Redesign landing page with native app focus and expanded content#73

Conversation
Restructure the single-hero site into a scrolling page: centered hero with badge row (open source / MIT / signed & notarized) and framed screenshot, a six-card feature grid, a native split section, privacy cards, numbered install steps, and a fuller footer. Body type moves from Space Mono to a system sans for the cleaner native-app look while keeping the dark palette, pixel wordmark, and ice/hot accents.

Remove the "Built for macOS, not ported to it" split section and the "Private by design" cards, along with their nav link and now-unused split/checklist/section-lede styles. The page now flows hero → features → install. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013mTvMH8wN7yfTntjQZhDF4
Remove the "Up and running in a minute" steps, the repeated download CTA, and the Install nav link, along with the now-unused steps and code/kbd styles. The page is now hero → features → footer.

The h2 max-width of 24ch was forcing "Everything you need to stop typing" onto two balanced lines; 36ch lets it fit on one at desktop widths while still wrapping sanely on small screens.

Replace the six feature cards with zero dependencies, no telemetry, native Mac app, accurate transcription, 18 languages, and real synth cues; speed and paste-anywhere fold into the accurate/native copy.

Swap the marketing superlatives for concrete, verifiable claims: the hero now says what Blurt is and how it works (one HTTPS call, no local models, no subscription, BYO key), the section heading is a dry "The details", and each feature card states a checkable fact about the repo rather than a slogan. Meta and JSON-LD descriptions updated to match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013mTvMH8wN7yfTntjQZhDF4
Trim the technical detail out of the hero and feature cards — no more CGEventTap, Sync STT, or round-trip talk — in favor of plain one-or-two-sentence claims. Update the requirements line and JSON-LD operatingSystem from macOS 26 to macOS 15.

Borrow the register that worked for Handy, Whispering, and VoiceInk: a blunt free/open-source category statement in the hero, trust-first framing (read the code, one server, pay the provider directly, no subscription/account/middleman), a "No subscription" badge, and a "Dictation you can trust" section heading. Meta and JSON-LD descriptions updated to match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013mTvMH8wN7yfTntjQZhDF4

The accuracy card now links the claim to AssemblyAI's published benchmarks page instead of asserting accuracy unsourced. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013mTvMH8wN7yfTntjQZhDF4
Bring the README's tagline, lede, badges, and Why Blurt list in line with the site: free/open-source framing, the trust-first feature set (zero dependencies, no telemetry, native app), the sourced 30% fewer hallucinations-than-Whisper benchmark link, mid-sentence code switching, and the macOS 15+ requirement.
