site: direct per-platform downloads, and bring the copy up to date - #32
Merged
Conversation
The release assets carry their version in the file name, so GitHub's stable releases/latest/download/<name> URL cannot address them — which is why the site only ever linked to the releases page, where a non-GitHub visitor has to work out which of eleven files is theirs. assets/js/download.js resolves the real asset URLs from the API instead. It detects the platform (asking the GPU for the Mac's architecture, since Safari exposes no hint and every Mac still reports "MacIntel"), points the hero button at that build, and fills version and size into a platform menu and the three Get-it cards from one call. Every link ships pointing at the releases page and is rewritten in place, so a blocked script or a rate-limited API degrades to what the site did before. It picks the newest release carrying *all three* platforms rather than `/releases/latest`: while a release builds, its slowest bundle has not been uploaded yet, and offering it would strand whoever is on the missing platform. Also brings the copy level with what shipped — 78 tools, staged edits with a reviewable diff, delivery frames, beat snapping, transcript editing, streamed playback, GPU export — and fixes the og:image, which pointed at a screenshot that was never captured. og.png is generated from docs/og-source.html.

Direct downloads
Release assets carry their version in the file name (
Kerf_0.19.1_x64-setup.exe), soGitHub's stable
releases/latest/download/<name>URL cannot address them — which is whythe site only ever linked to the releases page, where a visitor who does not use GitHub
has to work out which of eleven files is theirs.
site/assets/js/download.jsresolves the real asset URLs from the API instead:(
Download for Linux · v0.19.1 · AppImage · 82.8 MB), with a menu holding everypublished file grouped by OS, each with its real size.
(
.exe/.msi), Linux (AppImage /.deb/.rpm) — each with the requirementsthat actually apply to it. The detected one is badged.
Mac still reports
MacIntel, so the WebGL renderer string decides. Unknown keepsApple silicon, with Intel one click away.
/releases/latest: while a release builds, its slowest bundle has not been uploadedyet, and offering that release would strand whoever is on the missing platform. This
was verified live against v0.19.1 — the Windows rows hid themselves while that job was
still running, then filled in.
and is rewritten in place, so a blocked script or a rate-limited API is no worse than
what the site did before.
Copy brought level with what shipped
Tool count 59 → 78. New feature cards for delivery frames + safe areas,
cut-to-the-beat, edit-by-transcript and GPU-accelerated export; rewrote playback
(streamed composited video, not a slideshow), analysis (transcription in every build),
effects (looks presets) and 360 (Insta360 pair stitching). The agent section now leads
with staged edits — the third card and the session mock show the review diff, since
agent edits no longer move the open cut. The README's feature table, tool lists, download
section and roadmap follow.
Fixes
og:imagewas broken. It pointed atdocs/img/screenshot-editor.png, a file thatwas never captured, so every social preview 404'd.
docs/img/og.pngis generated fromdocs/og-source.html; the regeneration command is indocs/img/README.md.Analysis &amp; speech..wrapsits atz-index: 1, so DOM order won).Design
A stat strip under the hero, a nav download chip,

Still open
The site has no real app screenshots —
docs/img/README.mdhas the shot list, and theREADME shows broken images for all three.
