home-app shape — marketing landing, 5-section grid, not a dashboard
oriz.in marketing landing page. Single hero + 5-section grid linking to /apps, /tools, /books, /packages, /me. Minimal copy. Designed for first impression and discovery. NOT a logged-in dashboard, NOT a personal home, NOT a status overview.
home-app shape
The decision
oriz.in (the home-app at repos/oriz/own/prod/apps/hub/home-app/) is a marketing landing page: single hero + 5-section grid. Minimal copy. Optimised for first impression.
The 5 sections (grid cards)
| Section | Links to | One-line purpose |
|---|---|---|
/apps | apps overview | All 24+ apps, cards per app, store badges |
/tools | tools overview | 16 single-purpose tool subdomains |
/books | books.oriz.in | Static book catalog (5 books) |
/packages | packages.oriz.in | npm package catalog (auto-discovered) |
/me | me.oriz.in / cs.oriz.in | Personal canon — resume, writing, lifestream |
What it is NOT
- NOT a dashboard. No logged-in stats, no charts, no “your activity”.
- NOT a personal home. The personal site is
me.oriz.in— see [[decisions/apps/cs-me-app-scope]]. - NOT a status page. Status lives at
status.oriz.invia Better Stack. - NOT a search interface. Search is per-app via Pagefind.
Why marketing-landing shape
First-time visitors arrive via “what is oriz?”. They need 5 seconds to a portfolio overview, not a list of features. Brand-first framing matches abc.xyz / leerob.io / brianlovin.com.
