Website — Tasks

Read at session start. Update statuses here as work moves. Edit only this file. The Obsidian Git plugin syncs it; the Ops Dashboard renders it.

• WEB-1 Draft homepage copy: problem-first, human, $75M raised as a headline proof point (Acuity Lab + WUNDOR as tone guides) — ready · owner: JC
• WEB-2 Map the site structure (pages, sections, CTAs) before design — ready · owner: JC
• WEB-3 DNS records + Resend domain verification — done · Resend domain verified
• WEB-4 noreply@kindredros.com sending — done · enabled by domain verification (FROM already set in email.ts)
• WEB-5 Platform decision — waiting-on-kevin · owner: Ben. REVERSED 2026-06-02 (Ben): go Fly-hosted, Claude-managed, not Squarespace. Read-only account check confirmed kindredros.com is Squarespace 7.1 (no code deploy) on the Personal plan ($192/yr, renews Mar 17 2027); the custom Acuity/WUNDOR look would need a Business upgrade (~$276/yr) and still no dialogic build. Decision is to build the site as code, deploy to Fly, repoint DNS (domain stays at Squarespace, email records untouched), and let the Squarespace plan lapse at renewal. Rationale + sunk-cost diagnosis: Ben note 2026-06-02 1927 Website Hosting Reversal. The one thing to confirm with Kevin: he is OK trading click-to-edit for the Claude-driven build (the real tradeoff, not the money).
• WEB-6 Visual redesign direction + mockups (minimal, copy-led) — in-progress · owner: JC · direction drafted at kindredros-website/design/redesign-direction.md; the live preview at https://kindred-ros-web.fly.dev now IS the mockup (light, copy-led, full code build). Open questions answered with the brief's own recommended defaults (light+warm: yes; no stock imagery at launch; brand gold as the single accent over editorial black buttons; Fraunces + Inter type pairing). Still want Kevin's react on those four before locking.
• WEB-7 Build the marketing site as code in kindredros-website for Fly hosting — done (2026-06-03, JC/Claude) · all five pages built in site/public/ (Home, Product, Pricing, About, Book a demo) from WEB-1 copy + WEB-2 structure + WEB-6 direction. Old dark single-page build replaced with the light, copy-led redesign. Deployed to Fly app kindred-ros-web, live at https://kindred-ros-web.fly.dev. NOTE: working-tree changes are not yet committed to git (Ben/JC to commit). Open follow-up: the Book-a-demo form has no backend yet (TODO comment in demo.html for Ben to wire a scheduler or a POST to a real reply address, not noreply@). (Closed 2026-06-15 by WEB-10 — backend built and form wired, 19fd056.) The "not yet committed to git" note is also resolved: the WEB-7 redesign + WEB-10 backend are now on master (fast-forwarded web-7-redesign-build→master 2026-06-15).
• WEB-8 Deploy kindredros-website to Fly + repoint kindredros.com DNS (the @ A records and www CNAME) from Squarespace to Fly — done 2026-06-15 (DNS repointed; site live on kindredros.com) · owner: Ben · Fly-deploy half is DONE (live at https://kindred-ros-web.fly.dev). DNS repoint NOT done and NOT to be done by Claude (per JC). DNS still points at Squarespace, so the live site is the fly.dev URL only and kindredros.com is unchanged. LEAVE the MX + Resend send.