Context & goal

Tie the north-star vision to real, visible progress so visitors can watch it being built — this makes the aspiration credible rather than vaporware.

Requirements

  • Add a Roadmap entry to the primary nav linking to the live rendered roadmap (https://koftwentytwo.github.io/nuncio/roadmap/) and the GitHub project/milestones. Either an on-site /roadmap page that summarises + links out, or a direct nav link — reachable from every page.
  • On the home page, add a "Follow the build" module pointing to the roadmap + GitHub — position it as "here's the future, and here's us building it in the open."

Acceptance criteria

  • Roadmap reachable from primary nav on every route; links resolve to the live roadmap + GitHub.
  • Build + lint pass.

Size: S.


Governing philosophy — north star. This site sells the vision: what Nuncio will be. Present it boldly and aspirationally, as the destination we're building toward — do not water it down to "here's a broken pre-alpha." Only three hard guardrails apply:

  1. Not available today. No "Download"/"Latest Release"/"install now". CTAs are "Notify me at launch", "Follow the build → GitHub", "See the roadmap →" (https://koftwentytwo.github.io/nuncio/roadmap/).
  2. No invented data as real. Benchmarks must be genuinely measured (cite the source) or omitted — no "<10ms across 100,000+ emails" as if proven. UI mockups/renders are encouraged, but framed as product previews of the vision, not screenshots of a real running inbox with real people.
  3. Status discoverable. A tasteful, consistent signal that this is in active development, plus a roadmap link, so a visitor understands it's what's coming and can see where we actually are.

Process: branch story/<slug> off the site's default branch; PR back; the PO reviews for vision quality AND the three guardrails before merge. npm run build + npm run lint must pass.
