FidoNext Landing Site

FidoNext is the people-owned successor to FidoNet: Signal’s privacy, libp2p decentralization, and Telegram-class scalability fused into one mesh protocol. This repository contains the public landing page that communicates the mission, roadmap, and hiring needs for FidoNext.org.

Stack

• Astro 5 (static export)
• Global CSS (Space Grotesk + Inter) with custom node-grid visuals
• Zero client-side JavaScript for fast, censorship-friendly delivery
• PNG favicon generated from the official logo

Requirements

• Node.js 20+ (use n or nvm)
• npm 10+

# install deps
npm install

# local dev
npm run dev

# production build
npm run build

# preview the dist build
npm run preview

The production build outputs static HTML/CSS to dist/, making it trivial to host on any CDN or IPFS.

Deployment Strategy

1. Vercel (primary)

1. Create a Vercel project pointing to this repo.
2. Set Framework Preset to Astro; default build command npm run build, output dist.
3. Configure environment: NODE_VERSION=20. Optionally add PUBLIC_CONTACT_EMAIL=dev@fidonext.org if you externalize CTAs later.
4. Point fidonext.org + www.fidonext.org DNS to Vercel edge.

2. Cloudflare Pages (secondary / mirror)

1. Run npm run build locally.
2. Install Wrangler: npm install -g wrangler (or use Cloudflare dashboard).
3. Publish: wrangler pages publish dist --project-name=fidonext.
4. Add DNS pages.dev CNAME or configure as failover using Cloudflare Load Balancer.

3. IPFS / Fleek mirror (ideological backup)

1. npm run build.
2. ipfs add -r dist (or use Fleek).
3. Publish CID and add DNSLink: _dnslink.fidonext.org = dnslink=/ipfs/<CID>.
4. Optionally pin via Filebase or Web3.Storage for redundancy.

Updating Content

All copy lives in src/pages/index.astro. Sections map one-to-one with the product narrative (Hero, Mission, What is, Human-first, Features, Developers, Roadmap, Hiring, CTA). Adjust the arrays at the top of the file to update cards, roadmap items, or contact emails.

Version Archives

• versions/version1/ — snapshot of the pre-Solana design (monochrome mesh, node-grid look) saved on 2025‑11‑20. Use it if you need to restore the previous layout or compare copy changes.

Brand Assets

• public/favicon.png is generated from the official FidoNext logo (public/fidonext_logo.jpeg) for consistent identity.
• Typography + node-grid background align with the “Digital Humanity / Post-server Internet” tone of voice.

Next Steps

• Connect analytics (Plausible or oatuh?) via Astro <script> if needed.
• Add translations (RU/EN) once product messaging stabilizes.
• Automate multi-host deployments via GitHub Actions (vercel deploy, wrangler pages publish, ipfs add).