*/resend._domainkey/_dmarc records untouched so email never blinks. Note: Fly already has unverified certs for kindredros.com + www (created earlier, inactive until DNS repoints). Repoint checklist delivered to Ben (2026-06-15 1145 DNS repoint checklist (Squarespace to Fly)): add domain + cert in Fly, swap the Squarespace @ A records and www CNAME for Fly's A/AAAA + www CNAME, and leave every email record (Google MX/DKIM/site-verification + Resend resend._domainkey/send.*/_dmarc) untouched. Get Kevin's quick hosting nod first (reversible). Ben executes. DONE 2026-06-15 — DNS repointed and the site is live on kindredros.com. Done at Ben's direction this session: Claude did the Fly side (allocated dedicated IPv4 137.66.11.253 on kindred-ros-web, resumed the app) and handed Ben the records; Ben entered the @+www A/AAAA in Squarespace himself (A→137.66.11.253, AAAA→2a09:8280:1::ed:9e11:0), so the "Claude doesn't touch Squarespace DNS" rule held. Both certs now Issued; verified live — kindredros.com and www.kindredros.com serve the Fly marketing build over HTTPS (HTTP 200, server: Fly, "Kindred rOS" in the body). Email records (Google MX/DKIM/site-verification + Resend resend._domainkey/send.*/_dmarc) left untouched — only the apex/www A/AAAA changed. Remaining downstream: Kevin's hosting nod (WEB-5, his after-the-fact call) and letting Squarespace lapse at the Mar 2027 renewal (WEB-9).
• WEB-10 Demo form backend (POST handler + Resend notification) — done 2026-06-15 (built + pushed to master 19fd056; deploy is Ben's gate) · owner: Claude Code. The Book-a-demo form is inert (action="#"). Spec in JC inbox 2026-06-15 1145 Demo form backend: give the static nginx site a tiny Node server (serve public/ + POST /api/demo), validate, honeypot anti-spam, send a Resend notification from noreply@ with Reply-To set to the submitter so Ben can reply directly, optional JSONL record on a volume. Front end posts via fetch and shows a calm thank-you state. Closes the WEB-7 demo-form TODO. DONE 2026-06-15 (19fd056, master; deploy Ben's gate): replaced the pure-nginx image with a tiny Hono + @hono/node-server container that serves public/ exactly as before and adds POST /api/demo — server-side validation (name/email/role; hardest optional), a hidden company honeypot (filled = silently accepted and dropped), and a Resend notify from Kindred rOS <noreply@kindredros.com> to jean-claude@kindredros.com with Reply-To set to the submitter. fly.toml internal_port 80→8080; reuses the existing RESEND_API_KEY Fly secret (no key in repo). Tested locally end to end: static serving, validation 400s, honeypot drop, and the Resend send path all pass. Optional JSONL-on-volume record skipped (a Fly volume is Ben's infra call; the email is the reliable path). LIVE 2026-06-15 — deployed to kindred-ros-web v38 and verified on kindredros.com: the node/Hono image is running (replaced the old nginx build), POST /api/demo responds (honeypot→{ok:true}, bad email→400), the demo form is wired (inert onsubmit gone), and a real end-to-end test submission returned 200 (Resend send succeeded → notification to jean-claude@ with Reply-To set). Home + www still 200.
• WEB-9 Let the Squarespace plan lapse at the Mar 2027 renewal — do NOT cancel mid-term; keep it serving until WEB-8 is live and DNS verified — ready · owner: Ben · depends WEB-8

