The lineup doubled this week. Alongside Calcimator, Tuck, Linked Ascent, and PortsMapper, the site now carries four more: Cairnote (a markdown platform spanning CLI, terminal, and editor), Cut-Mode (fat-loss tracking with automated phase cycling), Market View (a strategy backtesting workbench), and Spruce Bear (website audits with a live improved demo).
With eight products, a flat grid on the homepage started to feel like a copy of the products page. So the homepage got an orbit: one product in focus at the center, the other seven circling it slowly as satellites, each staying perfectly upright while the ring turns. Click any satellite and it takes the center.
Then we turned our own tooling on ourselves. Spruce Bear's pitch is a before/after audit of your website — so this site had to survive one. The scoreboard came back 100/100/100/100 on Lighthouse with a 263-millisecond LCP, which felt good for about a minute, until the deeper pass found the cracks: an unstyled 404 page, product links that shared with no preview image, not a single security header, and a phantom CDN serving dead images.
Every finding was fixed and deployed the same day: a branded 404, generated share cards for every product in its own accent color, the full security-header set, AVIF images, view transitions, speculative prerendering, structured data, and an llms.txt for the AI agents that increasingly read the web on people's behalf.
The lesson we'd pitch to any prospect: a perfect Lighthouse score is table stakes, not the finish line. The cracks live in the places automated scores don't look.
