v0.3.0 "try it, then talk to us"
May 20, 2026
The home page now matches the editorial design system end to end. The autonomy throttle is a real draggable fader. The WhatsApp chat lets you actually send a message and see the kompa reply. Plus a stack of polish details across hero, pricing and footer.
New
- Interactive chat — type a message in the WhatsApp mockup at the top of the home and Kompa replies in under 1.5 seconds. Saying "yes" or "ok" triggers a different reply than anything else.
- Draggable autonomy throttle — the dark vertical fader in the "How autonomous?" section is now real. Drag the handle, click any level on either side, or use Arrow keys. The fill grows smoothly and snaps to one of four levels on release.
- Hero mustard halo behind the phone + −1.5deg phone lean + styled "→ type 'yes' below" hint with offset shadow.
- Pricing dark price box now has a slow-rotating mustard halo behind the number — warm, alive.
- Pullquote section gains giant decorative quote marks bleeding from the corners.
- Sector grid (the 12 cards near the bottom) gets alternating warm/neutral row backgrounds + hover lift with coral border.
- Step cards (the "how it works" three-step) restyled: middle card highlighted with warm bg + coral top stripe; example bubbles get a yellow sticker dot.
- Testimonial cards rotate ever so slightly (0.5deg / -0.4deg) — feels editorial, not template-stiff.
- Marquee scaled up to match the source (42px serif italic, 32s scroll).
Updated
- Top ribbon center tagline kept the serif italic mostaza treatment from the source.
- Every animation now respects `prefers-reduced-motion`: marquee freezes, throttle snap is instant, chat reply is instant, card hovers don't lift. Functionality stays intact.
- Chat bubbles fade in one by one on first load (staggered 0.3s → 4.2s); typing indicator shows between bubbles 4 and 5.
Fixed
- No production bugs in this release. This is a polish + interactivity sprint.
Until this release the home page looked simpler than every other page on the site — because it was. The previous sprint deliberately put the home off-limits to keep scope tight; this one closes that gap.
Three things visibly change:
-
The chat works. You can actually type a message into the WhatsApp mockup at the top and see Kompa reply. Try “yes” and watch what happens — it’s a different reply than if you write anything else.
-
The throttle works. The autonomy slider in the “How autonomous?” section is now draggable. You can grab the handle, click any of the four levels on either side, or use keyboard arrows. It updates the percentage live and snaps to the nearest level when you let go.
-
The polish lands. Hero phone tilts slightly with a mustard halo behind it. The pricing price box has a slow-rotating warm glow. The pullquote section has those giant editorial quote marks. Cards lift on hover. The marquee scrolls at the right scale. Everything respects “reduce motion” if you have it on.
No changes to copy, no changes to pricing, no changes to anything you have to learn. Just the home looking and behaving the way it was always meant to.