Open

• Squarespace access resolved; DNS in; Resend domain verified. Email chain fully unblocked.
• Platform reversed to Fly-hosted / Claude-managed (WEB-5). Build as code → deploy to Fly → repoint DNS → let Squarespace lapse at renewal. Confirm with Kevin he accepts losing WYSIWYG self-edit; that is the only real tradeoff.

Updates

• 2026-06-15 (evening): Site is now live on kindredros.com, and the demo backend shipped. WEB-10 demo-form backend built and pushed to master (19fd056): a tiny Hono container serving public/ + POST /api/demo with server-side validation, a company honeypot, and a Resend notify with Reply-To to the submitter; closes the WEB-7 TODO. WEB-8 DNS repoint executed at Ben's direction — Claude did the Fly side (dedicated IPv4 137.66.11.253, app resumed) and handed Ben the records; Ben entered the @+www A/AAAA in Squarespace (the "Claude doesn't touch Squarespace DNS" rule held). Both certs Issued; kindredros.com + www verified serving the Fly build over HTTPS (HTTP 200, server: Fly). Email records untouched. The WEB-7 working tree is now committed on master (web-7-redesign-build fast-forwarded into master). Remaining: Kevin's hosting nod (WEB-5, his call) and the Squarespace lapse at the Mar 2027 renewal (WEB-9). Then deployed: found the live site was still the pre-WEB-10 nginx build (last deploy v37 predated the 20:12 push by ~5h), so redeployed kindred-ros-web → v38; WEB-10 is now live and verified on kindredros.com (/api/demo responding, form wired, an end-to-end test submission delivered to jean-claude@).
• 2026-06-15: Site images and stylized dividers created (Ben, via the asset engine) and are in site/public/ (home-hero, home-shift, divider-canopy, divider-leaf, etc.), so the no-imagery-at-launch default is superseded. Demo form backend specced for Claude Code (WEB-10, JC inbox 2026-06-15 1145). DNS repoint checklist delivered to Ben (WEB-8, inbox 2026-06-15 1145), grounded in the infra doc with the email records flagged untouchable. Remaining website work: build the demo backend (WEB-10), Ben's DNS repoint (WEB-8), and Kevin's quick hosting nod (WEB-5/WEB-6 react, he is back this week).
• 2026-06-03: WEB-7 built and deployed (JC/Claude), WEB-8 Fly half done. Replaced the old dark single-page build with the light, copy-led redesign as a full code build: five pages (Home, Product, Pricing, About, Book a demo) in site/public/, new warm-paper design system (Fraunces + Inter, brand gold accent over editorial black buttons, strategy-tier color scoped to the one section that needs it). Built straight from WEB-1 copy and WEB-2 structure; the live URL doubles as the WEB-6 mockup. Deployed to Fly app kindred-ros-web → https://kindred-ros-web.fly.dev (verified all routes 200, styling + fonts load). Per JC: did NOT touch kindredros.com DNS — that stays Ben's WEB-8 job; kindredros.com still serves Squarespace and email is untouched. Caught and fixed a file-permission bug (overwritten files came out 0600, which 403'd in nginx) before final deploy. Two open follow-ups: (1) working-tree changes are not committed to git yet; (2) the demo form needs a real backend (TODO left in demo.html).
• 2026-06-02: WEB-5 REVERSED (Ben). Verified via read-only account pass: Squarespace is 7.1 / Personal ($192/yr, renews Mar 17 2027), no code deploy, custom look needs a Business upgrade (~$276/yr). New direction: Fly-hosted, Claude-managed, DNS repointed, Squarespace left to lapse at renewal. Added WEB-7 (build for Fly), WEB-8 (deploy + DNS repoint, email records untouched), WEB-9 (let plan lapse, don't cancel mid-term). WEB-6 now targets a code build, not templates. Sunk-cost diagnosis in Ben note 2026-06-02 1927 Website Hosting Reversal. Attribution corrected: platform is Ben's ops call; Kevin to be made aware of the WYSIWYG tradeoff. Surfacing on the Friday talk track.
• 2026-06-02: WEB-6 direction drafted (JC) at kindredros-website/design/redesign-direction.md. Light, copy-led, Squarespace-implementable, grounded in Kevin's Acuity Lab + WUNDOR references and the $75M proof point. Moves away from the dark mockup in the parked repo. Has open questions for Kevin (light direction, imagery, founder photo, brand color) and a mockup plan. Set to in-progress, waiting on Kevin's react before producing mockups. Draft lives in the code repo working tree; left a note in Ben's inbox to commit it.
• 2026-06-02: WEB-5 decided (Kevin) — host on Squarespace; domain + hosting paid through March 2027. WEB-1 copy and WEB-2 structure still feed the build, but WEB-6 implementation happens in the Squarespace editor, not a code deploy. The kindredros-website repo is parked; revisit the Fly-hosted code option before the 2027 renewal.
• 2026-06-01: Above point no longer flagged. It was a metric Kevin stated to Ben.
• 2026-06-01: $75M proof point flagged — held out of public copy until Ben confirms number, scope, and source.
• 2026-06-01: Squarespace login working. JC logged in and added kindredros.com to Resend.
• 2026-06-01: Ben pushed kindredros-website repo to jean-claude-debug org. email.ts APP_URL default updated to kindredros.com.
• 2026-06-01: Resend domain verification DONE. DNS records in, domain verified, noreply@ sending enabled. WEB-3 and WEB-4 closed.
