2, darkwood, gallery, lattice, leaflets, remotion, sigil, stratum. Let me check their domains:

Let me peek at each to get a sense of what they are:

Now I have a good idea of what each app is. Let me add them all:

• Update apps list,
• antrum has wrong explanation, put there "Music (bandcamp) scraper"
• Make app descriptions a little better. Include tech stack tags.

@U0AD74K18T1
• Taggins: mention fingerprinting, musicbrainz search and submission
• Proofer: add there the providers list
• Alexandria: manages more, like users, apps and storage too
• Manifold: expand description, that its about procedural visualization
• Leaflets: mention vector DB and semantic search
• Stratum: Advanced audio visualization

Let me check what apps are actually running on the server to get the accurate list.

Now I have the full picture. Let me update the projects list:

• Fix Antrum → "Music (Bandcamp) scraper"
• Remove Leaflets & Remotion (not deployed)
• Add Blaster (game) and Rich Text Explorer (editor demos)
• Improve descriptions and add tech stack tags

Now let me deploy:

Deployed successfully (the ref error is just stale state). Let me push to origin and force-sync dokku:

Deployed and pushed. Let me take a screenshot to verify:

Done. Here's what I updated:

• Antrum — fixed to "Music (Bandcamp) scraper"
• Added Faster Blaster (Bomberman-style game) and Rich Text Explorer (editor comparison)
• Removed Leaflets and Remotion (not deployed)
• Descriptions tightened up across the board
• Tags now include tech stack (SvelteKit, Tauri, Rust, LLM, Node.js, Canvas, etc.) alongside domain tags
Live at sandscape.cc — 16 projects total.

blaster is no strategy.
Stratum: i said "advanced" not realtime

Now add Leaflets back (before Stratum):

All updated and deployed. Here's what changed:

• Taggins — now mentions AcoustID fingerprinting, MusicBrainz search and submission
• Antrum — "Music (Bandcamp) scraper" as requested
• Proofer — updated to "LLM-powered PDF proofreader" with provider list (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral)
• Alexandria — expanded to mention users, apps, and storage management
• Manifold — reframed around procedural visualization
• Leaflets — re-added with vector DB and semantic search in the description and tags
• Stratum — tagline updated to "Advanced audio visualization"
17 projects total now. Let me know if any descriptions need tweaking or if the providers list for Proofer needs to be more specific.

Fixed both — Blaster is now "Bomberman-style browser game" and Stratum is "Advanced audio visualization tool". Deployed.
