## About Page Redesign

### Hero

- "Own your markdown. Use it anywhere."
- Platform badges: Web, VS Code, Mac App, CLI, Chrome, MCP, QuickLook (clickable → plugins)
- 6-slide hero carousel with drag, arrows, dots, snap
  - WYSIWYG Editor, Chrome Extension, VS Code, Mac App, Beautiful Rendering, Math/Diagrams/Code

### Three Pillars → Independent Cards

- **Capture** — "Capture. Import. Paste." + 5 items + icon
- **Edit** — "Edit like a doc." + 5 items + icon
- **Share** — "Get a permanent URL." + 5 items + icon

### New Sections

- **Ecosystem flow diagram** — Sources → Surfaces → mdfy.cc/d/\* → Outputs (all clickable)
- **Vision: Where mdfy is going** — Today (Live) / Tomorrow (Coming Soon) / Beyond (Vision) with badges
- **Comparison: vs AI Memory Solutions** — mdfy vs Mem0, Letta, Notion AI (10 features)
- **Comparison: vs Markdown tools** — mdfy vs HackMD, StackEdit, Obsidian Publish, Gist (12 features)
- **Pricing: 4 tiers** — No Account, Beta (Free Now), Pro (After Beta), Build (Coming Q2 2026)
- **Manifesto link** — "The bigger picture" callout

### Design

- Section headings: accent orange color
- Image glow effects
- Lightbox (click to zoom)
- Visual break divider before Vision
- Transition text between sections

---

## Plugins Page

### CTA Buttons

- Each plugin card has header CTA + footer action area
- Header: prominent accent button (Add to Chrome, Install Extension, Download for Mac, etc.)
- Footer: primary button + outline secondary + text links (Quick Start Guide, View on npm, etc.)

### Fixed Issues

- MCP "Add to Claude" → now links to /docs/mcp (was /api/mcp showing blank)
- Desktop/QuickLook header download buttons → now use actual download URLs
- All footers have consistent button pattern

### Section Anchors

- All plugin sections have IDs for deep linking (#chrome, #vscode, #desktop, #cli, #mcp, #quicklook)

---

## Architecture: i18n Shared Components

### Pattern

```
src/lib/i18n/about.ts          ← EN/KO translations
src/components/AboutContent.tsx ← Shared structure
app/about/page.tsx              ← 19 lines (metadata + locale="en")
app/ko/about/page.tsx           ← 19 lines (metadata + locale="ko")
```

### Applied to

- About (AboutContent + i18n/about.ts)
- Manifesto (ManifestoContent + i18n/manifesto.ts)
- Plugins (PluginsContent + i18n/plugins.ts)

### Benefits

- Content change → edit translation file only
- Design change → edit component only
- Both languages auto-updated

---

## Welcome Overlay (New)

- 5-slide onboarding for first-time visitors
- Slide 1: Hero — "Own your markdown. Use it anywhere."
- Slide 2: Capture — paste, import, Chrome extension
- Slide 3: Edit — WYSIWYG, no syntax needed
- Slide 4: Share — permanent URL, one click
- Slide 5: Ecosystem — 6 surfaces with descriptions + plugins link
- Prev/Next/Skip navigation, dot indicators
- Dismissed via localStorage, "Replay welcome tour" button on home screen

---

## Home Screen Fixes

- First visit: no document selected (no VIEW ONLY badge)
- Examples section: open by default on first visit
- Section headings: RECENT, CREATE, GUIDES & EXAMPLES, EXPLORE all in accent orange
- Removed CmdN/CmdV keyboard badges

---

## Other Updates

- **Discover/Trending page** — DocsNav + SiteFooter (was inline nav)
- **Nav redesign** — centered links (About, Plugins, Docs, GitHub), language dropdown, mobile hamburger
- **MCP docs** — memory layer intro box (Today: Live / Coming: Q2 2026)
- **CSS** — phase badges (live/coming-soon/vision), carousel, terminal mockups, glow effects
- **Images** — WebP lossless, hero carousel with 6 slides, Chrome extension screenshot
- **Google Analytics** — G-V3LTDKKHTS
- **Comparison tables** — verified accuracy (Obsidian Publish WYSIWYG fixed, Mem0 MCP added)

---

## File Count

- 25+ files modified/created
- +6,655 lines added
- i18n: 3 translation files, 3 shared components
- Korean: 10 new pages

---

*Built by Hyunsang + Claude at Raymind.AI*

---

## Summary
The update adds a new manifesto page, completes Korean language support across the site with auto-redirect middleware, redesigns the about page with ecosystem diagrams and feature comparisons, and improves the plugins page with consistent CTAs and deep linking, using a shared i18n component architecture to maintain both English and Korean versions from single source files.

## Themes
- Bilingual expansion and localization
- Component-driven architecture
- User onboarding and discovery

## Key takeaways
- The update adds 10 new Korean language pages with auto-redirect middleware and language dropdown navigation.
- Three shared component types (AboutContent, ManifestoContent, PluginsContent) each pair with a translation file to enable content-only or design-only updates.
- The about page now includes ecosystem flow diagram, vision roadmap with three time horizons, and two competitive comparison tables (AI memory solutions and markdown tools).
- A 5-slide welcome overlay with localStorage dismissal provides onboarding for first-time visitors covering capture, edit, share, and ecosystem features.
- The plugins page fixed broken MCP documentation links and standardized button patterns across header CTAs and footer action areas.
- The update spans 25+ modified or created files with 6,655 lines added across i18n files, shared components, and Korean language pages.

## Insights
- The i18n pattern separates content from presentation, allowing simultaneous updates across languages without code duplication.
- The welcome overlay and home screen redesign work together to guide first-time visitors through the product's core value proposition before exposing them to advanced features.
- Deep linking via section anchors on the plugins page suggests an emphasis on indexability and shareable documentation patterns.

## Open questions / gaps
- What specific metrics will determine success of the welcome overlay adoption and skip rates?
- How are the vision timeline badges (Today/Tomorrow/Beyond) expected to evolve as the product roadmap changes?
