What's new

A UI/UX polish pass across both web surfaces — purposeful animations guided by Emil Kowalski's design engineering principles, a fully redesigned landing page, and a refreshed dashboard screenshot. No protocol, API, or config changes.

Dashboard

  • Staggered card entrance via Vue <TransitionGroup> — cards fade + slide up with a per-card --i delay (capped at 8 so a full page doesn't drag)
  • Smooth accordion playergrid-template-rows: 0fr↔1fr so the expanded player animates to its real height with no max-height jump
  • Correct easing--ease-out: cubic-bezier(0.23,1,0.32,1) for entrances, --ease-drawer: cubic-bezier(0.32,0.72,0,1) for the accordion; no spring/bounce on functional UI
  • 8px corner radius on search box, sort toggle, cards panel, play button, skip controls
  • Gentle reduced-motion — keeps opacity fades, drops all movement (slide, accordion height, press scale)

Landing page

  • De-boxed layout — structure with whitespace + h2 hairlines; only the screenshot frame and terminal features block stay framed
  • Story-grounded hero — "Read it back to me." with copy pulled from the project origin, not generic SaaS taglines
  • Terminal features listingreadback --features faux shell block replaces the old grid
  • Trimmed to hook-and-redirect — four sections cut (flow diagram, quick-start, timeline, architecture stack) → single Dive-in band with GitHub links
  • rAF stepper replacing setInterval — drives the screenshot crossfade progress bar (transform: scaleX) without timer drift
  • Mobile fix — waveform player stacks to two rows on ≤600px (was overflowing at 375px)

Other

  • Refreshed dashboard screenshot (1500×968, 1.550:1 — fills the demo frame edge-to-edge)
  • All four version anchors bumped: pyproject.toml, src/readback/__init__.py, src/cli/package.json, src/dashboard/package.json

Upgrading

Pull and rebuild the dashboard + CLI binary:

git pull
cd src/dashboard && bun run build && cd ../..   # rebuild dashboard dist/
cd src/cli && ./install.sh && cd ../..           # rebuild CLI binary (banner shows v3.1.0)

Server restart picks up the new dashboard automatically.
