Wrap the template in AnimatePresence (mode="wait") with a FrozenRouter that
pins the layout-router context, so the outgoing page animates out (blur +
rise) before the incoming page animates in.
- Add (site)/template.tsx: one framer-motion enter animation (fade + rise +
blur) that runs on every navigation, so moving between dock pages has a
clean transition.
- Disable the staggered .hero-rise entrance now that the template handles it.
- Dock icons are now real SVG files under public/dock/ (macOS squircle
look, active variants), so they can be replaced with custom art later.
- Full-bleed icons (DockIcon padding 0), fixed logo src to stop the
refresh flash.
- Remove the top menu bar entirely; relocate theme/language/sound (+admin)
into a corner control dock that expands on click.
Swap the pill navigation for a macOS-style dock as the primary nav and a
slim top menu bar for utilities:
- components/ui/dock.tsx: Magic UI Dock/DockIcon (magnification via
useSpring/useTransform), ported to the project's framer-motion.
- components/layout/site-dock.tsx: bottom dock with the logo as the first
icon, each item a real next/link (SEO preserved, active state from the
pathname), monochrome squircle tiles, hover tooltips and a "soon" badge
for Products; top menu bar keeps locale/sound/theme/admin + a live clock.
- (site)/layout.tsx: render SiteDock instead of SiteHeader.
Home bento grid and all page content are unchanged.
Merge the category and project routes under a single /portfolio/[slug]
segment via resolvePortfolioSlug (category wins over project on a slug
clash). Removes the /portfolio/category/... prefix from links, redirect,
and sitemap. Adds resolver integration tests.
The homepage hero had no call to action (Phase 0 finding). Add a live
availability pill and primary/secondary CTAs while keeping the signature title.
- HomeHero: optional availability status pill (pulsing dot) plus primary
(view work) and secondary (contact) CTAs, RTL-aware arrow, using the type
scale. Backward compatible (all new props optional).
- Wire copy + hrefs from the homepage; add heroVisual.primaryCta /
secondaryCta to en/de/ar.
Verified: JSON valid, eslint clean, no new type errors.
The detail page rendered an empty <PageHero /> (blank gradient band) with the
real title buried in a card lower down (Phase 0 finding).
- Populate the detail PageHero with the project category (badge), title and
summary, so the top of the page is a proper header.
- Slim the in-content ProjectHeader to back-link + meta chips + preview button,
removing the now-duplicated title and summary. Applies across all three
detail templates (grid/story/case-study).
Verified: eslint clean, no new type errors.
Bring imagery to the homepage projects block (Phase 3), matching the portfolio
gallery.
- Thread coverImagePath through ProjectCardCopy and the home mapping.
- Rewrite ProjectsSection as image-first cards (reusing PortfolioCover with the
branded placeholder fallback): whole-card link, featured project spans two
columns with a larger cover, type-scale title, meta + stack badges, hover
lift. Replaces the previous text-only cards.
Verified: eslint clean; no new type errors (pre-existing Prisma-gen anys only).
- Replace animated blob/wave/noise backdrop with clean static gradient
(radial ellipse highlights + linear fade) in hero-motion-backdrop
- Remove all framer-motion from background layer; delete unused CSS
classes: hero-blob, hero-sheet-glow, hero-sheet-wave, hero-sheet-noise,
hero-title-shift keyframe, and responsive blob media queries
- Add framer-motion stagger entrance to HeroContentMotion, HeroMotionItem,
and HeroTitle (slide-up + fade on mount)
- Refactor coming-soon page to use HeroContentMotion/HeroMotionItem
instead of MotionFade (whileInView unreliable above the fold)
