feat(voice): product landing + macOS download#78
Merged
Conversation
Reframe the Voice pages from the parked "open-source AI phone answering" concept to the real shipping product: a closed-source, paid (free public beta) desktop softphone for macOS with local call recording and live transcription. - New /voice/download page — the target of the dl.wavekat.com redirect. Apple-Silicon .dmg CTA, signing/notarization note, setup steps, what-you'll-need, and the auto-update note. - Rewrite /voice landing: hero + download CTA, feature grid, how it works, who it's for, a Q&A section, and a closing CTA. - Centralize the version-stamped R2 download URL in src/lib/voice-download.ts (bump on each release). - Realign use-cases copy to the softphone (records/transcribes calls on your Mac) rather than an auto-answering service. - Add a featured "Our app" WaveKat Voice callout on the homepage. - Add "download" to the Voice sub-nav. - Polish: brand-orange hero glow, gradient accent, card hover states — on-brand (monospace, dark, #ff6d00) but more product-grade. macOS only for now, per direction — no other platforms surfaced.

- Read the current version, download URL, and size from the macOS
release feed (dl.wavekat.com/voice/latest-mac.yml) at build time
instead of hard-coding them. getMacDownload() in voice-download.ts
is memoized and falls back to a constant if the feed is unreachable,
so builds never break — and a new release shows up automatically.
- Strip jargon a small-business owner wouldn't recognize: "SIP",
"softphone", "PBX", "signed & notarized"/"Gatekeeper" → "your phone
provider", "phone app for your Mac", "Approved by Apple", etc.
("SIP" remains only as the wavekat-sip library name on the homepage.)

Add a Q&A entry explaining the Mac-first choice and that other platforms come based on real demand, with a "Tell us what you need" link to the talk-to-us page. FAQ items now support an optional CTA link. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Remove the Common Voice Explorer "Tools" section from the homepage.
- The featured Voice card no longer downloads the app directly; its
button now navigates to /voice/ ("Learn more & download"), so the
download happens from the product page. Drops the now-unused Apple
icon + build-time download fetch from the homepage.

Drop the "book a call" (Google Calendar) option and the "keep me posted" email-signup form from both the shared TalkCTA card and the /voice/talk page — email is the only channel now. Each surfaces a single "Email us" mailto CTA (talk page keeps the pre-filled template) and still fires the mailto_click Google Ads conversion.

Add a "voice" link to the top-right header nav next to docs and blog, using the same pill styling. Shows on every page (the header is shared) and highlights as active on Voice pages, which already pass active="voice". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add a canvas waveform field behind every page (mounted in Base.astro). Several smooth sine layers gently undulate at rest; where the cursor hovers, the nearby waves grow taller and brighter — the field comes alive around the mouse. On-brand for WaveKat (waves) and the Voice product. GPU-friendly (transform-free 2D canvas, ~5 layers), pauses when the tab is hidden, edge-masked so it stays ambient, and renders a single still frame (no mouse tracking) under prefers-reduced-motion.

Drop the wave layers' base opacity to ~0.04 (from ~0.13) and soften the cursor halo so the field is near-invisible at rest and never distracts from content. The mouse-hover swell still reveals the waves on interaction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Reframes the Voice section from the parked "open-source AI phone answering" concept to the real shipping product — a desktop phone app for Mac (free public beta) with call recording and live transcription — and gives it a proper, professional landing + download experience.
